Ahead of the World Cup, Sporting star unhappy: We must be self-critical | OneFootball

After losing on Thursday, March 26, to Croatia (2-1), Luis Suárez's Colombia suffered another defeat, this time to France (3-1), in another friendly in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

Speaking in the mixed zone at Northwest Stadium, the Sporting forward - who was taken off at half-time - did not hide his disappointment at another negative result during the March international break, stressing the need for the 'Cafeteros' to do some "soul-searching".

"We have to take a hard look at ourselves, understand where we are failing, what is missing, and improve; we are at a very important stage and, fortunately, we still have time to correct those small details," he began by saying, as quoted by the Colombian edition of newspaper 'AS'.

In conclusion, despite the recent defeats, the Lions' number 97 said: "We approach it with the same desire, the same determination to step onto the pitch and win. They are different matches; it is true they have been different games, we prepared for them differently, maybe we did not find the path to victory in either one, but anyway, now the most important moment is approaching."

It should be noted that Colombia are in Group K of the 2026 World Cup, along with Portugal, Uzbekistan and the winner of the play-off between Jamaica and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is scheduled for this Tuesday, March 31, at 10:00 pm.
