Colombian Omar Fernández, the wing from Puebla, assured on Thursday that the game in Mexican football has marginalized him since appearing in the calls of his country’s team. “The Colombian national team is a complicated problem, most of the players who are there play in Europe, in my position there is a lot of competition. If I want to reach the national team, I have to do the double thing I do now,” he explained to a Press conference.
Fernández, the second player with the most assists in the MX League in the regular phase of the last tournament, stated that at the age of 27 he maintains his illusion of making his debut in the Colombian national team. “I don’t rule out playing for the national team in the future, it would be best for me. I was already in the U-20, but it’s an illusion I have, my children are the ones who ask me the most to be there,” he added.
The South American striker is living his third year with the Puebla shirt, a team in which he has established himself as one of the main elements of the crime. “The years go by and I keep winning a starting position, wherever I go, I give everything I can, I work to improve every day for Puebla, at the moment I don’t think about leaving the team,” he said.
Fernández recalled the tournaments in Puebla in which he was led by the Peruvian Juan Reynoso, the current coach of Cruz Azul, whom he described as a friend. “Professor Juan is an important person not only for me, but for my whole family. I have known him since I was 20, he is the person who gave me the opportunity to leave Colombia for Peru and Mexico, I am grateful to him and my way of working. his satisfaction has always been good on the pitch “, said the attacking midfielder.
Fernández and Puebla, led by Argentine Nicolás Larcamón, are preparing to visit America on Saturday at the Azteca Stadium, the fifth match of the 2021 Closing Ceremony of Mexican football. “The team is motivated, we want to go to Azteca to get three more points.
The group is mentally strong for America, which we expect at its best. In order to defeat them, we need to improve our strength, “he concluded.
