JOSÉ PÉKERMAN
At the helm since 2012, the Argentine has led the Cafeteros to the qualification for two consecutive World Cups, a first since the 90s. In charge of the Albiceleste during Germany 2006, he led Colombia in 2014. He has Elsewhere, he has won three FIFA U-20 World Cups with Argentina.
THE STAR
JAMES RODRIGUEZ
The 2014 adidas Golden Boot of Brazil will certainly do everything to put his name on the notice board in Russia. Currently on loan to Bayern Munich, Cafetero have won two FIFA Club World Cups with Real Madrid.
I think the presence of their star player, Rodriguez, will help the Colombia team to put in their best. I'm looking up to seeing their performances enhanced by the presence of their star.
Yes but this kind of teams don't depend on a single star, if you remember the last WC everybody was talking about Falcao but the surprise was James.
Absolutely right!
Yep. You are right
