The Colombian, nominated for best player in America in 2020, is asking for a place in the national team. With goals, the striker makes a space in the notebook of coach Reinaldo Rueda. This Thursday the barranquillero scored the first goal in River’s thrashing 5-0 against Racing, winning the Argentine Super Cup. The gunner adds another title in River with the ‘Muñeco’ Gallardo: 2 Cups, 2 Super Cups, a Cup Winners’ Cup and a Copa Libertadores.
Collective titles with River Plate are not his only cover letter, in 2020 he became the top scorer in the Argentine Superleague, as well as forming the 11th ideal of America and the Copa Libertadores.
Recently the star of River assured for the chain Radial Snail: “as player one always is excited to be in the Selection. They are four years in River, giving everything to arrive at the Selection. Today what strikes me most is being able to be in the Colombia National Team … One always wants to play and it will depend on what the teacher (Roda) is looking for “.
The Colombian striker knows that the competition is tough, to win a place at the front of the National Team is to compete against impressive numbers, those of Falcao, those of Duván Zapata, Luis Fernando Muriel, Luis Díaz, among others; but the 25-year-old figure knows that the average goal of recent years is his lethal weapon: in 2019 he played 36 games and scored 18 goals, in 2020 he played 14 games and scored 6 goals, this 2021 barely has played 5 games and has scored 2 goals.
Saints I erased already made debut with the Selection, two friendly ones disputed in the United States in the year 2019 allowed him to put the Colombian t-shirt, but in the year 2020 during the first dates of the eliminatory one in the World-wide one of Qatar the forward is infected by Covid, reason for which could not be considered by the trainer of that moment (Queiroz).
I erased to score this Thursday in the 31st minute with a powerful header to the corner, a goal with which River opened the scoring to get the Super Cup.
After the title, the Colombian hopes that this time around he will catapult him to the list of those chosen in the next call of Professor Reinaldo Rueda.
