On January 13, 2020, FEF leaders officially hire Jordi Cruyff as the strategist of the national team for the qualifiers for Qatar 2022 and Copa America, both competitions suspended due to the coronavirus. His appointment, for the new football experts, was to sow norms of European sports culture on and off the field. The fans accepted this appointment at that time.

But what happens? Cruyff assembles his coaching staff with foreign elements, preventing Ecuadorian coaches from being close to his work, being the first mistake by Jordi. This position would not have been accepted in Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay, let alone nations that have reached the World Cup podium. Being objective in my comment, journalism and the fans have forgiven him for that.

Second mistake. Limiting the players with whom he has talked to express their opinions. Here we ask ourselves, in what part of the football world are the voices of footballers chained? or aspires to have a herd of sheep. No Mr. Cruyff. You are completely confused and that is what the Ecuadorians think.

Third mistake. It is linked to weak leadership. Once hired it was logical for him to be based in the country. You disregard the successes that previous coaches have had, we remind you that we have already attended three World Cups with the senior team and we have a legion of players acting in foreign clubs with prominence. Your presence and absence have become a puzzle. Has he arrived yet? Where is he? In which country can he be located? In short, your travels and stays have confused everyone. Keep in mind that we are not naive.

I defended him in another column and in your writing, I asked the journalism, fans, and the country that once you were appointed coach of the Tri, let you work in peace and rather punished the leadership for not having hired you in advance.

But your silent, proud, and unprofessional gestures give face to these words. We are not a country of fools.

No more words... (O)
