Gonzalo Plata scored just one goal in the 2022-2023 season, in exchange for seven assists, mixed with Valladolid’s relegation to the second division. And for a change, as happened during his stay in Europe, the sporting performance of the Ecuadorian caused more criticism than praise. Undeniable abilities, that virtue did not serve the 22-year-old footballer from Guayaquil when it came to dribbling problems. Now he is involved in another one and the management of Valladolid has informed him, with a reprimand.

the newspaper The world of sports, from Barcelona, ​​headlined this Wednesday “Gonzalo Plata angers Valladolid again” with a note mentioning that “the Pucel club feels bad that the Ecuadorian told foreign media that he wants to leave.” in newspapers AS, from Madrid, the tricolor is also making headlines. He reproduces the statement of Fran Sánchez: “I did not like Plata’s statements.” And he adds that “the sports director of Real Valladolid appreciated in the presentation of Raúl Mora situations like that of the Ecuadorian or Larin”.

What did Silver do? It counts The world of sports: “Valladolid’s sports director, Fran Sánchez, criticized the Ecuadorian player Gonzalo Plata for some statements made to various media in his country, in which he stated that he wanted to leave the Blanquivioleta team, and that (the manager) admitted that he did not like them at all”.

‘One more’

Fran Sánchez gave more details: “I told (Plata) that I don’t like his statements because this club gave him the opportunity to be in the first division and to play in Spain. He is one of the squad. A talented 22-year-old player, who was always in demand and responded well, in general, except for some unpleasant situation that has already been charged (the Ecuadorian had a car accident while driving drunk, in December 2021)”.

According to The world of sportsFran Sánchez is “notoriously upset by Plata’s attitude in showing his desire to leave.”

IN AS and also in a Catalan newspaper, a Valladolid official explained what, at the moment, is the working reality of Plata. “It is true that many first league players and some from outside (from Spain) have called us, but there is still no firm offer for his transfer to assess what can be done. If a proposal arrives that we find interesting, we will appreciate it, as it is the case with the whole team. If that’s not the case, (Silver) will have to continue, because he doesn’t have any exit clause, other than a termination clause”.

Sports portal Unmark, from Sevilla, also reported annoyance in Valladolid over Plata’s statements about packing up and leaving the club: “It’s true that the footballer is very clear that he wants to leave Pucella after relegation. This is how he explained it in various interviews in his country, which caused criticism from many followers of Blanquiviolet. Real Valladolid, as in other cases, is willing to sell, but not at any price. A year ago, he paid three million euros for 50% of the addition of players, money that he not only wants to recover, but also overcome. (D)
