While the appointment of Reinaldo Rueda as DT of the Colombian national team was announced, the speaker was coach Hernán Darío “Bolillo” Gómez, a former national team coach who now commands Independiente Medellín.
Bolillo praised Rueda and assured that it is the best option for the Colombian team, after the departure of Carlos Queiroz.

Bolillo also spoke about the defeats suffered in the double round, expressing his “pain” for the nine goals the team scored against Ecuador and Uruguay.
“I said inside with those nine goals in two games, it can’t be. Ecuador’s 6-1 for me was like when Diego Maradona died. For those of us who love football, like a family member died, that defeat hurt me inside, “he concluded.
