Speaking to Colombian media about the pressure facing past and current Colombia players, Sachi - who now manages Ecuadorian side Universidad Catolica, said that the family of Carlos Sanchez - who conceded two penalties during his country's World Cup campaign, must be feeling “desperate and powerless” after the threats he received, and admitted that his country had "learned nothing" nearly a quarter of a century after his brother's death.
“As a brother who has gone through this, I know what must be going through their heads, and I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that."
“Carlos must be feeling both sad for the mistake he made, and very afraid, and his family too.
