As of Sunday evening, the Bolivian national team gathered in La Paz to welcome Ecuador this Thursday, in the third round of South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Gustavo Costas’ team was already training in La Paz, and one of the elements that arrived on Monday afternoon was forward Marcelo Moreno Martins, who plays for Independiente del Valle.
The historic striker knows the virtues of Ecuadorian football and is warning his team what Félix Sánchez Basa’s Tri can do.
“I know Ecuadorian football, they have a very competitive team, which works very well and you have to be ready to play a good game, because otherwise they will overtake you,” he said.
“We will do everything we can these days to play a great game. In Ecuador, the vision they have about Bolivia is not good, because we didn’t play the games we are used to,” Moreno added after arriving in Santa Cruz, where he later went to La Paz and joined training at the Hernando Siles stadium. .
According to the striker, the start of the qualifiers against Brazil and Argentina was the “worst” in the years he has been in his country’s team.
“We cannot have a parameter for those matches, because it is not Bolivia, because the team is different and we will try to save that. “The one that almost made it to the World Cup in the last preliminary round is our national team,” he said.
“It will be a great game, very difficult, but this time things will be different, our mentality is to win, if we want to regain our confidence and excite the fans, we have to win,” Moreno concluded. (D)
