The Eternal Salomón

Is Salomón Rondón the best player in the history of Venezuelan football? The answer for me is no, but he is a number two that is quite close to the first place held by Juan Arango.

The Eternal Salomón

TL;DR

  • Salomón Rondón has reached 50 career goals for the Venezuelan national team, scoring his first in 2008.
  • Rondón has played in top leagues such as La Liga, the Premier League, and Argentina's River Plate.
  • At 36, Rondón's age is a concern as Venezuela lacks a comparable backup striker.
  • The national team has a new coach, Oswaldo Vizcarrondo, who is tasked with developing new talent.
  • There is a need for Venezuela to find a new generation of strikers to replace Rondón before the 2030 World Cup cycle.
