This evening, José Pekerman, Colombia's coach, has officialized the list of players who will defend the national emblem of the team nicknamed the "Coffee Growers" during World Cup Russia. Jefferson Lerma is included in the roster of the players who will participate in the globally renowned event. At long last, the name of the Levante Granotas/Scarlet-Blues' midfielder is included in the recruitment list consisting of Columbia's 23 best players. Jefferson Lerma, who committed himself to the Levante Granotas/Scarlet-Blues in the summer of 2015, follows the footsteps of Loukas Vyntra and Keylor Navas. The centre-back and the goalkeeper enjoyed participation in World Cup of 2014, with Greece and Costa Rica, as footballers attached to the Levante team roster. Jefferson Lerma is the fifth player linked to a World Cup event while proudly wearing the Levante Scarlet-Blues/Granotas' jersey during the regular season. Carlos Caszely lead this tradition by example in 1974 during World Cup Chile. He was then followed by Lauren, who participated with team Cameroon in 1998 during World Cup France.
