Lorenzo direct about Jhon Durán: “He is not at his best”

The Colombia National Team and prepares for the friendlies against New Zealand and Australia, before these friendly matches the coach spoke Nestor Lorenzowho, among other things, was asked about the non-call of John Duran.

The importance of this double FIFA date

“The possibility of competing always makes us see the spectrum of some players who have had fewer minutes, it is always good, but in no way is the group closing or drawing definitive conclusions because the World Cup is still a long way off. The idea is to establish ourselves in the game and give minutes to guys who have played less.”

James’ situation after his departure from León

“James’ thing is a bit emotional, the anxiety he may have to get a club, but we know that when he gets here he needs to play and makes himself available to the entire group, so he will play the minutes we consider, the games are very close together, we have little recovery, so we will try to dose the loads so that the players do not suffer.”

The Jhon Durán case

“As all the players called up or blocked are being followed week by week, game by game, he has played very little, and yes, he came on and scored a goal, but he played fifteen minutes, twenty, a while. He has not yet had the continuity that he needs to compete again here in the National Team, he is on the spectrum, but he is not in his best moment I would say with his club changes and with the injuries, he is a player who has a future.”
