Now it is the Argentine Gustavo Alfaro who adds a spicy touch to the unusual scene in which the prop staff of the Ecuadorian team looks for the Diego Palacios midfielder’s shirt. In a video that circulates on social networks, the gaucho coach is heard insulting because Palacios’ clothing does not appear so that he can enter the game against Peru, in Lima.
The event occurred between minutes 66 and 67 of the duel for date 16 of the qualifiers for Qatar 2022. Alfaro ordered the entry of the Chiqui for the injured Ayrton Preciado, who had an ailment in his left leg (yesterday it was revealed that he has a fissure in his tibia, according to the latest medical report published last Friday by his club, Santos Laguna).
And the problem arose because the player’s shirt did not appear. The staff in charge of the Tri’s clothing got desperate because they couldn’t find her on the bench and had to go to the dressing room. This caused the annoyance of the DT, who ended up launching a strong insult.
During the search, the Peruvian team tied at 1 through a header from right back Luis Advíncula, who was in charge of marking Preciado. A situation that no one clarified after the match at the National Stadium.
Alfaro at a press conference commented: “I don’t think there was a lack of concentration power there. There was a detail, because at the time that Ayrton Preciado was injured, I wanted to put him to Chiqui Palacios, the shirt disappeared and that’s why we couldn’t make the change. And at that moment when they bring the shirt, the referee had already set the ball in motion and we were missing a player, and that’s where the play came from. Therefore, the truth is the fate that left us the fact that they are mistakes that we cannot make, because there is much at stake. I do think that we lacked to finish winning the game: first, it is not to make that mistake there; and second, to take advantage of the very clear and very favorable options that we had at the start of the second half”.
