Agustín Delgado advocates for the selection of Jordy Caicedo and Djorkaeff Reasco to the Ecuadorian national team based on their strong performances in club football.
Agustín Delgado, a legendary goal scorer for the Ecuadorian national team, has expressed his support for Jordy Caicedo and Djorkaeff Reasco to be selected for the 'Tricolor' national squad under coach Sebastián Beccacece. He highlighted Caicedo's impressive performances in Argentina's Huracán and Reasco's consistent goal-scoring ability for Independiente del Valle, emphasizing the importance of rewarding players who are currently excelling in their clubs.
Delgado noted that both players have shown significant talent and are in strong form, which is essential for national team selection. He mentioned that Caicedo's experience has been bolstered during his time in Argentina, and this could greatly benefit the national team as they prepare for the World Cup in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The emphasis on current performance reflects a pragmatic approach toward team selection, prioritizing form over past achievements.
The support from Delgado, who has a respected voice in Ecuadorian football, could influence the decisions within the national team’s management. With a focus on selecting players who are actively contributing at a high level in their domestic leagues, it sets a precedent for meritocracy in selection processes ahead of major international tournaments.
