“We always want to be there playing, no matter how old we are, soccer is our passion and we like to be on the pitch, we forget everything there and we are happy.” This is how Óscar Córdoba, the exporter of the Colombian national team, referred to, one of the members of the Glorias del Fútbol Colombiano team, which yesterday faced Glorias del Fútbol Bolivarense, in a match held at the Jaime Morón León stadium.
Regarding the future of the Colombian team, which is now led by Néstor Lorenzo, Córdoba added: “What we have is talent in Colombia, if the teacher puts those who are currently performing best on the field, we will have no problem qualifying for the next world. You don’t live from the past, from putting on players who once shone and not now because if that’s the case they would have to summon Kid Valderrama. If he calls those who are, a great team comes out, ”said the former Boca Juniors goalkeeper, the team with which he won the Copa Libertadores de América and the Intercontinental Cup.

setting an example
Jorge Bermúdez, another of the members of the Glories of Colombian Soccer, assured that one of the most important things that soccer leaves is that it teaches you to be a good person.
“Football gives you beautiful things, but the important thing is not fame but values, the sense of solidarity, camaraderie, to help the opponent. We, those of that time, love and admire each other very much as a person. Still, after many years outside of competitive soccer, we come together to reminisce about old times. Football is a sport that helps us integrate and set a good example for society”.
Alex Anaya, from the Glorias del Fútbol Bolívarense, added that: “It will always be a pleasure to play on behalf of Cartagena and Bolívar, they spent many years defending the colors of Real Cartagena, now return to a special game, which gives us recognition, Seeing all this cool atmosphere in the stands makes my heart very happy ”.
On the pitch, the players gave their all to put on a good show. The result did not matter for the public, but it did for them, who were highly competitive and always live with that fire in their hearts and the desire to succeed in a soccer match, regardless of whether it is a friendly game.
