Edwin Cardona was the first player of the Colombian National Team to face the media to talk about the debacle of the last double date of the Qatar 2022 tie.
True to his usual style, he put his heart to the question that the whole country is asking: what happened to the team against Uruguay (0-3) and against Ecuador (6-1)?
“I think the games are different right now, you don’t win because of the name, but you have to go out on the pitch and die in ‘the war’. It was hard for us because they scored nine goals, this had never happened to me as a player” , he said, in an interview with the program 90 minutes of ESPN Argentina.
But he quickly encouraged: “There we continue ‘at the foot of the canyon’ with the group and obviously we have talked about what happened at the time and also a pity …”.
Regarding the departure of Carlos Queiroz, precisely because of those bad results, he said: “Sometimes the person responsible, suddenly, may be the coach. They say that the coach and the coach, but those of us who enter the field are the players.
This belongs to everyone and not just one person, so it also hurts what generates a loss, that someone can leave.
According to Cardona, Queiroz cannot be the only one responsible, although it is true that, as head of the group, he was going to pay the cost: “But in the end it does not depend on you, because he tries to call the players who he thinks are for the selection and for those games. And then you find yourself with what happened, losing two very hard games and someone ends up going who in the end will always be, suddenly, the person responsible “.
Cardona did not hide and put his face to the debacle: “but I believe that we are all responsible here, those who played, traveled, doctors and everyone. In the end this is a team, it is not only players and technicians. Here we are all and in the end we felt this defeat. “
The player, having a great moment at Boca Juniors, hopes to raise his head soon after this crisis that has the Colombian National Team without a coach.
