Gonzalo Plata published this Sunday afternoon an image with which he revealed his incorporation into the Ecuadorian national team. The Real Valladolid midfielder was the starter on Saturday in the defeat of the Pucela team against Las Palmas, in a LaLiga 2 match, as he was expected to arrive from Spain that day.
Although he cannot play against Paraguay next Thursday (March 24) due to suspension, Plata will be in the concentration of the national team on Guarani land, contemplating that the coaching staff can count on the 21-year-old winger from the next date of the World Cup qualifier against Argentina (March 29), in Guayaquil.
Silver shared via stories Instagram a photo that shows his arrival presumably at a hotel in Asunción, where the tricolor delegation is scheduled to arrive.
A video released by the Department of Communication of the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) gives an account and reason for a group of seven players who undertook a trip from Quito, while the rest of the ‘legionnaires’ headed directly to Paraguay from the countries of origin of their clubs.
Moisés Ramírez, Jeremy Sarmiento, Moisés Caicedo, Byron Castillo, Michael Carcelén, Danny Cabezas and Michael Estrada departed from the capital.
These soccer players and the coaching staff embarked on the Latam charter flight that will take them to Asunción.
Goalkeeper Jorge Pinos played this Sunday the match between his team, October 9, and Gualaceo, so he will also travel to Paraguay, while another of those summoned, Joao Rojas, will close the day for the LigaPro between his team, Emelec and Dolphin.
Paraguay is already eliminated from the South American qualifier, while Ecuador, third with 25 points, is one step away from achieving its ticket to the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
The match will take place at the Antonio Aranda stadium in Ciudad del Este (330 km east of Asunción) on Thursday.
In the event of not beating Paraguay and other combined results not being favorable for the Tri, Gustavo Alfaro’s squad will qualify directly for the World Cup with a tie or victory against Leo Messi’s Albiceleste in Guayaquil, on the last day of the tie. (D)
