The Colombian, nominated for the best player in America in 2020, is asking for a clue in the national team. With goals, the striker makes a space in the book of coach Reinaldo Rueda. On Thursday, Barranquilla scored the first goal in River’s 5-0 victory against Racing, winning the Argentine Super Cup. The Gunner adds another title in River with “Muñeco” Gallardo: 2 Cups, 2 Super Cups, a Cup Winning Cup and a Copa Libertadores.
Collective titles with River Plate are not his only cover letter, in 2020 he became Argentina’s Super League scorer, in addition to forming the ideal 11 of America and the Copa Libertadores.
Recently, the River star said for the Radial Caracol network: “as a player, someone is always happy to be in the national team. I have been in River for four years, giving my all to reach the national team. Currently, what strikes me the most is being able to be in the Colombian national team … You always want to play and it will depend on what the teacher (Rueda) is looking for ”.
The Colombian striker knows that the competition is tough. To win a place at the head of the national team means to compete against some impressive numbers, those of Falcao, those of Duván Zapata, Luis Fernando Muriel, Luis Díaz, among others; But the 25-year-old knows that the average goal in recent years is his lethal weapon: in 2019 he played 36 games and scored 18 goals, in 2020 he played 14 games and scored 6 goals, in this 2021 he played only 5 games and accumulates 2 goals.
Santos Borré has already made his debut with the national team, two friendlies played in the United States in 2019 allowed him to wear the Colombian jersey, but in 2020, in the first dates of the qualifying round for the World Cup in Qatar, the striker caught Covid may not have been considered by the coach at the time (Queiroz).
Borré scored on Thursday, with 31 minutes, with a strong header in the corner, a goal with which River opened the account to win the Super Cup.
After the title, the Colombian hopes that this header will catapult him into the list of elected in the next call by Professor Reinaldo Rueda.
