list of candidates

as we discussed in the previous post ... other than falcao there are other players also appeared in the list of candidates to become the new Captain of the Team.

And some pointed to James Rodriguez for being a scorer World. "Although I'm young, I can assume, but there are others who can do that carry more years here. Falcao is a leader, and I can also help the team, "he said.

The band was Falcao for 61 minutes, until Pekerman gave him rest. The inherited Pablo Armero, the player with the most matches in the selection among 24 summoned to face El Salvador (he reached 60 games).

Falcao leader spoke after the game: "We had to give everything one hundred percent, and the team did: he respected rival and respected, especially the work he is doing this team," said Falcao. "I am very pleased with the overall team performance, the goal I scored. This is very important; We get to know the new, and the moves that will end up in creating scoring chances, "said Falcao, who returned to goal and felt very close to the heart, the band that was squeezing his left arm ...

Will Yepes replacement?????

Radamel Falcao assumes the role of captain of the Colombia 

The striker has had that responsibility against Belgium and Holland. Will Yepes replacement?

It was a new experience that Radamel Falcao García lived Friday in New Jersey (USA) came head of the line selection of Colombia, with the flag of the Colombian Football Federation and with that band in two shades of blue squeezing his left arm. Again, Falcao was the captain of Team Colombia. And this time it seems to be for long.

The absence of Mario Alberto Yepes, the captain of the team in recent years, has opened another search team: a new captain. Falcao had already left the field in this condition almost a year ago: November 15, 2013, against Belgium. "Very well, happy, since it is a big responsibility and is a dream that there was a child," he said then. That day had scored his last goal with the national team. Friday also scored. The band brings you luck ... 

"My role today is still to contribute and give me the most. Could not be in the World Cup and now I return, I drew the aim is to bring me to this team continues to improve and get even more important goals, "Falcao after El Salvador 3-0, a victory he said helped build it, scoring the first goal and participate in the other two. 

One of the historical bearers of the band team captain, Carlos 'Kid' Valderrama, I ran to take the post leaving Yepes, who is now certain that will not be in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. 

"With the departure of Yepes, Falcao should be captain. He is the figure of the team. Should take over as captain, "he said Valderrama 'Sports Spectacular' program.

                               

since the 'Kid' left the team after the World Cup in France 98, almost all owners of the strip on the left arm were defenders: Jorge Bermudez put in the Copa America in Paraguay 99, the first official tournament after Valderrama output. Then in the season as coach Luis Augusto Garcia, the band had several owners until the next America's Cup, the 2001 of Colombia, Francisco Maturana gave it to Ivan Cordoba: he lifted the trophy and held with that responsibility for long. 

Mario Yepes took over after the departure of Cordoba National Team and was the natural leader of the team that qualified for the World Cup Brazil 2014 The respect he earned summarized in this anecdote: when Colombia was out of the Copa America in Argentina 2011, Yepes said he could not follow, that the age and the physical no longer gave him. Camilo Zuniga took the shouting and said: "So we run twice to touch others, you will continue with us." And Yepes reached the World.And what was important! Not surprisingly surpassed the barrier of 100 appearances for the national team. 

But now is not Yepes. Against Brazil in the first game after the unforgettable 'Mundialazo' Camilo Zuniga put the band on the left arm, but for a special reason: it was the reunion with Neymar, who also went as captain. Embrace sealed a forgive and forget for the play that ended the World Cup for Brazil.

The game would be disputed in London. It has not been confirmed by any of the two federations.

On his website, FIFA announced Tuesday the selection Colombia have a friendly match against the United States on November 14 in London (England). It would be the friendly room team after the World Cup Brazil 2014 and the first in Europe, as coach Jose Pekerman called to the team's base does not have to travel far. 

For his part, the president of the Colombia Football Federation, Luis Bedoya, told  that the "party is not confirmed but they are in talks." 
After the great performance in Brazil, Colombia lost 1-0 in friendly duels with 'scratch' and then beat El Salvador 3-0 and 1-0 to Canada in games played on American soil. 
The last time Colombia and the United States faced was the October 12, 2010, in Chester (Pennsylvania, USA). The game ended tied goalless.

'Pekerman knows that Colombia can grow to 50 percent' !!!

'Pekerman knows that Colombia can grow to 50 percent' 

Gerardo Salorio, physical expreparador, spoke with TIME about his friendship with the coach of the team.

Gerardo Salorio walk slow. Hands in pockets. The sturdy, suspicious look. The white hair and a prominent silver mustache give him away. He walks shyly and greets. While not always talk about football confesses that handles low profile. That was from when José Pekerman met nearly 30 years ago. It was one of his closest collaborators in Argentina and greater selection of youth, with which they won five world titles. 

Saluda firmly. It is character, but also humorous. He was born in Buenos Aires. He is 55 years old. This is his third visit to Colombia, always football issues since years is dedicated to giving talks. It has much to tell, not only because Argentina was at the selection when Lionel Messi debuted, but she knows well to Pekerman, coach of Colombia. Salorio was his trainer in Argentina; today is his friend at a distance. 

How did you meet José Pekerman? 

Fortuitously form in the club Argentinos Juniors. He was coach of the book and I was teacher of the largest categories in the lower. They asked me to be his trainer and accepted. We started to get along. Well, to work 10 years together until he went to Colo Colo of Chile. He called me when he returned to the team in '94 I was with him from that time until 2002 there will again in 2004 and worked in the World Cup, then offered me to go to a couple of places, but I told no, not something personal but because I was rooted to the Argentina team. 

What do you remember of your work with him in Argentina selections? 

It worked quietly, smoothly, it is a very, very average boss. Technicians sometimes are not very normal; are complicated, have their anger, their fights. He did not. To see angry really have to do something ugly. It has a very important inner peace. 

What worked then? 

Team. Each had a gift that the other did not, that was the brilliance of the technical group. Pekerman knew bring out the gift of the other and put it to the team. "Not only will I use my brain but we borrow from others" is a phrase I use in my talks and serves to describe that. He could amalgamate that everyone played a role protruding above the rest. We did not win the World largest (Germany 2006) because we went to Colombia as: play with the local. 

By the way, how did you find the performance of Colombia in the World? 

Colombia came close with Brazil. He had 60 minutes in which Brazil had to give life to beat. After an hour calling desperately for Colombia put it in a bow and demonstrated that Colombia was much more, but hey, the place is always more to get aid; after seven goals for Germany ate. I think Colombia with Germany had not eaten seven goals ever. It would have been very even. 

Did he expect Pekerman renewed as it did after World? 

I noticed that had renovated. He's not staying in many places. But then studying, I see renewed because he saw the future. One analyzes the teams on the continent and see all repaired. He must analyze that Colombia has a great future players. 

What has led you to Pekerman in Colombia? 

Many things. For example headquarters. Bogotá has a height that does not make them many nick, is not determinative, not La Paz. Barranquilla yes perspire sitting there. The public is warmer, more fervent; the Bogota is cooler, quieter, shouts "Colombia, Colombia" and now. Not beyond that of the past shows of all the heat that hath flows through the pores.

In addition, José knows the country. I think not cataloged abroad. By knowing the country can make decisions that would not take another DT. It strengthens. He is respected by the media, by people, they feel more like a Colombian and that's a plus. Any technician who came abroad and lost four games, you had happened to the 'broad brush'. A José I think not.

Were you surprised to come and run here? 

No, because I knew the place. He chooses well. It was not one economic issue that is important, but first he discussed which players had, what opportunities and what potential. When I saw all that he had, I think he made the decision to say yes, we will, and so to renew. He is very analytical, does not give the other because. Scan everything and has a very important around coaching. 

How do you see today's selection Colombia? 

The Colombian soccer has everything to be the best, the problem is that you realize. You see who can dominate the continent along with Brazil and Argentina. They have had litters and Whitewater have been wasted. It is very important the work of youth, youth build a structure not thinking about winning the South American, that's an accident, that comes alone. I think the basic forces need a more competitive rate. Argentina, for example, has a tournament of very, very strong lower, with almost 40 games a year. The federations have to make attractive championships, the boys are competitive from 12 years to achieve parts. Colombia should not lose something that Argentina is losing: you are playing well; Argentina is losing that quality. Now you have to give your football and dynamic strength. Colombia is a candidate to win the Copa America. And it will be in the next world. 

Incidentally, Pekerman insisted that was not going to take the youth of the team, you thought this was going to be one of the requirements to renew ... 

I thought so too. But I think he has all targeted and knows that this team can grow 40 to 50 percent or more and does not want to divide efforts. Take children requires much effort. 

What anecdote reminds Pekerman? 

Many, now I remember one day I gave an award in Cordoba (Argentina) and he is very distracted, was in a shoe of one color and one other, ha ha! It is a special type, very laburador, including angry you have to know well because you do not realize that you are angry. 

And you get mad easy? 

It is not easy. Or difficult. But has character, you would not believe. What happens is that you have to know. He is charismatic, you will not have problems with it, but like all angry. What happens is that demonstrates not like me, that if I get angry now throw away your recorder hehe. He ignores, not me. We are different. A trap him angry. The lack of true. What angers selfishness. I get angry that demonstrate their teams on the field. 

Why are not you working today Pekerman? 

I knew I was not going to call, it was logical, he and his coaching staff and knew I was deeply rooted in Argentina. Perhaps if he had reformed youth I had encouraged to collaborate with him but by eye, I'm not saying I want to come eh. When he came out of Colombia as he had the right to work with people that always accompanied it and I was not with him in Mexico or in Spain. Came professor URTASUN (Eduardo) who was the trainer who worked with me in Argentine selections. Pekerman at the time gave me every chance to stay with it and I decided that my world was Argentina. Today brings us mutual admiration and friendship that we have almost 30 years. We always wish him well as he should wish me the same to me. 

How is the relationship today? 

The paths have diverged, he by a path of good and the other good. I'm happy for him that has done well in Colombia. I have only appreciation of the time I worked with him, we never know if we will work, just wish she does well, except when he plays with Argentina he, he!

Tell us about Messi. You know him well because he debuts in the selection of Argentina you being 

there ... 

Yes, debuted in the Argentine court. It was June 10, 2004 Victoria 8-0 with Paraguay. Messi becomes the seventh goal and pulls the center of the fourth goal ... When we saw the video it was a different player, once a friendly plucked to make it signed with Argentina. We collaborate Player. We took it off to Spain. He was summoned to play in Spain. It was quick thinking Julio Grondona, Hugo Tocalli, bringing it to play fast. In Argentina won a different flair, a different character. 

Finally, is liked his visit to Colombia? 

Yes, it was very brief but. My previous experience was not good. I brought a Mr. Fidel (does not remember the name) who worked with the Colombian Football Federation. I brought to give talks in various cities, but he still owes me a lot of money. I still hope to meet.
