On the last date of the qualifiers, Colombia will visit Venezuela in search of the playoffs, but José Pékerman has just revealed what he feared so much.
For the first time in more than ten years, the Colombian National Team is hanging by a thread in its fight to qualify for a World Cup. So much so, that not even winning tonight can secure a ticket to the intercontinental playoff.
Knowing that it does not depend on itself, the Tricolor will try to keep the three points and then will have to wait to see what happens with Peru, which in this case should not be victorious against Paraguay.
While the coffee team prepares for the match, on the rival side they know that they will have a great opportunity to ruin their plans, especially since José Pékerman knows his opponents better than anyone else.
The new coach of the Vinotinto had an extensive past in Colombia and today he will have to be on the other side. For this reason, he has the weapon of knowledge to try to attack the weak points.
In the pre-game, the DT confirmed the worst news for the Tri. It is that, being a duel with a lot of rivalry for being neighbors, the stadium will be full and absolutely all the tickets have been sold.
In turn, unofficially it is said that the president of the nation himself, Nicolás Maduro, could award a prize to the players in case they win and leave those led by Reinaldo Rueda without a World Cup.
