This is the only news outlet that mentioned him leaving and this rumor is based on hypothetical scenario. So supper rumor for now. In case that it does happen Celico will most likely be coaching the senior team again. These first 2 matches are gonna be rough thats all I can say. I really wish FEF was preparing this team from every angle but in terms of call up date and friendly scheduallling there slacking. Our call up is gonna be March 20. Less than 6 days to prepare. In reality that gonna be 3 solid training (If we are lucky) with the full squad. Cause not every player can immediately travel and get to Ecuador. Thats supper scary if you ask me.
Cruyff said he will call 4 or 5 BSC players. To me Martinez and Aimar are a must. Velasco and Pineida I feel Andres Lopez and Anibal Chala would deserve it a lil more over them but to me they are the immediate options behind them. For a 5th option from BSC im not sure if he is considering Castillo or Vallecilla or even Maqrques or Diaz (If there fully eligible new Fifa law requires 5 years not sure if they fully qualify) but there are a number of better option compared to those 4 option in their respective spots. I dont think he should gamble youth like that on his first call up and we have a few DM and CAM to consider over Marques and Diaz.
IDV didnt get Recopa but there gonna face Flamengo again in Libertadores and Libertadores U-20 lol. There gonna get so much experience this year. I was a little upset tho that they let Dajome go and signed Guerrero and Murillo. There was so many options for them to go after I would have aimed for some one younger with more potential or a bigger name than these guys. Alexander Alvarado, Joel Valencia, Cristian Penilla, Jefferson Montero, Jeison Chala, Joao Plata, Manuel Balda, Jose Ayovi would have been way better and perfect for IDV. And for Univerdidad Catholica I was expecting a lil more for them tbh. Also it sucked that Aucas got Eliminated at the last minute I was expecting them to advance as well. They faced hard teams tho. Lanus and Velez. Macara upset me a little I had very high hope for them to advance lol. Emelec and BSC are doing great I cant wait to see Liga and IDV in Libertadores. This years Libertadores is gonna great.
All bad sign FEF what are you doing. We dont even know the terms for the contract with this guy ??? https://www.futbolecuador.com/site/...gas-en-la-fef-y-el-contrato-con-cruyff/113983
Honestly I lost all respect for Jaime Estrada and Fransico Egas I respected what they did in Manta FC and Universidad Catholica and had hope that they would be would be a nice change for FEF but they been amateurish in some aspect. We looked so dumb and stupid letting news like this get out. It seems like they let some one sweet talk them into signing Cruyff and let some one else do all the negotiations to sign Cruyff we could hav easily lost so much money and been with out a coach. Also any one check the FEF webiste they changed it and removed all tournament info and FEF cards. I used to love the tournament info and FEF cards. FEF was probably the only organization I know of that had so much open and easily searchable info for every registered player. I can find info on everything up to the U-12 players and U-12 tournaments. Search up any player I wanted to get info on. It was so great. I hope they bring that back
These are all the players we should be looking into for our Call up. Alexander Domínguez Pedro Ortíz Jorge Pinos Johan Padilla Anibal Chala Gabriel Achilier Darío Aimar Franklin Guerra Pervis Estupiñán Arturo Mina Cristian Ramírez Robert Arboleda Fernando Leon Marcos Andrés López Félix Torres Luis Segovia Mario Pineida Pedro Velasco Xavier Arreaga (I wouldnt call him but Cruyff might) Erick Castillo Junior Sornoza Miller Bolaños Jordan Sierra Jefferson Orejuela Ángel Mena Antonio Valencia Alan Franco Jefferson Intriago Alexander Alvarado Jonathan Perlaza Jhon Sánchez Gonzalo Plata Fernando Gaibor (Huge maybe but I have a feeling Cruyff will call him. He has scored and assisted almost every game that a little hard to ignore.) Enner Valencia Michael Estrada Fidel Martínez Felipe Caicedo (Hope we can convince him to come back)
Players left out: Juan Cazares (Injured) Renato Ibarra (Injured) Anderson Julio (Injured) Bryan Angulo ( Not getting enough playing time or scoring goals to merit a call up if he changes that he coud be considered next call up we need FW) Carlos Gruezo (Just came back from Injury has been benched since) Ayrton Preciado (Injured) Romario Ibarra (Just recovered from injury yesterday) Jhojan Julio (Injured) Diego Palacios (Didnt get any playing time last season only played 2 games so far for LAFC) Sebastian Mendez (Got benched alot last season hasnt played any matches recently that I know of) Xavier Arreaga I know I put him on the list but to me he doesnt merit the call up. Had a pretty bad season last season if you ask me he played 2 or 3 games recently with his team but to me he still hasnt earned a spot back. I have a gut feeling Cruyff will call him tho.
Finally ive been waiting to see this kind of work from Cruyff and his team. http://m.ecuagol.com/index.php?n=155796 http://m.ecuagol.com/index.php?n=155785 Is still dont know who Cruyff team is lol. Also for got to add Joao Rojas to the list of player for call up.
Vs Argentina i think we should go with experianced players. Cruyff has never had any experiance like this. He is gonna implement a new playing style and I think experiance on the field can go a long way. I think down the line Orejuela and Sierra should be our starting mid Leon and Arboleda starting defense. Domiguez Ramirez, Achilier, Arboleda, Estupinan Valencia, Sierra Mena, Bolanos, Castillo Caicedo/Valencia
Dam I really wish BSC and IDV werent in the same group lol. Some players that are coming back on the NT radar: Bryan Angulo: 90 Min and a hat trick in Copa MX. If he keeps this up he should def get a call up soon. Anderson Julio: Recovered from injury more than a week ago. Played one game 40 min and I believe 90 Min another. Carlos Gruezo: Finally got playing time 90 min recently: Sebastian Mendez: 90 MIN and man of the match. I just really want to see consistency from him so he can get the call up because he is a great player. Same for Palacios. Played the Concacaf games but got benched in the MLS game. Another name to mentio for the future: Gabriel Cortez: Debuted with Botafogo if he consolidates him self and get constant playing time he should def get called.
Damn WTF is up with Renato Ibarra?homie tried to kill his wife and her sister,Cléber Chalá s daughters..
Renato Ibarra recently recovered from his injury and was slated to get the call-up, but he's been mixed up in some legit insanity out in Mexico. As fans, we should be very open and candid about these things and denounce players when these issues arise. Spousal abuse/domestic abuse is a major no-no...and too much riding on the line to risk a career over squabbling. That being said, I'll be interested to see what our lineup looks like. Argentina's calling up the big dawgs.
How’s everybody weathering this pandemic?Im really feeling it for our Brothers in Ecuador ,my city Guayaquil in particular,it hit them like a virus Tsunami.Hope everyone is good along with their loved ones,hopefully we can get back to trashing our Federation,speaking of ..Egas was ousted from his post??2020 is going to be the est year ever for my Ecuador!!
Yea bro so many of my family members got sick luckily everyone recovered. But alot of Ecuadorian here in Queens are getting sick and dying. It crazy. As for FEF there is no clear leadership or organization. There all over the place and are looking amateurish at best. This is gonna be a pretty mediocre cycle till some one new steps in.
Ecuador for the most part has talent...you guys do and I do have respect for you guys. I always have so that being said, for this 2022 qualifying cycle, if you guys truly want to get back to the World Cup...your players are definitely going to have to step it up because you guys have a capable enough side If Ecuador were to somehow qualify for Qatar, then what would be your lineup? What would it look like?
A line up for four years from now ? Id say / hope it would be Moisés Ramírez Cristian Ramirez, Jackson Porozo, Robert Arboleda, Pervis Estupinan Carlos Gruezo, Jordan Sierra Gonzalo Plata, Juan Cazares, Anderson Julio Leonardo Campana Bench: Fernando Leon Júnior Sornoza Michael Estrada Bryan Angulo Alexander Alvarado Alan Franco Sebastian Mendez Jefferson Intriago Félix Torres Jhojan Julio Diego Palacios Aníbal Chalá Joao Rojas Jhon Sánchez Jonathan Perlaza Jefferson Orejuela Jonathan Borja Luis Segovia Stiven Plaza Angelo Preciado Bryan Carabalí Anthony Landázuri Xavier Arreaga Johan Padilla Jhon Espinoza Jordy Caicedo Alejandro Cabeza Darío Aimar Gustavo Cortez Leonardo Realpe Gabriel Cortez Byron Castillo Brian Heras Jackson Porozo José Cifuentes Sergio Quintero Jordy Alcívar Kike Saverio Jeremy Sarmiento And if John Yeboah doesnt play for Germany or Ghana and gets Ecuadorian citizenship id say him to.
John Yeboah can play for Germany, Ghana or Ecuador but this is a first for me well not knowing about him but knowing Ecuador they will probably snag him up
