Independiente del Valle has been a sensational team in recent years where they have won three international titles and one national title, apart from being currently Ecuador’s top team holder, for these and other reasons they have also earned admiration abroad.

Those from Sangolquí have two South American Cups, a Recopa and a Pro League and despite the achievements, especially international, for Franklin Salas, that still does not make him a “big team”.

“It’s not great, because history gives greatness, the fans give it to you, the decades you made your team a champion and Independiente is new,” said the nickname Magician.

“It’s a model to follow, it’s growing a lot, but to call it a big team would be an exaggeration,” he added in a radio interview. Huancavilca.

Salas, who is now dedicated to technical management, believes it would be “disrespectful” to clubs such as Barcelona SC, Emelec, Liga de Quito, among others.

“It would be disrespectful and disrespectful to the history of Barcelona SC, Emelec, El Nacional and Liga de Quito. Hats off to what Independiente del Valle has done, yes, but to call it great, I think it’s a few decades away,” Salas concluded. (D)
