Rodríguez: Captaining Colombia 'a dream'

Sunday, November 16 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Reaction after Colombia come from behind to defeat the USA in a friendly in London, England.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) James Rodriguez, Colombia forward (Q. How do you feel as captain?)

    "I am proud to captain Colombia. I am happy because it's a dream. I always dreamed of this and I hope I can wear the armband many times."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jurgen Klinsmann, USA manager (On Jozy Altidore)

    "I think this is the way that he has consistently playing with us. I saw him also with Sunderland. I was there last season. I know about his difficult situation with his club team. But all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and he solves it and scores goals. He convinces the coach to start him."

    SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Carlos Bacca, Colombia forward

    "Yes, it's difficult when you go behind. But Colombia has the mental strength to come back and improve every day. It was a game which we were made to work hard. We were losing but the team managed to cope, to dig in and in the end secure the victory."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jurgen Klinsmann, USA manager (On conceding late goals)

    "I don't know if you can resolve that in 90 minute training sessions. We wait for the last five. Maybe you don't tell Ireland (USA's next opponents) that we have conceded too many goals in the last couple of minutes... it comes down to many reasons. We had many players struggling after the World Cup to get back into shape -- especially European players. We had quite a few European players losing their starting spots. RIght now, they are on their way getting them back, but it took quite a long time because they came late to the pre-season.
