The coach of the Ecuador national team, Gustavo Alfaroruled on the case Byron Castillo in a press conference in the United States, where the ‘Tri’ has been facing various international friendlies, and broke out against Chili for his claim before FIFA.
“We are very calm in that sense. We focused on working and preparing the team for the World Cup, because we know that we rightfully qualified where we had to win it: on the pitch. And we won it as we should win. Everything else is noise”, began the strategist.
“I am concerned about the damage they are doing to Byron and to us. I have no doubt that there will be justice in all aspects and an apology is not enough for me. We are very calm because of how we did things and we earned the right to participate in a World Cup on the pitch”, stated Gustavo Alfaro.
