Latorre talks about this connection of the Colombian footballer with the Argentine, a historical relationship, since Di Stéfano.
“Today ‘s players are steeped in this influence, as well as in the memories of that generation that led the pibe Valderrama and the genetics were very Argentine, so it’s not uncommon for them to feel comfortable and choose our football to grow in their careers, helped because the Colombian market is still relatively affordable in economics for Argentine clubs, ”he wrote.
He reflects that Argentine football must rethink the way it explores its new talents, while the ones who stand out, those of talent, are the Colombians.
“In this class of footballers, and also in strikers like Villa, I erased, in his day Falcao or right now Londoño, another Colombian boy who last Thursday defined with his goal the Superclassic Reserve, believe it or not, without average terms. They all come to Primera with matters to perform in their performance, but the only way to pass is with the absolute confidence of the coach, and it doesn’t always happen, “said Latorre.
Finally, he says that Argentine clubs are fascinated by the natural talent of Colombians, who can unlock matches for them. But he questions why the prominence is no longer of the Argentines themselves.
