Former Colombia coach Jorge Luis Pinto has delivered a sharp critique of Néstor Lorenzo’s national team call-up, saying local-league footballers are being overlooked.
Harsh words on the squad
Pinto, an experienced figure in Colombian football who was a 2014 World Cup coach, expressed frustration that players from the domestic league are being undervalued when the national team is picked. His comments were blunt and have stirred debate about how the selection process is handled.
The remarks come as Lorenzo continues to shape the Colombia squad, and they highlight a long-running argument in Colombian football about whether players based at home receive a fair chance alongside those competing abroad.
