Felix Sanchez Bas played without a striker by trade defeat of Ecuador 1-0 against Argentinain an international friendly in preparation for the America Cup.
When it was confirmed 11 of the TriThe big surprise was that Jeremy Sarmiento He was the starter occupying the forward position, a job that is not characteristic of the tricolor and that was completely noticeable on the field of play, since Ecuador was never able to create and have a clear goal option.
The Brighton player He looked bad on the field, with a role of great sacrifice and this was not his fault, because he really Sarmiento never got the ball; In addition, Argentina’s defense was able to completely close the 21-year-old element.
Ecuador never shot on goal and that confirms that Félix Sánchez Bas’s plan never worked, then the entry of Enner Valencia gave him aggressiveness; but It was not enough with everything that was already lost in a large part of the duel.
On the other hand, if Jeremy Sarmiento was the false 9 of the Trisuggests that the three forwards called up were not at their 100% to be stellar. Enner Valencia had his minutes, Kevin Rodríguez remains in doubt and Jordy Caicedo due to his bad streak with Atlas.
For the following friendlies and the Copa América, It will be difficult for the Spanish coach to try again with a 9 that is not official, because it was difficult for him today.
