Ecuadorian Team’s Silence: A Controversial Move After Victory Against Jamaica

The position of the players of the Ecuadorian team of not wanting to talk to the national press after the victory (3-1) against Jamaica that keeps them standing in the fight to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copa América 2024 was strange. .

Before the duel against the Caribbean, midfielder Carlos Gruezo said: “The group is doing well. We have realized that they are increasingly waiting for us to make a mistake so they can kill even before the Copa América. We are aware of what happened the other day. “Now we know we have Jamaica and we need those three points.”

But the criticism from the fans, who are the ones who pay for the ticket or the satellite television service to watch the Tri matches, is against the Spanish coach Félix Sánchez Bas, because the team does not show signs of a game idea. In the match against the reggae boyz he won due to the talent and effort that each element put in.

Regarding the refusal of the tricolors, Pervis Estupiñán, who was not considered because he is recovering from an injury, stated: “I respect the work of journalists, but at the same time I believe that you yourselves ensure that all the boys take this type of attitudes. You ask us to understand the sacrifice you make by being away from your families, but when you speak, you never speak knowing the sacrifice that one goes through to try to leave the flag of our country at the highest level. The job of a journalist is to interview, talk about football, and also give his opinion from his point of view, because it is his right,” Pervis posted in a story on his account on the social network Instagram.

“Many kids are afraid to give an interview because they don’t know what serious question can be asked of a footballer and, if you give your point of view, it is frowned upon by many people and the entire country is responsible for burying that player just because He has answered what he thinks. When he plays Ecuador we are one jersey. He does not play in Liga (Q), Barcelona SC, Emelec or another club in Ecuador,” added the left back of Premier League club Brighton.

And he stressed: “We are one country. We are just hard-working people who always want to do things right and bring joy to the country, even if things are not going well in our country. There are times when we go out to play and everything goes well; other times it goes wrong, but we always go out to win. Let’s go for a more united Ecuador. Because when we shout ‘Yes we can’ it is because yes we can.”

The Tricolor’s next match will be against Mexico on Sunday, June 30, starting at 7:00 p.m., at the State Farm Stadium in the city of Glendale, Arizona. (D)
