Colombia dazzled in a America’s Cupwhich Argentina ultimately won. The Colombian team was highly praised during the tournament, but not everything that glittered was gold, according to some media. Apparently there was an internal war and it was caused by the former Barcelona player Yerri Mina.
The centre-back allegedly had a bad attitude that unleashed the fury of the coach, Néstor Lorenzo, which could cost him dearly in the national team’s next matches (September), since there is even talk of a new name on the list of those called up who would replace him for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The program ‘En la Jugada’ on RCN Radio was the one in charge of uncovering what supposedly happened behind closed doors. Apparently, the Argentine coach was dissatisfied with the defender due to the player’s “injuries, performance and behavior.” Mina assumed that he would be a starter, but Lorenzo brought in Lucumí and Carlos Cuesta before him.

“The Colombian national team’s coaching staff did not take Yerry Mina’s attitude well, because he thought he was coming to be a starter in the Copa America and ended up being the fourth centre-back. They feel that he could have given a little more, the work could have been greater,” they said. The news has had a lot of echo on social networks, where it has sparked all kinds of comments, but so far neither the footballer nor the coach have spoken about this issue.
