Did Barcelona SC and Emelec previously have more demanding filters around footballers who signed contracts for the jerseys of the most popular clubs in Ecuador? Yes, obviously. In recent years, local and foreign players hired only because they had outstanding moments in teams without the pressure that the yellow-blues suffer, jumped (and got into) the Brodogradište team, and failed because they did not adapt. They are condemned due to lack of quality or mental strength to take public exams every weekend. Time and money are wasted.

There are numerous cases of mirages. A few players crept in who, scoring a few goals, with a strange dribble or a striking game in teams of less importance, considering their real conditions, created wrong impressions among fans and overestimation and hasty conclusions in journalism, sports.

“It was fucking hard to win at Barcelona SC. Can you imagine how hard it was for me, a 17-year-old, to earn the respect of heavyweights like Fausto Klínger, Flavio Perlaza and Galo Vásquez? I was the sixth goalkeeper when Ramón Quiroga (Argentine Peruvian, winner of the World Cup in 1978, dismissed) and Argentine Antonio Mercuri (due to a serious injury. He arrived as a star from Deportivo Quito) had to leave. They promoted Walter Guerrero and me, we started fighting for a position, and in 1983 I had to make my debut against Deportivo Quevedo,” Carlos Luis Morales (+) told EL UNIVERSO in 2013 about how complicated it was to take the place in Buenos. Aires institution.

‘José Pileggi, the president of Emelec, is not incompetent, but he is not a versatile player either. You should let those who know advise you,’ suggests Carlos Luis Torres, a former blue presidential candidate

What he said Mafalda

Also in 2013 legendary Mafalda Vásquez spoke to this newspaper about the “psychological weight” and the “weight of the Barcelona jersey”, and how it affects the “pressure of the fans”. He said: “Let’s remember that it’s not just a team from Guayaquil, it has fans. everywhere in Ecuador.” There were no obstacles for the sensational midfielder Esmeralda: he stayed for eleven seasons, won five league titles, twice qualified for the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores, and today he is a historic Canarian.

Is it easier to get to Barcelona and Emelec now? In 2019, Billy Arce, who was unstoppable at Independiente del Valle, returned to the country after an unsuccessful stint in Spain. The Blues sent him back to his homeland, he never played, and in the middle of the season they fired him for indiscipline. The Canaries didn’t care about the incident and caught Arce who missed the chance.

Is Emelec looking for Venezuelan striker José Salomón Rondón?

He was arrested and convicted for drunk driving while he was a bullfighter. Arce is the only player who was separated by both Astillers for indiscipline in the same year. He was also the first player in history to wear both jerseys in the same season, and the only one to score goals for Emelec and Barcelona SC in the same championship (2019). Nothing happened with his career.

Janner Corozo Emelec?

Could Arce have played for Barcelona SC in 1991, champions with a devastating attack: Carlos Muñoz, Manuel Uquillas, Ermen Benítez? In 2022, the Canaries had one of the worst forward groups in their history in terms of goals: Gonzalo Mastriani, Carlos Garcés, who was eliminated for the jersey; Erick Castillo, Adonis Preciado, Cristian Penilla and Jonathan Perlaza (all also lose in comparison to Barcelona’s 1995 champions: Uquillas, Carlos Alfaro Moreno and Gilson de Souza).

Until 2023, there were ups and downs. Jonatan Bauman, whom Independiente del Valle got rid of, was added to the miserable yellow attack; Fidel Martínez, with wet powder; and Janner Corozo (Christian Ortiz and Agustín Rodríguez played at once), who just failed in Chile.

Namely, Corozo, with a mediocre performance in Barcelona, ​​would be in Emelec’s plans for 2024. Portal Criterion, from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, reported Wednesday that the 28-year-old from Esmeralda “is in Emelec’s orbit because of his actions,” but that “the Pachuca Group does not intend to give him that.” Sports rights holders Corozo intend to sell the pass.

80.76% of the time, changed

Coroz’s business fate is up in the air because, according to Criterion, “In the current winter market, the Tuzos have hired the Ecuadorian Andrés Micolta, so the further addition of footballers from that country (Ecuador), which Guillermo Almada knows well, is ruled out.”

What did Janner Corozo do in Barcelona to say that “his actions” have him, allegedly, in the Emelecista’s plans? On the Liga Pro website, in the statistics section, it is detailed that in the 27 games he played in 2023, he started 26, but was substituted 21 times (that is, Corozo did not finish 80.76% of the commitments he started). Furthermore, his scoring account is very poor; only four goals.

Where would Corozo fit into the 1988 Monarch Emelec, which boasted a respectable attack composed of Raúl Avilés, Jesús Cárdenas, Eduardo Aparicio and Rubén Beninca? Would you have a chance on the two-time champion blue teams of 1993-1994. with characters like Luis Roberto Oste, Luis Castillo, Jesús Cárdenas, Humberto Garcés, Ángel Fernández and Eduardo Hurtado? With Ángel Meno and Miller Bolaños, more quality elements than Coroz, such as Luis Miguel Escalada and Marcos Mondaini, had complications to find a place in the triple champion in 2013, 2014, 2015.

Corozo was at Everton in Viña del Mar before landing at Astillero. According to Transfermarkt, he appeared only six times, scoring no goals and no assists. None of his presentations lasted 90 minutes and he recorded two commitments of just one minute played each and another of 180 seconds. Does anyone play in Barcelona SC and Emelec today? (D)
