A statement by Carlos Bacca made that the process of José Pékerman, which lasted 6 years and was discussed again in the last days in which the Colombia National Team played the World Cups in Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018, in addition to achieving third place in the Copa América Centenario in 2016.
Néstor Lorenzo, technical assistant and José Pékerman’s right-hand man throughout the process, spoke to Win Sports Long Kick and responded to criticism from the Villarreal forward, who had said that he lacked more confidence from the Argentine coach. “I felt very good. They are things that you keep, but I lacked that confidence that the striker needs, from day to day, I never had it”
Lorenzo, 54, stressed that players have the right to express an opinion, but that often as the footballer asks for confidence, the coach can also ask for it. He also spoke about the Cardona case and stated that it is very difficult to explain to a player why he did not go to a World Cup. It happened to Lorenzo with Bilardo in 1986.
Response to Bacca’s comment
“The player sometimes has sensations that change over time. First Carlos is a player who was in the orbit of the players called by us. He traveled and played the two World Cups. On each campus there are codes of coexistence and training in some way. That of rehearsing with one team and then playing with another, happens many times. The player asks for the coach’s trust and many times the coach asks that the trust be his. “
“It does not seem to me that he had to say it, but it is something of him. Many times similar things happened, but that does not mean that it is lack of confidence. You have the right to say what you want to say, many times I tell the player that he is the one who gives confidence. There is a message, an attitude and I regret that I had that feeling with José“
Criticism of some players
“It is normal. In Argentina Bilardo was world champion and 200 players criticized him and after he was champion many did not dare to say anything. At my best it didn’t take me, but they are decisions. That fellow who was also deserves respect“
Self-criticism at the end of the Pékerman cycle
“We did it within the coaching staff, I do not seem to ventilate or talk about it. There are always successes and errors and thus enhance the successes, but the whole process was very positive and I keep that. “
Cardona’s criticism for not going to the World Cup
“There were players who gave us a lot and never went to the World Cup, and never came out to talk. Macnelly Torres in 2014 was at a great level in the Qualifiers, but near the World Cup Juanfer came better and was. They are decisions that they may or may not like and no matter how much one tells them the reasons, they will never understand“.
