Félix Sánchez Bas, technical director of the national team, confirmed on Wednesday morning that Ecuadorian goalkeeper Pedro Ortíz will not be included in the list of players called up for the upcoming Copa América.
With an unconvincing explanation of why he left out the best goalkeeper in the national championship, the Spaniard has emphasized that he already has enough for that position and therefore there is no doubt when choosing.
«Pedro Ortiz is also a goalkeeper that we have been following, but we think that due to the trajectory that we have been taking, what we are going to need and the knowledge that we have of them, we are going to opt for this option: obviously discard Pedro Ortiz. In future call-ups (perhaps) because as they say, he is having a good season. It is a position in which we do not have doubts, it is that I think that we have a lot and good to choose from, welcome; obviously I have to make the decision in this case,» said Félix Sánchez, in a conversation shared with some journalists.
Pedro Ortiz has a present of excellence, with the best averages of all the goalkeepers who play in national football; however, for Sánchez Bas, the important thing is to continue maintaining the same group of goalkeepers who have been working with the tricolor for some time.
