Christian Bolanos: “The national team is dealt with by people who don’t appreciate it”

Christian Bolaños returned to play with Saprissa after his sudden call-up to the national team and he did so to be decisive, scoring the only goal for his team that led to a 1-1 draw against the municipality of Grecia. But the footballer spoke a little about the national championship and rather analyzed the difficult moment for Costa Rica on its way to Qatar 2022.

And in extended statements to Radio Colombia, the attacker made direct and even controversial phrases, without mincing words, as is usually the case with his style. To confirm tricolor It is run like a grocery store and there are “people” who don’t appreciate it.

He also doesn’t accept invitations, especially when he sees players who aren’t making an effort.

“You have to see who sweats his shirt, who deserves to be, does not call to call. Today they call to call and we see the consequences, it is not fair that they snatch the national team and see it as a live team, some players have had to put in a lot of effort and the national team is fumbling before people you don’t appreciate,” he said.

He also referred to rumors of a split in the dressing room or problems between players. Brian Ruiz himself has come out to deny his alleged hatred for Keylor Navas and describe her as gossip.

“There have always been these situations (rumours), but it bothers me that they make such great stories. We don’t play or play on the field, but I think sometimes it’s not worth it, we play in Khartoum ourselves and we know the path the national team took in these. The three years.”

His points were also directed towards the people who make the decisions.

“It pains me that it is run like a grocery store (the national team), because technical changes are made as if it were to change a product and today those who suffer from this are the players who have their share of responsibility, but also the fault is with others.”

Bolanos is critical of the performances on the field and considers the November 12 match against Canada crucial, the strongest team in the region, by his standards. Since it was the standings table at the moment, that duel would say if it was possible to continue thinking about the world table.

“The table is very combative, we know that two teams would have set the rhythm, this is happening as usual, Costa Rica has the possibility to continue fighting, you have to risk your life, everyone has to be smarter, players, coaching staff, federation, because if you lose the game against Canada, we We say goodbye to the World Cup.”

Christian Bolaños was not considered by coach Luis Fernando Suarez, but he won a field before traveling to the United States, as did veteran Alvaro Saborio. Both entered the list due to the loss of Joel Campbell and Jose Guillermo Ortiz.

And although the call came in this way of “running”, he believes that he deserves it as a reward for his work: “I tried to get as much as possible,” he commented on the five minutes played against the American team. .
