There's a lot of work to do at the sub20 level. There's plenty of young talent to work with. Some people have said that the team would've played better if the players who play in Europe were available. I'm not sure that's the case. The defense would have been better with Ordóñez playing. The team struggled to string more than 2-3 passes together. Nothing against Bran but he's way over his head. There's also talk that he lost the locker room.
Finished watching marca 90 and I have to say it’s ecua fútbol farándula. I don’t think they’re credible sources.
Yeah, it’s everywhere. Anyways, and to think Moises wanted to go to Arsenal, those guys are bottlers.
I think Garaca will be announced at some point. It'll be surprising if it doesn't happen at this point.
Groups for the U-17 qualifier came out and we definitely got the hardest possible group. Group A: Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, Chile Group B: Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia, Venezuela
Good. I disagree with what the pundits been saying, that he should be given more time. This team didn’t show nothing to even keep him.
We have a tone of amazing coaches with experience in liga pro. I can honestly name 20 that could be amazing coaches for our U20 team. I was looking some of the coaches in our league. Some have been coaching in Ecuador for almost 20 years like Guillermo Duro, Patricio Lara, Ruben Dario Insua, look at Ever Almeida man El Nacho came back as if they never left with what I can say is their most humble team ever. Guys who have been around for almost 10 years in Ecuador like Fabian Frias, Carlos Ischia. Other names I would like to throw out Guillermo Sanguinetti, Gabriel Schürrer, Darío Tempesta, Eduardo Favaro, Marcelo Javier Zuleta, Cheche Hernández, Tabaré Silva. National coaches we have Edison Mendez, Paul Velez, Joel Armas(Man has 3 masters degree and European experience), Juan Carlos León, I would even look at Leonardo Vanegas from Gualaceo. There no reason for us not to have a coach of this caliber and experience in the U20.
Nos that you mentioned Méndez, it was rumored that he might be working with Gareca. Anyone get ahold of that Ecua - Brazil game sub 17? It seems that is tied 4-4
Miguel Bravo is the new coach for the U20 team. I think it's a good pick up. We'll see how he does at the NT level.
Alot of matches have been hard to find lately. Mendez as the assitant coach. That idea was tgtbt. Gareca came out later saying he never requested or talked about having an Ecuadorian coach on his team. In the end our advancement to signing a new coach really dragged on. We still don't have a coach and the Gareca rumors are pointing toward us not signing him.
