Copa America 2024: Colombia coach Lorenzo upset over extended half-time break for Shakira show at final

The Hindu  

Colombia will seek its second continental title when i takes on defending champion Argentina at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, but the clash will not be the only spectacle with Shakira doing the half-time show. CONMEBOL confirmed the performance would last 20 minutes, and Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo said he disagreed with the decision to extend the break as it could affect the players’ fitness, adding that South American football’s governing body had sanctioned late arrivals on the pitch after half-time. “When we have gone out at 16 we have been fined, now there is a show and we have to go out at 20 or 25, with the impact it can have on the players, they might cool down and we know what it costs those minutes of recovery in the dressing room,” he continued. The coach added he expected his team to play a flawless game to beat Argentina, and highlighted the role of veteran defender James Rodriguez, who has been crucial in the squad.
