Castañó was one of the players selected by Lorenzo for media interviews on the eve of Colombia's match against Portugal. Colombia can secure first place in Group K with a draw or a win; Portugal must win this match if they want to top the group.

Castañó said in an interview at Colombia's training base in Miami: "The pressure is on them. We are very relaxed mentally and hope to finish the group stage in the best possible condition. The atmosphere in the team is harmonious and united."

Regarding tactical decisions, he said: "The coach will definitely make adjustments, whether it's pressing high or waiting for opportunities. We haven't practiced this style of play yet. Portugal is a strong team with many experienced veterans, but our team has been improving recently, and our overall squad is also very competitive."

Regarding support from his country's fans, he said: "The fans' support is indescribable. We are very grateful for this support, and the enthusiastic atmosphere at the stadium also motivates us to achieve better results. We will stay grounded, humble, and move forward steadily."

Regarding the goal of fighting for first place in the group, he said: "The outside world generally favors Portugal, but we are determined to finish first in the group. We hope the entire team will show their best performances and strive for the ideal outcome."

Assessing Portugal's overall strength, he noted: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a football legend, but Portugal's advantage lies in their overall system, and all the team's players play for top clubs. Their squad is truly excellent, but all the pressure is on them. We need to play smart."
