Colombia Confident Despite Falcao Absence Ahead of Greece Clash
Colombia enters their Group C game against Greece on Saturday at 4 p.m. UTC in Belo Horizonte with determination and confidence, even without star striker Radamel Falcao.
Coach José Pekerman praised Greece as “an aggressive team, with players who know each other and play well together. They have a strong identity.”
Despite Falcao’s knee injury ruling him out, Colombia will rely on Monaco’s James Rodriguez and Porto’s Jackson Martinez to lead the attack. However, defensive concerns remain with veteran captain Mario Yepes, 38, anchoring the backline.
Colombia knows a win is essential to keep their hopes alive of advancing from a tightly contested group.
