Complaint about delay in transfer
The Ecuadorian National Team landed in Mexico exactly 24 hours before their round of 32 match against El Tri. The delay forced a late arrival to the concentration hotel and the pre-match press conference.
Sebastián Beccacece raised his voice against the organization. “The truth is that it took us three hours longer than what was established, we don’t really know why, between the flight and the transfer, it ended up being a 9-hour trip, so obviously we look tired,” declared the Argentine coach. He pointed out that his team did not have the opportunity to adapt to the altitude because they arrived so close.
“We are very tired of all the details, everything has been done exactly and it has not been the same here,” he added. Despite everything, “the team is doing well, excited, with spirit, eager to make history, but aware that we have a rival who was better in the group stage.”
No excuses for the game
As time went by, Beccacece lowered the intensity of his claim and assured that he does not feel that the logistical complications favor Javier Aguirre. “I always believe in good intentions, I think it happened that way, we have to accept it and I trust that my warriors will fight tomorrow. We compete, we play, we don’t make complaints or excuses,” he explained.
For his part, substitute goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle seemed calmer. “We as players do not give it much importance, we focus directly on the work we have to do and we know that these are things that escape us and no one is to blame,” he concluded.
The Ecuadorian team will have to face El Tri with less rest, but with the intention of making history.
