With a history of success at the pinnacle of La Paz, Ecuador will visit Bolivia this Thursday hoping to have the necessary “attitude” to succeed at the South American World Cup.
The team led by Spaniard Félix Sánchez is aiming to repeat their qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, although they started the current match with a -3 penalty point for an untimely sending off on defender Byron Castillo.
It started with a defeat (1-0) against Argentina and beat Uruguay (2-1) in Quito, for the first and second rounds.
Ecuador looks at the height of La Paz with respect, but knows that in previous qualifying rounds it managed to tame the complicated Bolivian square.
La Tri has not lost in 26 years, when they lost 2:0 in 1997, on the way to the ecumenical tournament in France. Then in the next six international knockout games they had four wins and two draws.
For this reason, the Altiplano press believes that Tricolor has become a kind of “black beast” for its team.
“Ecuador is going through a good moment in football. They come after a victory over Uruguay (2-1), at home, despite starting with -3 points due to a sanction issued by FIFA, due to an irregular settlement due to the inclusion of defender Byron Castillo in the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar 2022,” the newspaper writes. Reason peace.
“Ecuador is the favorite for the present and history,” the newspaper added in a note headlined: “Bolivian team gets its ‘baby’, Ecuador.” (D)
