Colombia striker Luis Muriel has stated that his team have the talent to go further in the World Cup in Russia than the side of four years ago who reached the quarter-finals in Brazil. The South Americans open their World Cup Group H campaign against Japan in Saransk on Tuesday after making their final preparations at a picturesque ski resort overlooking the Volga River.
“To have a very good World Cup compared with the one in Brazil, the ideal would be to go further than we did, and I believe this team has the ability to do that,” Muriel said.
