Akrapovic Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 In the stands of the stadiums where the tricolor team has played in this Copa América of Brazil 2019 has been Thiago, his biggest motivation. His steps are becoming more firm, he does not like to be lifted and prefers to walk on his own. If he has a ball in front he kicks it. He knows how to do it with the left and the right, because since he learned to walk, his dad throws the ball to him so that he finishes it with both feet. How football player Thiago Arias will not be if with a little more than two months old he was already going to football stadiums. How will not love this sport if with less than two years of life has seen the selection of Colombia in the World Cup in Russia 2018 and the Copa América in Brazil 2019. In the western gallery of the Arena Fonte Nova stadium in Salvador de Bahia, in the game that the tricolor team beat Paraguay 1-0, he was thrilled to see his father, Santiago, as the team's owner in this tournament for the first time. "Dad, dad," he would say with a tongue that has been letting go so far. He was wearing the yellow shirt of the team marked with his name and the number 4, the same one that has identified his father in the last years of his career. He was dressed just like Karin Jiménez, his mother, the other fundamental person in the life of the right-back of the national team who, in dialogue with El Espectador, acknowledged that "they are my greatest support and motivation. What I want most is for Thiago to feel proud of me and that's why on the court I try to give myself to the maximum and do things in the best possible way. I know that now, because he is very small, he does not understand everything, but later he is sure to give a lot of value to this. He went to Russia 2018, but I think for the first time he is enjoying a tournament of this kind, here in the Brazilian Cup. "
