Porto receive disciplinary warning after Rangers complaint
Portugal has become a regular destination for Colombian players, from the most prestigious to the most unknown, and FC Porto has become a breeding ground for the most famous, creating a tradition of success and collective golden pages for the club. Guarin jokingly regrets that he did not see compatriots in the dragons, but saw two shining ones in the capital’s rivals.
“I hope that this brand will come back, there is a mutual identification. All Colombians really want Porto. Seeing Rios at Benfica, who is an ace, and Luis Suarez at Sporting, who had an outstanding season, we feel that we are missing our representative at Porto. A Colombian there is a must every year. Colombia is a big fan of Porto because of our history, it is one of the most talked about in Europe clubs here,” he admitted in an interview with O. JOGO.
James and Cristiano Ronaldo’s last World Cup
Paying attention to the World Cup, trusting the great image of Colombia, Guarin is seduced by the intersection of Miami with Portugal. “It will be a very special game, I’m ready to take part in it. It will be crazy all over Colombia. For me, Portugal has a special brand, I have a Portuguese daughter. It will be wonderful and it will probably be the last World Cup for Ronaldo and James. They are two very strong teams, but Portugal have some impressive personalities. I really like the Paris SG academy. Colombia has achieved important things and their players are playing at a great level. They are going to go far.” World Cup,” he feels, adding to James’ likely influence. “He will look good, he hasn’t had much continuity, but mentally he is strong and is preparing to perform at the best level,” he assesses.
