Djorkaeff Reasco is one of the many strikers from Ecuador who, with little time in the country’s first league and a low number of goals scored, are urgently looking for a move abroad. His performances in international football are celebrated as an achievement in themselves; But in recent times, the tricolor strikers who are exported have been characterized by their inability to score goals in other leagues around the world.

Bryan suffered from the same disease. Coward Angulo terrorized goalkeepers when he was in the domestic championship, but he did not send fear to Mexico and Brazil. The case of Ayrton Preciado, in Santos Laguna, in Torreón is identical; Jhohan Julio also went out, to Santos FC; Janner Corozo, at Everton in Viña del Mar, Chile, did nothing; and the repeatedly popularized Jefferson Montero, had an insignificant career in Europe.

The scoring drought has also been a problem for other strikers who, despite a longer career in Ecuador, have faltered when crossing borders to play football. Such are the cases of Marlon de Jesús, in Monterrey; Marcos Caicedo, with only two goals in 66 games in Mexico; Eric Snake Castillo, unstoppable in Barcelona SC, and from the draw in the land of the Aztecs. Not everyone succeeded in imitating Christian Mutt Benítez, Felipe Caicedo and Enner Valencia, to name contemporary examples.

“Economic shooters”

Among those whom journalist Mauro Velásquez called “economic shooters” is Djorkaeff Reasco, who will turn 25 on January 18. He made his debut in the Quito League in November 2016 in a match against Fuerza Amarilla in which his father Néicer Reasco (then 38 years old) also played in the Alba jersey. He soon went to the Mexican Dorados de Sinaloa, a club with which he scored only one goal in fourteen games. Reasco returned to Liga Quito, where, according to the specialized portal Transfermarkt, he left a record of ten goals in 38 official matches.

Bad, in Argentina

If that version is substantiated, this is the background information that the Canaries management should analyze if Reasco is an option: with Newell’s Old Boys, the striker scored four goals in 46 games with the Rosario side, according to Transfermarkt. After leaving the so-called leper, Reasco joined the Instituto de Córdoba where things went from bad to worse: three clean sheets, as far as goals were concerned.

Furthermore, in one of several strange decisions Gustavo Alfaro made in preparing Ecuador’s roster for the 2022 World Cup, he included Reasco, who played only 64 minutes in just one qualifying match. In Qatar, he lost the game against Senegal (2-1), with 26 minutes to go. In the national team, Reasco has five appearances, without goals. (D)
