Ecuador vs Chile U-20 Championship Preview:
Talking about Chile first, they’re not going to this championship as favourites. They are set to face Ecuador in their opening game in Group B, which contains Bolivia, Uruguay, and Venezuela as the other three teams. However, they’re confident as they still got many good players and are eyeing to finish as one of the top four teams to seal their spot in the upcoming U-20 World Cup in Indonesia.
Chile Squad:
Vincent Reyes, Peter Garrido, Thomas Gillier, Yahir Salazar, Matias Vasquez, Marcelo Morales, Tomas Aviles, Sebastian Pino, Darko Fiamengo, Maicol Leon, Lucas Assad, Renato Cordero, Bryan Gonzalez, Joan Cruz, Christopher Castillo, Jeison Fuentealba, Martin Maturana, Diego Bones, Vicente Conelli, Manuel Lolas, Paul Guajardo, Dario Osorio, Gabriel Norambuena
On the other hand, Ecuador is going to this championship as defending champion and will be trying to have another championship campaign to remember after it won its first U20 South American Championship title in the previous edition (2019). It’s worth mentioning that four of their players Diego Palacios, Jackson Porozo, Gonzalo Plata and Leonardo Campana, who featured in the team of the tournament, earned moves to Europe or MLS.
That said, there are great expectations from this group of players to put up another good show and go as far in the championship as possible. However, like their opponent, they’ll first be looking to finish as one of the top four sides to book their place in the upcoming U20 World Cup.
