Since last weekend La Tri arrived in the United States, where several of those summoned were arriving, and under the command of Félix Sánchez Bas, the Ecuadorian team has trained at the Philadelphia complex, the place of concentration.
The tricolor comes from a double FIFA date in which they beat Guatemala and lost to Italy, All this happened in the month of March; while In the Qualifiers, Ecuador is fifth (qualification zone) with 8 units, remembering that they have -3 points for the well-known case of Byron Castillo.
Félix Sánchez has been in charge of the National Team for about a year and a half, and despite the fact that the numbers support him, he has only lost in 3 games out of 12, two friendlies (against Australia and Italy) and one in the South American Qualifiers against Argentina, their rival in the warm-up friendly. But the criticisms have always been there and this is because his idea remains unconvincing; Furthermore, some calls have not been to the fans’ liking, and he feels that other names are much better at the moment and are not considered.
For its part, the Albiceleste is living its extraordinary present, despite the fact that in 2023 it suffered a defeat against Uruguay on the way to the 2026 World Cup, those led by Lionel Scaloni are a team that knows each other perfectly and has a different player, Leo Messi, the best player in history.
The world champion in its friendlies prior to the Copa América, Ecuador is the most difficult rival, because during the last duels, the tricolor has had its weapons to make it very difficult for Argentina.
