Udinese que horrible....creo que estar en un equipo sin proyecto deportivo a los jugadores los desorienta..... Ojala Huesca u otro equipo de españa- Frente al llamado a la selección se me hace innecesario...En su momento le llegara el llamado, ahora eso solo lo puedo distraer o "crecerse"
Exactly, give the kid a taste and bring him in to train with James/Falcao etc. Great players adapt and grow with their surroundings, certain talents need that atmosphere to reach their peak and rewarding him pushes him and others as well, let the older guys see the young generation that will be coming for their spot. If he was just a goal scorer it wouldn't work, but he is polyfunctional and has a wide skillset that adapts well as a young player to higher levels. Also the pre World Cup camp is different then any other camp because you have more time to train and work with players then any other international camp. Its why before 2014 you saw new players that weren't involved brought in and a new formation and system used, you have the time to get players used to each other and get a really long look at people. If he doesn't make the team would be expected but the extended evaluation would provide the basis for a decision on bringing him into the fold in 2019.
Llamar a esta edad "polifuncional" a un jugador es problematico y lo ideal es que deje de serlo....simplemente lo estan buscando posición y lo estan tratando de introducir al equipo por su talento sin prescindir de alguien del equipo realmente importante ....en las msima esta el argentino ezequiel avila que jugaba en san lorenzo A esa edad juegan en varias posiciones por que los tratan de encontrar su posición ideal.........Falcao en river era segunda punta de Abreu, alternba bandas con alexis.....Guarin en su momento fue probado de volante neto de contención. cuadrado alternaba de lateral a delantero...............mbappe todavia esta en eso, y griezmann hace 4 años ...hoy no se duda que es delantero y ya. Que sea skillsett y muchos recursos, no lo hace versatil per se..... Los jugadores que siguen siendo "polifuncionales" y versatiles en posiciones similares........son los que no temrinan de ser realmente buenos para una posición determinada. Estilo: Muriel, Juan Jo Narvaez, dorlan, aviles........... Ojala para los 24 , El Cucho sea todo un delantero, extremo o enganche pero que no sea de todo por que es un mal sintoma...
He will probably be a Striker or a right winger, nothing more or nothing less, he isn't a defensive player, even if he has big balls and is excellent at pressing. I don't see what's the problem of calling him at this age. That is a very Bolillesca attitude and the reason why James debuted at 20 and not 18, when he had been playing very well already. Let's just hope he doesn't get injured anymore.
Para nada me extraña cuando tu eres el que primero se molesta cuando hacen compraciones con juveniles de media panela con James. James a los 17 era el campeon mas joven de argentina y demas.......ademas bla bla......Cuchoa los 17 no la olio en america (culpa de hernan torres eso estoy seguro) Yo no veo por que llamarlo al la lista pre mundial..........solo seria un manoseo, por que no debutaria.....para el aprtido con egipto ya habra una lista defenitiva.... Para mi es culoprontismo.....hay un proceso que empieza en 6 meses con los primeros amistoso..........y lo ideal es empezarlo con ese core de jugadores....ojala cuando ya este en primera
Torres incluso banqueaba a Lucumí que estaba mas "hecho". Aun asi anotó varios goles en 3 ratos que jugó. Aun asi y con tus argumentos sigo pensando que Cucho se merece esa mención entre la lista preliminar. Desde hace rato que no veo a uno como Cucho. Y no es como que tengamos jugadores de banda para tirar pal techo.
Al cucho lo alinearon solo 5 partidos de inicialista........ Lucumi era fijo y por eso embaucaron a nacional a final de esa temporada. Otro dt lo hubiera explotado mejor........hubiera sido bueno que se le hubieran prestado a russo esos 6 meses y no a america.
He is better then Gio Moreno I want to see him get a shot but the time for that was against China. Only spots that I can see someone squeezing into the final list barring injury is a new GK, RB and Striker if someone is tearing up a league. Only Falcao is a consistent goal scorer.
Injuries always happen leading up to a World Cup, so you need and want a wide pool to get a look in case someone goes down. For example, Cucho seems like a lot of similarities to Muriel, also he'd fit a perfect profile to play alongside Falcao, either way give him a look and if by some chance he flourishes and there is an injury or he beats someone out then give it a go. These types of stories happen all the time at world cups, the tournament is so important you see great players born when they are determined to get there. Anybody who can watch this video and doesn't think this kid deserves a chance to at least get called into camp is crazy imo, especially considering he can play across every attacking position. The kid is a complete player at 18, I don't know what happened when he was in his teens prior but its all come together over the last year, he's powerful, can dribble, plays with amazing intensity, and is a team player going for the pass and playing people in rather then being a one trick pony and is a very good finisher. This kid is going to take us to the promise land eventually and the quicker we get him going with James the better. It's not a surprise he's linked with Barca, he's very similar to a young Suarez except he's a bit faster then he was. Ousmane Dembele, was playing for the reserve team at Rennes 3 seasons ago and stepped up and thrived at every level when he was given a chance. Mbappe last year wasn't barely even playing for Monaco until the middle of the season last year and is now a star at PSG and was France's best player against us. We all know James story. These guys are all versatile young players that got better and better and thrived with each step up, when you see the talent even if its at a lower level you need to make exceptions and throw them in the fire. Many people didn't want Sanchez and Mina to start together but when given the chance they've never looked out of place the higher and higher they go. Especially with attacking talents in their teens their development can take massive leaps in a year, by next year or even the summer Cucho could really take off, those type of talents are not linear in their development, they are like a sponge.
Please thuis guy is amazing.... Youtube already have more than 10 years..............and the reference of some fifa fans are still "scout videos" ..............watch MATCHES and maybe you stop to say "lies" like Cardona was used as central mdifielder before or "zapata has 24 and hisn numbers are ghreat for that age" ..... "versatile" he can play in fifa in a lot of postions Cucho is great i have watched him since pereira in serie b........but "youtube videos " to make judgements of a player havent heard since 2007..... Ps: James story is quite different he have been always in good positions according to his age......always ................yeah dembele, mbappe names perfect exmaples of fifa fans..
Also Cucho has been captain of his teams at young ages and has been praised for his leadership qualities, those are the type of players at 18 that can shoulder big jumps and handle the pressure with maturity.
Hope he continues to develop. I would love if we have 23 players better then Falcao and James by next year
You're trippin'. I see a couple of prospects but not sure if they'll be good enough to be on the team within a year, let alone be better than them.
Yeah "if you watch this youtube video of a player with his best highlight and dont" bla bla ...... is like some here watch football other play fifa. watch youtube highlights and make false statements
I mean who in their right mind thought Jesion Murillo not injured wouldn’t make the WC. It can happen. I mean Falcao because of age but could you imagine if we could develop 4-6 MFs better then James by next WC? We did make 2 CBS way better then Jeison and 2 that the coach just likes better haha
Maaaybe. And that's gonna be tough. Maybe in center midfielder position, but to be completely honest with you, I've only seen three guys that could reach a level similar to Cuadrado, not James. Still looking for him tho. Cucho is the u-20 top talent we have, then there are guys like Jhon Arteaga and Peñaloza that are wonderful, but that still haven't played a single game professionally.
This is true. @crzdcolombian the true is that defenses arent like super excited.....for years we had the best central with cordoba and yepes of the contienent and werent guarantee of success. @Baal88 1. what do you expect of they guy that estudiantes bought from nacional...? 2. What happend with the guys of rayo, bolaños, the play maker....? the guys that were in the youth team of atletico... the guy from monteria that spain wanted in their nt...
Bolaños an Arango are still there, still playing. Bolaños has 9 goals and Arango has been rotating lately after the winter Transfer market. Still have high hopes for them but more long term, at least a couple more years. Arteaga is an attacking midfielder, he Isn't tall but has a lot of ability and scores regularly. He is similar to Cucho in general characteristics, but since he hasn't played professionally I can't make a real evaluation of him. Many players look like Monsters In their category, but once they Face pro's Who know what they're doing things get too real. Solano is playing regularly for Atlético B. The other two are no longer part of Atlético. Don't know Who is the other kid you mentioned.
This guy reminds me of a young Figo. Not in looks, of course. But in the way that he moves and runs and his passes. Granted, I've only seen a few videos of him and never a full match. But by that's who he reminded me of.
Everybody were excited about Marlos, Borre and Roger. None of them have made it. It's hard to predict who's going to be a star. Hopefully this Hernandez guy keeps developing. Then there are examples of young players that nobody expected nothing from but suprised everyone later in theri career.
