Argentina vs Colombia Preview
Argentina ran its winning streak to four at the Copa America with a dominant 3-0 victory against Ecuador. Lionel Messi led the way, notching a goal and two assists.
“We have to take it easy, think about Colombia now, they are a tough team with players who are great, experienced, very quick up front, good defenders and fast counterattackers,” Messi said after the game. “We hope to go step-by-step … and be at this final we crave for.”
Messi is trying to lead Argentina to their first Copa America title since 1993. His manager Lionel Scaloni is enjoying watch Messi and what he brings to the table.
“This is the best player ever we are talking about,” Scaloni said. “The best that can happen to us soccer lovers is that he plays until … until the age he can do it, and we enjoy it. Nothing else. Even adversaries enjoy it when he plays.”
It would be his first major trophy with Argentina, something that he desperately wants to add to his legendary resume.
“I’ve always said that individual prizes are secondary. We’re here for something else,” he said. “We have an objective and we’re focused on that.”
Colombia has managed to make it this far by squeaking by. The team went 1-2-1 in group play before beating Uruguay on penalties to advance to the semifinal.
“We played a very collective game against Uruguay, with a lot of solidarity and the right balance,” Colombia manager Reinaldo Rueda said. “All this helps us believe that we can continue with our improvements. … We will continue to demand more and more from ourselves in each session before the next game.”
Goalkeeper David Ospina was the hero for Colombia against Uruguay, saving a pair of penalty kicks.
“We knew David would be decisive and that we had to score to stay in the tournament,” said Colombian coach Reinaldo Rueda. “David has always been a leader. He’s very cerebral when it comes to penalties. That’s a big help to our team.”
Argentina has the slight edge over the last five matchups, going 2-1-2 against Colombia dating back to 2015.
