Sagredo will be the one who played the most with La Verde in the qualifying round.

 The player played in the last 16 rounds and is one of the key players to be present against Colombia and Brazil, at the end of the qualifiers.

José Sagredo will finish the qualifying campaign for Qatar as the player who played the most games for the Bolivian national team in the tournament that is about to conclude. If the defender is included in the starting lineup against Colombia, he will reach 17 games, an unreachable figure for the rest of his teammates.

The absence of goalkeeper Carlos Lampe and the forced absence of striker Marcelo Martins against the Cafeteros make Sagredo the "infallible" in the call-ups of coach César Farías due to his presence in the starting team in the 16 dates that have already been played up to last February.

According to records, Sagredo started 12 matches and was substituted four times. Until the last match played against Chile, Sagredo accumulated 1,162 minutes in total.

The player from Santa Cruz started the qualifiers as a left back (2020), when he played for The Strongest, but DT Farias changed the system and put him as a stopper in the line of three that became usual in La Verde. Sagredo's regular performance in that position meant that, first at El Tigre and currently at Bolívar, he has maintained that position.

Lampe and Martins

The other players who had the most appearances in this competition were Carlos Lampe with 16 games played and 1,440 minutes, as he was never substituted; but the penalty for the goalkeeper is that he was not taken into account for this last double date of the qualifying round and will remain with that record.

The third place went to Marcelo Martins with 15 appearances and 1,316 minutes accumulated. The striker will not play against Colombia due to the accumulation of yellow cards, but he will play against Brazil, which will bring his total to 16 games.

The player who played the least minutes in these qualifiers was John García with only three minutes played in Bolivia's 3-0 defeat against Ecuador on the eleventh matchday. Garcia is currently called up to the national team and can improve his record.

Practice

La Verde trained yesterday afternoon at the Villa el Sol complex in the town of Ananta, behind closed doors. Henry Vaca aims to be the only attacker that will have on Thursday against Colombia, in Barranquilla (19:30). The rest of the team would go with Guillermo Viscarra, in goal, the line of three would be formed by José María Carrasco, Luis Haquín and José Sagredo.  Marc Enoumba and Roberto Fernández would play on the wings, Moisés Villarroel and Richard Spenhay in the middle, Ronaldo Sánchez and César Menacho further forward, while Vaca will be the only striker.

The national delegation is scheduled to travel to the venue tomorrow. On Wednesday, the last training session will be held there and the return of La Verde is scheduled for Friday.
