On August 22, 2023, the Argentine newspaper La Nación published a striking interview starring ‘El Pibe’ Valderrama. In this they asked him who is the best Colombian player today. Without hesitation, ‘El Pibe’ gave two names that, for him, are the best representatives of Colombian soccer in the world. Luis Díaz and Juan Guillermo Cuadrado were chosen by the historic former player.
“Now there are two, two… There is Lucho Díaz, who is one of the new ones, but there is also Cuadrado, who is from the previous generation, but is still valid. He is in shape…, we have both generations: Cuadrado, from the veterans, and from the new ones, Lucho Díaz”, Carlos Valderrama
What did ‘El Pibe’ say about the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers?
In the same interview, ‘El Pibe’ Valderrama spoke about the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. He began by pointing out that he supports the project led by Néstor Lorenzo in the Colombian National Team.
“I see Lorenzo well, we are confident because he knows the Colombian environment, he knows the players. I think his appointment was a success. So far the team is doing well, there has been a renovation, the new guys are responding and we can see it: eight friendly games have gone by, with different line-ups and the team has worked, it is undefeated, it plays well”, Carlos Valderrama
To conclude, ‘El Pibe’ made it clear that now is the moment of truth for Lorenzo, since, until now, he has only played friendly matches.
“But as we all say: now comes the moment of truth. We are enthusiastic and I am optimistic that the team will return to the world championship”, Carlos Valderrama
