Paraguayan footballer Julio Enciso confessed that he had to stand up to Tony Bloom, the president of Brighton in England, the club that owns his pass, to obtain the corresponding permission to be able to be with the Paraguayan National Team at the Paris Olympic Games.
“The president told me that I had to be in Japan doing the preseason, but I said no, please, that I wanted to be with my national team, that I should be able to represent my country in the Olympic Games, which is a privilege. I never lost hope,” said the youth player from La Libertad to the media before his trip to France to join the Paraguayan delegation.
“Being in the national team is a privilege, in fact it has been in the works for a while. I had been talking to my club, I talked to my coach as well. Obviously it was a bit difficult because they also wanted to count on me, because we have a new coach. It was a joint effort, including the APF that made the arrangements,” he added.
The “Joya” made it clear that he does not see this chance to wear the Albirroja again as revenge, but rather as an opportunity to raise Paraguay to the top.
“I don’t know if I would call it revenge, being in the national team is a great privilege, being in the national team is a source of pride. Obviously there are three results: defeat, victory and a draw. We didn’t do well in the Copa América, but this is football and things can be turned around,” he stressed.
“I am very happy, I am always willing to be in the national team. I will always do everything to be there and the truth is that this is what happened and I am very happy,” he explained.
