‘It’s an exaggeration; does not make sense’: the reproach of Miguel Rondelli, Emelec coach, about the increase in the quota of foreigners in the LigaPro

Miguel Rondelli, Emelec coach, does not like the regulations that LigaPro approved in recent months to expand the quota to eight foreigners in the clubs of series A and B.

The millionaire strategist arrived in Guayaquil this Friday morning to join his club’s preseason and was consulted about the aforementioned.

“For me it is an exaggeration; Has no sense. As coaches, we have to accept the rules of the game. I am not in charge of deciding if it is good or bad. If you ask me, with six players it’s fine”, said the DT.

“We currently have seven (foreigners), if all the additions are confirmed and Carlos Villalba and Federico Andueza sign. There we would already have seven, with the exception that in the first semester we cannot count on Alexis Zapata (due to injury). It seems to me that Ecuadorian soccer is growing too much to bring in many foreigners,” Rondelli reproached.

The coach emphatically stated that if the measure responds to “reducing costs”, then “cheap is expensive”.

“It is being compared a lot with leagues like England or Germany, which do not have an established quota of foreigners. To enter these leagues you need a passport; In England, with Brexit, not just anyone comes to play, ”he said.

“Let all the foreigners who want to come if that passport is going to be established; but, if it is only to lower costs, it seems to me that cheap is expensive ”, he added. (D)
