The coffee footballer did not hide his sadness at what happened to his team in the qualifying process.

Juan Guillermo Cuadrado regretted that Colombia was left out of Qatar 2022

 

Colombian Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, a Juventus player from Italy, assured this Thursday, after not qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the coffee team, that this was his "last chance" to play the World Cup.

“No one but us, as a family, knows the sadness (we feel); and more when thinking that it was the last chance for me. But even in the midst of it (sadness) we must get up and move on, ”the 33-year-old player expressed in an Instagram story, thus leaving his continuity with the Andean team in doubt.

Colombia said goodbye to the dream of qualifying for the World Cup on Tuesday, despite defeating Venezuela 0-1 as a visitor on the last day of qualifying.

Those led by Reinaldo Rueda needed to beat Vinotinto to win the playoff spot, an instance that Peru reached, which will play the playoff against a team from Asia.

In this line, Cuadrado recorded that Colombia played the World Cups in Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018, which meant the country's return to the cup after 16 years of absence, something that the Juventus player considers as a "reason to thank".

The Colombian players lament after failing to qualify for the Qatar 2022 playoffs.

 

The World Cup will be in Canada, Mexico and the next United States in 2026, and a coffee restructuring is supposed to begin in order to qualify under the leadership of players like Luis Díaz, Carlos Cuesta or Luis Sinisterra, who will take the witness left by references like James Rodríguez, Falcao García, Cuadrado or David Ospina.

If Cuadrado gets to play the 2026 World Cup, he will do so at the age of 38.

On the other hand, James regretted on Wednesday that Colombia had not been able to qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, while questioning his continuity with the national team.

“I don't know if he's coming for the next processes, I don't know if he's here or not. What I do know is that it breaks my soul to lose, it makes me uncomfortable not being classified and this cannot happen again, ”wrote the player, who currently defends the colors of Al Rayyan.
