On April Fool’s Day, memes related to Colombian soccer did not wait.
Amid the creative designs with ‘impossible signings’, false retirements or sudden appointments, such as Piqué’s as Barcelona manager, one of the World Cup trophy stood out in Colombia, accompanied by a striking text: «Colombia Selection, the day it is directed by Carlos Antonio Vélez».
The impact of the meme was so great that the journalist himself decided to comment on it on his networks. And he did it his way.

‘Vélez, coach of Colombia’
The record among the honorees is 17 world championships. Vélez has been in 12.
