And Loor stated in a radio interview diblú: “I feel capable, but I would prefer it to be together with the Alliance. I don’t want any more conflict. I would rather say let’s go together, I put my contingent from the Pro League and we did something together, but that didn’t happen.”

“We programmed the calendar in September 2022, together with the Federation, and in May they told us that the Ecuador Cup will not take place, that it will take place between June and August,” he added.

There would be competition and debts, so I don’t like it makes it fair. But we had a planned schedule.”
