I always wanted to see Montero or Rodallega(when he started at Wigan not now) play a Ramos/Ibarbo type role on the NT. I think both these guys score a bunch of goals but they are just too inconsistent and their finishing just isn't good enough to be a CF. I could see Montero in the role they gave Quintero at the WC. Tho think Montero needs to go to a smaller club so he can get more minutes.
I hope that he can represent us at the Olympics. This is a hungry player who could do wonders for us.
The Olympics would be a cool way for him to integrate back into the National team. However there's a lot of Sub23 strikers who have potential to be really good. Not to mention Restrepo can screw things up and not qualify.
Hungry is not a word I would use to describe Montero. I've always liked him. When he was with Cali I thought he would become Colombia's main guy one day. The dude is just SO horribly inconsistent. He has 3 goals this season. Perhaps he's about to enter into his yearly streak, perhaps he isn't. Preciado, Borre, and Martinez are all u-23 and in good form. Striker is not a position I would expend an overage slot on. Yet I get the feeling Falcao may end up starting. Either way, the team must qualify first. No overage player can play the qualifier.
That's only if you include cup matches. Two of those other three came in matches where Sporting scored 4 or more goals. Against Lokomotiv and some Albanian team...
El tipo en verdad le fue bien en los dos años y medio que estuvo en europa. 40 goles aproximadamente. Le dio el titulo de copa a sporting, pero bueno si yo no tengo nivel de selección tambien me pongo a recorrer el mundo con mi esposa gringa
Montero has gone to China to play with Tianjin Teda Montero will join Tianjin Teda. Thanks for everything, @_fredymontero! #LetsGoLions pic.twitter.com/ykomLEvTjF— Sporting CP English (@SportingCP_en) February 1, 2016
Yo lo unico que se es que se estan haciendo muchos esfuerzos allá no solo por llevar buenos jugadores, sino también para mejorar la infraestructura en los equipos y apoyándose en personal extranjero para que sus jugadores tengan un entrenamiento de verdad, con personal de experiencia, los equipos no tienen a mas de 7 jugadores extranjeros por plantilla, lo que quiere decir que se le esta intentando dar prioridad al talento local, así que me parece cuestión de tiempo antes de que salga algún jugador excepcional de ese país, yo creí que podia ser Xu Xin, que estaba en las inferiores del Atletico de Madrid, pero volvió para jugar en el Guangzhou Evergrande.
El mundo no ha empezado a ver futbol gringo, menos va a mirar futbol chino y menos a punta de fredys montero y guarins
