His 24 goals keep him as the second all-time top scorer for the Colombian National Team. "El Guajiro" Iguarán wrote golden pages with the national team. The emotions still remain intact in the Colombian people. The memory of his goals still makes millions of hearts vibrate.
A faithful follower and believer of the current national team, of its forwards, of the team managed by Pékerman. He trusts that against the big teams, Colombia shows its 'fighting spirit' and 'rises to the occasion'. The goal scorer's faith remains intact; he believes that a victory can redeem them and restore their status as favorites.
Copa America Chile 2015:
"So far, the Copa America has been very interesting. Very good matches and teams that are showing that they are in a very good moment. After the setback we had against Venezuela, which no one expected, the match against Brazil is crucial for Colombia because it can give us the possibility of advancing to the next round. We have to keep working regardless of what happened."
Regarding the match against Brazil:
"It's a very difficult match, against the most respected rival in South America, but when things get tough, Colombia shows its 'fighting spirit'. Furthermore, in this type of matches they play more calmly because Venezuela was a team that sat back and defended the entire time, while Brazil is a team that lets you play and that favors the national team."
How to play against Brazil?
"Head-on. We have to go out and play and attack them because those of us who have seen Brazil know that their defense can be attacked and breached. We have to be attentive at the back, very alert, because they have players who can make a difference, like Neymar. If we wait for them comfortably and well organized, we won't have many problems."
The goal of the 1991 Copa America:
"It was in Valparaiso, Chile in 1991. We beat Brazil, at the senior level, a ball that 'El Pibe', 'El Pipa' de Ávila, and I touched, at the end I shot at the goal and overcame goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel. It was truly a very beautiful goal..."
The Chile 1991 national team:
"I remember that team with René Higuita, Jaime Herrera, Luis Carlos Perea, Andrés Escobar (RIP), Diego León Osorio; Leonel Álvarez, Bernardo Redín, Fredy Rincón, Carlos Alberto Valderrama, Anthony de Ávila, and me."
What does scoring against Brazil mean?
"Something very important and joyful, because they are a world power and scoring a goal against them is something unforgettable."
How to overcome Brazil?
"We have to play with tranquility and without pressure. I believe that now is a good opportunity to redeem ourselves with our fans. We must not make mistakes because they are very strong and capitalize on any opportunity that arises."
We are great against the big teams:
"We are great against the big teams because they let us play. The smaller teams mark more, sit back, run a lot, mark the most important player, and foul a lot; so it's difficult. Whereas against a big team, we play head-on, there are more spaces and we can play."
About what he has seen in the Copa America:
"It's been quite difficult, there are teams that have improved a lot, like Bolivia, who beat Ecuador, Venezuela beating Colombia, the Uruguayans... Now, there is no verdict on who can win the Copa because the distances have shortened, it's a very close tournament. There is still no favorite. The matches have been very good. Let's think that Colombia is going to win and qualify where we all want, and that they continue to be the favorite of the tournament."
