Under the coach, who took over the team in June 2022, Colombia is unbeaten in 28 matches and is advancing to its second Copa América final in history. The last time was in 2001, when it beat Mexico and lifted its only continental trophy.
“We know what is happening and this generates a lot of satisfaction. We know that this is the best reward this group can have,” added Néstor Lorenzo.
The Colombians qualified first in Group D, leaving Brazil in second place. Before beating Uruguay, they defeated Panama with a 5-0 rout. Now, they will face Argentina in the grand final, which is scheduled for next Sunday, at 9 pm (Brasília time), at the Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami (Florida).
