Carlos Queiroz’s departure: “These are decisions that football has. One day you are good, another bad, they are the things of football and the coaches. He is a master who worked and did things very well. He goes through the big door everything that went that way, with these defeats. “, He said.
Defeat against Uruguay and Ecuador: “People look at bad results more than anything, because they always want their team to win. They were two difficult matches for us, these defeats cost us a lot but the work done by the boss was great and we did our best with him “.
Internal conflict: “These are things that people talk about. It hurts us and the boss. The players talk to each other in the dressing room, but there were no misunderstandings. What was said was not true. Between us there is an incredible union and joy. What they said was totally false. There is always a good atmosphere. In fact, when I first came to the national team, it seemed like I had been there all my life, they received me very well, ”he explained.
New DT of the Colombia Selection

“It’s a motivation to be in a club as big as this and it motivates you to do a good job. Hhistorically, we Colombians have performed very well. When I had the opportunity to choose, I didn’t think about everything that Porto represents and everything that the Colombian players who have been here have done. ”
“(Falcao and James) They represent a lot here. They are figures who will never leave the hearts of the inflated Porto. They motivate me because I have to give more than they have even given, “he concluded.
