The Colombian team shined with the monumental left foot of James Rodríguez, who scored a penalty goal at the beginning of the match and made two assists. James’ moment is wonderful. No one questions it anymore. The number ten, the historic captain, the leader of the team, has five assists in this tournament and is seen as the best player in the cup. His performance recalls the best games of the illuminated James in the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, ten years ago, when he led Colombia to the quarterfinals and was the top scorer of the tournament. In addition to Rodríguez’s goal, the tricolor defeated Panama 5-0 with goals from Jhon Córdoba, Luis Díaz, Richard Ríos and Miguel Ángel Borja.

Colombia dominated the entire match without any problems. Before twenty minutes of the first half, the tricolor was already winning 2-0. The first goal was scored by Jhon Córdoba with a header, following a corner kick by James Rodríguez. Córdoba won the starting forward position from Rafael Santos Borré. The second was a penalty by Rodríguez that was impossible for goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera. After the two goals, there were a few minutes in which the Panamanian team tried to come back, but goalkeeper Camilo Vargas prevented the goal scoring options.

Minutes later, James Rodríguez showed his talent once more. He quickly took a free kick from the middle of the field for Lucho Díaz to beat the goalkeeper and seal the 3-0. In the second half, Colombia maintained control of the game. Midfielder Richard Ríos scored a long-distance goal and Miguel Ángel Borja scored the 5-0 with a penalty in the last minute.

At the end of the match, James celebrated the victory: “A tough match, they are strong, but we started in a very good way, we knew how to score goals quickly and that gave us control of the match,” said Rodríguez. He added: “I wanted to have a very good cup, to help my teammates to go far, today we are going until the last day, we hope to reach that final that we all want,” added the Colombian captain.

Colombia’s overwhelming victory confirms the statements of Uruguay’s coach, Marcelo Bielsa, who on Saturday morning clearly assessed the quality of the Colombian team’s attack. “Colombia is a team with too many forwards and that is not common in the world of football. It is a team that has more than one option for each position, and without great differences between the one who starts and the one who comes in. All these things can be verified because they are not my opinions, they are realities,” said Bielsa in a press conference. He added: “The Colombian player has undergone a transformation because they play in the best leagues in the world and compete naturally. So to the freshness and predominantly creative football that has always distinguished the expressions of that country, now they have added what is indispensable to survive in today’s football.”

Alejandro Zendejas is getting closer to Cruz Azul; Anselmi called the player himself

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

The Liga MX has already started but its market does not stop moving and in Mexico City one of the least expected signings is being cooked up but, if it comes to fruition, it would be one of the bombshells of the summer in Mexico.

This Saturday, W DEPORTES learned that Alejandro Zendejas is increasingly closer to Cruz Azul, which had already been asking regarding him for several weeks and in recent hours has intensified its interest.

La Máquina will lose two players who play on the right flank. Rodrigo Huescas, who will go to Denmark, and Uriel Antuna, who closed his transfer to AEK in Greece. Therefore, they need quality replacements and in America there is one that they like a lot.

The Mexican-American still has a contract in Coapa, so if the Azul wants to take him, they will have to pay at least 8 million dollars, or a little more, as André Jardine said in a press conference on Friday:

“If someone wants to take players from this team that has won many things and reached a high level, they will have to come with a very good offer.”

Carlos Salas, our digital coordinator, posted this morning on his Twitter account that Cruz Azul had offered Erik Lira to lower the cost of Zendejas a little, but the Eagles were not interested, although there is a name in La Noria that the Amarillo team does like and that is Gonzalo Piovi, who Ame had already asked Racing regarding before he arrived in Mexico.

MARTIN ANSELMI CALLED ZENDEJAS HIMSELF

Cruz Azul is so interested in signing Alejandro Zendejas that Martímido Anselmi himself called the player to find out his position, to let him know regarding his project and how he would fit in. For now, nothing has been finalized, but La Máquina is confident that the signing can be closed.
