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.
