The controversy continues over the alleged fights in the dressing room of the Colombia team

The humiliating win that the Colombia team received in Ecuador left fractures and many rumors. Last November 18th, the journalist Javier Hernández Bonnet revealed that, according to sources within the selected team itself, a fight would have further fractured the relationship between the players.

The communicator assured in his Blu Radio program ‘Sports Blog ” who did some serious investigative work in which he learned about a fistfighting episode in the locker room.

“There are groups facing each other within the National Team. There were episodes whose protagonists managed to fall apart within the Colombian national team “said the journalist on the station.

On the afternoon of this Thursday, James Rodríguez himself issued a statement through his Twitter account:

“I disclaim all kinds of alleged information alluding to mistreatment, aggression, disputes or all kinds of controversy raised between players and in which I am mentioned as the protagonist, ”said the team’s midfielder in his statement.

The Colombian Football Federation also spoke out against the reports of discord in the dressing rooms of the Colombian team and He stated that although the players had a strong emotional blow from the defeats against Uruguay and Ecuador, no clashes between them have been reported.

“We want to be emphatic that during the 12 days of concentration, an atmosphere of cordiality, camaraderie and friendship was maintained among all the members of the Colombian National Team, as has been characteristic”, assured the federation.

Minutes after the statements were made known, Bonnet said on Blu Radio that he emphasized that James spoke out about the situation, but assured that his statements are true:

“He will have to demonstrate in reality, demonstrate that this did not exist, because there are very serious testimonies that we keep in the face of such delicate news,” confirmed the journalist.

The communicator said that at the time he did not reveal the names involved out of respect, but that, by mentioning James, he “has every right to make any claim, be it personal, friendly or legal.”

Additionally, Bonnet said that he has a way to back up the information he gave to Colombians:

“The testimonials are in chat, I have them in chat. I have no problem, I have no problem ”, he confirmed.

Hernández Bonnet was the first to refer to the issue days ago on his radio program. “The fact is recognized, but not the names. There was a player who stamped another, both of international level in this double round of the Qualifiers ”.

Later, in ‘The Firefly’ From Caracol Radio, the journalist María Alejandra Villamizar gave more information about the confrontation, based on data that, she says, was given by a source within the team.

According to the journalist, the fight did not take place in Ecuador but in Barranquilla and would have been between James Rodríguez and Jefferson Lerma.

“They had already fought in Barranquilla. James in Barranquilla had caught up with Lerma and Dávinson Sánchez. When Queiroz scolded them, they told him: ‘We give up and don’t bother’, more or less “, assured the journalist in the first part of her speech.

Rodríguez, who is in England, announced that he could take legal measures and the controversy does not seem to have ended.
