In 2023, between light and shadow is what Emelec is currently going through, with a poor performance in the first phase of the Pro League, which has it in the relegation places in the accumulated table.

The year began with optimism both in the leadership headed by José Pileggi, and the Argentine Miguel Rondelli, in charge of directing the blue destiny.

However, the albiceleste, who arrived expecting to have a good campaign with Universidad Católica de Quito, did not find their way.

Now, under the leadership of the Colombian Hernán Torres, and after the first term of the second phase of the Pro League, the Guayaquil players have only 15 points in the overall table. The product of three wins, six draws and seven losses.

And although the Electricians reached the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, they did so unconvincingly and were left out by Argentina’s defense and justice.

This puts all of Emelec’s attention on the Pro League, but what should be the main goal? improve and win the second part? or save category?

And although the final part of the local competition is already taking place, Pileggi has been worried about saving relegation in recent days, and his decisive answer was: “this is just beginning.”

But the difficult situation in Guayaquil, what is the cause? Is there any liability for this? UNIVERSE He consulted three journalists and they agree that everything that happened is shared.

“What Emelec has to do now is to save the category, I think they don’t have players to fight for the stage, because that’s their reality, so that’s the main value they have to fight for at the moment,” said Gabriela Jurado, a radio journalist Center and Caravan.

“You have to take into account that at the moment it is a reduced squad because there are injuries, it is a squad that does not meet the expectations of the technical director,” he added.

There were a number of bad decisions, for example, I don’t think the right coach was chosen, which was Miguel Rondelli, as well as the release of valuable players like Dixon Arroyo and Sebastián Rodríguez.

For Javier Ruiz, from the radio Tomorrowthose of Hernán Torres, are forced to fight for the stage due to their status as a big team.

“When we talk about Emelec, he thinks he has to fight for important things and he has to do it for the stage, even though he is dedicated to the last places. It is a big team and its fans want it to fight for titles”, the communicator indicated.

“He had a bad semester, he had a bad campaign, he was left out of the Copa Sudamericana, that’s why he has to go to the end of the championship,” he added.

A bit of everything happened at Emelec: they had low-level players, the management made mistakes in some things, maybe because they are new and you have to think that it is not easy.

Gabriel Solorzano, of KCHFMagreed with Jurado and Ruiz and believes that it is “urgent” for the millionaires today to get out of the relegation zone.

“The leadership must know what is urgent and necessary, the positions in which Emelec remained in the first phase make the situation urgent and it is necessary to win points in the three games to come in order to manage to get out of the bottom of the table (accumulated)”, he stated.

“If you lose one game you’re in hell, but if you win all three you can start to believe you’re ready to fight for the stage. The team’s problem is in form, not content,” he added.

Emelec is used to a losing team, which has not won anything since 2017, has players who are considered leaders and who have been there for more than two seasons and earned absolutely nothing.

Electricians measure this Sunday, in Capwell, Orense de Machala. In the continuation of the Pro League, they tied without goals on the road at Libertad FC in Loja.

Phrases:

The current reality of Emelec isolates Hernán Torres, because he did not build the team and inherit the players and when he asked for signatures they did not bring them.

Gabriela Jurado

If we point to one person responsible for what happened, we are wrong. Management, coaches and players have responsibility for that, everything is shared.

The selection of players was poorly planned and of those who brought only three or four succeeded, it failed. The blame for this is shared.
