Gustavo Alfaro's work minimized by commentator
The work of technician Gustavo Alfaro in the Ecuadorian national team, ranked third in the 2022 Qatar qualifiers, behind favorites Brazil and Argentina, was minimized by Argentine journalist Sebastián Vignolo, who is a commentator for the international chain ESPN.
"The other day, someone stopped me on the street and said, 'Have you seen Alfaro in Ecuador?'. So what? Ecuador is not Boca Juniors, it is a small national team," he said on air.

"Talk to me when Alfaro tears it up managing the national teams of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil. What are you telling me about Ecuador?, with all due respect to Ecuador, it is a national team that almost never goes to the World Cup," he added.
Vignolo forgot to mention that in the short time that coach Alfaro has been working with the national team, they have registered one defeat and two victories, in which they have scored seven goals. They are only surpassed by the Canarinha, who has ten goals. The Albiceleste, with Lionel Messi, the best player today, only has four goals.
He also omitted to mention that the Tri, at the beginning of this process, overpowered the established Uruguay, led by the renowned coach Óscar Washington Tabárez, in Quito, and achieved a 4-2 victory.
In the opening of the previous qualifiers for Russia, the Tricolor broke the hegemony that Argentina maintained at home with a resounding 2-0 victory at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. (D)
