Adé was the last one mentioned by Albo to his team. The regulations support that he can postpone matches. What did Alcácer say?
The postponement of the start of the LigaPro brought a headache to Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito. That decision, which caused the tournament to begin on March 1, had the consequence that the championship will not stop on the next FIFA Date. El Albo has five calls to national teams and could lose weight in Phase 1.
The last to join the list of those called up was Ricardo Adé, who received the call from Haiti. The defender is the great figure that the Central American country has and was a fixture in the call. In total, the defender has played 36 games representing his nation and has even become team captain.
In addition to Adé, the King of Cups will also not be able to count on Grabiel Villamil, summoned to Bolivia, nor with Jan Hurtado, who was summoned by Venezuela. And this Thursday they also found out that Alexander Domínguez and Oscar Zambrano, who received the call from Félix Sánchez Bas to join La Tri, will not be there.
Now, the LigaPro regulations offer him a possibility: postpone the games since he fulfilled five calls to national teams. In this case, the matches against Libertad (Wednesday 19/13) and Barcelona (Sunday 24/3) could be postponed.
The leadership led by Isaac Alvarez has not yet commented on the decision that LDU will make regarding the next matches of Phase 1. Although it would do so in the next few hours… Of course, the fourth date will be played during the week.
Adé was summoned by Haiti.
What did Josep Alcácer say?
This Thursday, before Ecuador’s list for the friendlies against Guatemala and Italy is released, Josep Alcácer referred to the possibility of requesting a postponement of the LigaPro matches. Although the Spaniard commented that any decision he makes will have a negative result for LDU.
«We are all prepared for the big game on Saturday. Whatever happens we will be harmed, if we decide not to postpone the day we will have players who will not be available like Hurtado and Villamil because they will be with their national team and if we postpone it we would be loading the calendar very full of games, between March and April we would have 16 games which would make it very difficult, it was a bad idea to place double competition with FIFA Date, even more so with the away games,” the coach stated.
«We are waiting to know how many players we will not have in this break, officially we have two but in Ecuador there will surely be someone else selected. We will have to evaluate the options even if they harm us, until the number comes out we will not be able to determine one thing or the other,” he added.

The possible changes
In the event that Liga de Quito makes the decision to play the games against Libertad and Barcelona, Josep Alcácer will have to make three mandatory changes to his ideal scheme. The thing is that Gabriel Villamil and Jan Hurtado are players who, until now, were used as spare parts.
For Alexander Domínguez he has Gonzalo Valle, who joined after the relegation of Guayaquil City. To replace Ricardo Adé he has Richard Mina, who always delivered when it was his turn to replace the Haitian. And for Oscar Zambrano he has Joseph Espinoza, who returned to Albo after his time at Emelec.
