“Overrated! they play in small teams ”: Carlos Antonio Vélez did not save anyone in his analysis of Colombia vs. Uruguay

The renowned Colombian commentator Carlos Antonio Velez was quite critical of the Colombian national team players, after the 3-0 defeat against Uruguay in the Barranquilla Metropolitan Stadium. The journalist said that Carlos Queiroz failed in the choice of players and that while the ‘charrúas’ play in top teams, the Colombians are “small team players “.

“Scandalous defeat and nobody is saved. The first 2 goals were lost while going out or in exaggerated driving also without any rebellion. They passed us by. They have many TOP players while ours play in small teams except Square. Overrated !!!” , the journalist trilled.

The sports analyst urged the Portuguese coach to assume his role as leader in the national team and asked that Players who do not comply both in attack and defense are not aligned. In addition, Vélez, in the program La Polémica de Win Sport, hinted that there are people within the coaching staff there are people who are hindering Queiroz’s work.

In this same television space he attacked Yerry Mina, of whom he assured that the best of the game was to be expelled, and against Luis Fernando Muriel, “I don’t know what merits Muriel has done so that he is above all and they put him in games where he doesn’t have to play. He didn’t even grab her. One needs to be from Jupiter not to find out that Yerry Mina is a danger, the only good thing she did is get expelled because that way she won’t play the game in Ecuador”.

Another of of the journalists who expressed their nonconformity through social networks was Ivan Mejia, who tweeted: “Mine on the same level as Everton. Keep organizing the dance. Fortunately, this torture ended, it had not been a bad game for a long time ”.

The former member of the Football Pulse in past matches had harshly criticized Carlos Queiroz’s calls, “There is no one who can pass goal; they confuse intensity with vertigo; They start on the bands and end in a funnel down the middle; lack of pause and talent. I look around and think of Teo ”. That time they faced Peru in a friendly match won 1-0.

Many of the analyst’s followers endorsed the comment and took the opportunity to add James Rodríguez to the list of underperforming players, Luis Fernando Muriel, Duván Zapata and Matheus Uribe.

Colombia signed this Friday, November 13, its worst defeat at home in the World Cup qualifying rounds since playing at the Metropolitan de Barranquilla. Those led by Queiroz showed their worst side as a national team when they lost 0-3 against the Uruguay team.

The game started slow but a mistake by Yerry Mina put the team charrúa forward on the scoreboard; thus showing the rhythm of the game and the tragedy that would be written later.

The Everton defender handed Lerma a ball in a dangerous area; compromising the player and letting Cavani go hand in hand with Ospina.

The both diminished the aspirations of Colombia and Although Queiroz insisted on changing the course, the change of Barrios for Luis Díaz did not work.

The one from Porto was the only one who showed a good face in the disastrous afternoon of the Tricolor. From Muriel, through Zapata and ending in James, Colombia played their worst afternoon in a long time.

It was the second half that finished burying those led by Carlos Quiroz, because after only ten minutes of starting the second part of the match, James Rodríguez, who played in an unfamiliar area, lost the ball against Cavani, that enabled Bentancur, who met Jeison Murillo.

Immediately the referee pointed to the penalty spot and Suárez put the second nail to bury the illusions of the Tricolor team. In the 73rd minute, Núñez fired a missile with his right leg to beat Ospina, who had nothing to do.

Now it is Queiroz’s turn to change course for the next match of the Colombian National Team, against an Ecuador that is not easy at all.

The team of Maestro Tabárez, who came out to play with their traditional 4-4-2, was able to achieve a victory in the Metropolitano for the first time, since the last time the blue team won by qualifying rounds in Colombia, the match was played in Bogotá.
