Byron Castillo is in the eye of everyone and not only because of the issue with his documentation, but also because of the nervous breakdown he suffered in his team's defeat, Barcelona SC, against Aucas. In addition to this, the full-back has significantly lowered his level and has ceased to be a starter in the Ecuadorian team.
After this episode, a legend of Manchester United, Antonio Valencia, showed solidarity with the player on social media with a heartfelt message and reminded him that he must play in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
“My dear Byron Castillo, stay strong in these moments, don't give up! Remember that you have a World Cup to play. And it is the most beautiful thing that can happen to any football player. We trust in you and your teammates. You are strong, remember that our path is one of struggle,” said the former Ecuadorian football player on his Instagram account.
