Klever Caicedo He is a young Ecuadorian offensive player who signed for Barcelona SC a few weeks ago and that on Wednesday in the victory against Mushuc Runa He had his first minutes as a bullfighter player, leaving good feelings in the minds of the coaching staff.
His middle name is Ricardiñoas he prefers to be called, but unlike Portuguese, the origin of his name, where the phonetics of the Spanish letter ‘ñ’ is written with ‘nh’, his second name does visually use the Spanish consonant.
In the press conference after the victory over the Ambateño team, César Farías praised Caicedo’s actions and assured that the club did not have that type of characteristics in attack.
Likewise, he acknowledged that Europe sees Ecuador as the new source of world talent due to the physical capacity of its players, a distinction that at the time was granted to the African continent.
“A friend here told me that in the minors we didn’t have a player with those characteristics. And I hope you take what I’m going to say well, don’t call me a racist, but I know important people in Europe who say that the new Africa is Ecuador in terms of soccer players,” the Venezuelan said at a press conference.
“They say it because of the power, the skill and the fast-twitch muscle fiber that the dark player has. Today (Wednesday) two entered and it is noticeable. So, how could we not have that type of player?”, he added.
Regarding how they learned about Ricardiño’s qualities, Farías indicated that they saw some “very homemade” videos of the 21-year-old player during some tests he was doing.
“He was trying out in a professional club, I received some very homemade videos, which were not from any of these modern platforms, and we saw characteristics that we liked and that we do not have today on the attacking front. We had two days to sign and we had to take the risk; he already showed interesting things,” he concluded.
