Colombia had two terrible performances on this last Fifa date of 2020. The year ended with a defeat against Uruguay, 3-0 in Barranquilla, and 6-1 against Ecuador in Quito.
The Tricolor went from being a team with very good results at the start of the Qualifying Round with a victory over Venezuela and a draw when visiting Chile, to two surprising results that left it badly off in the face of international competition.
Although Colombia is still alive in the Eliminatory, there are some circumstantial reasons why it went from a great start to the championship to these embarrassing presentations.
* While James Rodriguez He was not the great figure at the start of the Qualifiers, the good moment in which he arrived served to cast doubt on the rivals. The steering wheel it came with wind in the shirt product of his good performances at Everton and that was a mental boost to be able to face his rivals in the early days. For this game, James arrived opaque and without great significance, something that followed them to the field of play where he could never show off his football quality.
* In the first two dates they came out as figures Jefferson Lerma and Luis Fernando Muriel. Both footballers had been protagonists of their teams and with the National Team shirt they emerged to score goals, contribute with their good game in defense and attack, being surprises for the rivals in the absence of play of the figures. On these two dates there was not a single redeemable player in the two games played.
* Fast transitions never appeared in the game of the Colombian National Team and that disabled men with great capacity to take advantage of the spaces left by the rival.
* When the good game does not appear, pride must prevail and that too was lacking. Colombia drew a draw against Chile that was celebrated as a triumph based on self-love, grit and strength, but against Uruguay and Ecuador it never managed to overcome the blows it received.
* Although David Ospina and Camilo Vargas were saviors despite the wins, defensive security was very fragile on these two qualifying rounds. Yerry Mina, Dávinson Sánchez and Jeison Murillo did not offer the guarantees to disable the powerful forwards they faced on this day and were always inferior. In previous dates, the defenders were much more confident to be able to control the rivals.
