“It’s not that they don’t want to be called up. Many times it’s what you prioritize. That’s where the decision came from, but in the end, all the players who are in a good moment, Whether we call them or not, they are on our agendabut we don’t know when the space opens for when they can come,” clarified the Colombian.
“Néstor’s most difficult task is being able to choose. Because of the different criteria that we have, many times you will be unfair. It’s life, you have to choose,”
