Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo was pleased with what he saw from his Ecuador side during their World Cup qualifying match last night against Venezuela.
However, El Futbolero have now claimed that his point of view actually disagrees with what a number of his nation’s supporters thought after the game.
Caicedo was one of the stars of the 0-0 draw last night, as he looked to take his club form from Stamford Bridge straight into international duty.
He was joined as a starter by Kendry Paez, who had one of his more quiet games in the electric start to his career so far.
Ecuadorian national media seemed to be very critical of manager Felix Sanchez for his inability to get the three points last night.
Caicedo disagrees with Ecuador fans
This opinion was echoed by national team fans on social media, however it doesn’t seem as if Caicedo held the same view.
He instead was pleased with what he saw from his side, although El Futbolero have questioned his claims.
He said: “It was a difficult match, but it is an important point. The truth is we are happy with the team, we know that sometimes the ball doesn’t go in, we are very happy because they didn’t score goals against us.”
This was followed with the Ecuadorian site saying: “What was mentioned by the Chelsea player is something that disagrees with the opinion of fans, who after the match, through social networks, expressed their disagreement with the game that Ecuador had, especially pointing out the coach Felix Sanchez as the person most responsible for not being able to play well.”
There will now be a bit more pressure on Chelsea’s record signing and his country when they host Chile in the next World Cup qualifier late on Tuesday night.
After an initial three point deduction, they currently sit in 6th in the table for those hoping to make it to North America in less than three years’ time.
