Barcelona recruits Diego Forlán for their presentation
The year before, Barcelona recruited Ronaldinho to be part of their team's presentation at the 'Yellow Night'. Now, the Ecuadorian team has requested the services of Uruguayan Diego Forlán to be part of this celebration.
The rival of Barcelona will be Juan Aurich from Chiclayo, who is already in northern lands. The match is scheduled for this Saturday at two o'clock in the afternoon at the Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo stadium. The team led by Wilmar Valencia will have their first international test.
Last Sunday, from Montevideo, Uruguay, the newspaper Ovación from that country interviewed Diego Forlán, who also announced that he is invited to the Barcelona celebration, where he will present his entire team.
With fanfare, Barcelona de Ecuador announced the presence of Diego Forlán for this edition of the 'Yellow Night'. The Uruguayan has won two UEFA Golden Boots in 2005 and 2008-2009, and was also awarded the Golden Ball during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
With the foreign reinforcements already familiar with their local teammates, Wilmar Valencia aims to become strong throughout the season. Juan Aurich will seek to position themselves in the top positions of the table, and the new signings Enzo Borges, Mauricio Mazzetti, and Marcelo Pappano promise to give their all on the field to bring more than one joy to the team from Chiclayo.
The first foreign reinforcement of Juan Aurich, Mauricio Mazzetti, highlighted the quality of players the club has. He also acknowledged that he and his teammates are committed to Wilmar Valencia's plans and objectives.
And not only that. In addition to the friendly match against one of the giants of Ecuador, Juan Aurich will play another friendly against Fuerza Amarilla Sporting Club, a team that made its debut in the Professional league in 2016 and qualified to play this year's Copa Sudamericana. The match will be held at the 9 de Mayo stadium in Machala, with a capacity for over 16,000 spectators.
