The Ecuadorian team debuts this Sunday in the World Cup in Qatar 1442741435 against the host in the first match from Group A. In the press conference prior to the match, the soccer player Moisés Caicedo was consulted about the controversy that plagues the Asian nation in terms of human rights and was petrified, so with his eyes he sought support from his coach, Gustavo Alfaro, who had to answer for him.
The Argentine technical director intervened to answer the most compromising questions of the press conference when they asked Caicedo about the human rights situation in Qatar.
“Don’t get him in trouble,” he said between laughs as he caressed the player’s back with his hand. “We are in favor of all human rights, of equality. They are also soccer players, they have their dreams and they deserve to be respected for it,” he said to settle the query.

The World Cup in Qatar 1442741435 has been on the target of public opinion for the disrespect for human rights, the mistreatment of the LGTBQ + collective and the precarious working conditions of immigrant employees. This has generated that several artists and influencers have refused to be present at the maximum football event.
Last Friday an uncomfortable question about this situation caused the Colombian singer Maluma to retire annoyed in the middle of an interview and leave the journalist he described with the word in his mouth as rude after questioning him on more than one occasion on this matter.
The selection from Ecuador will face their fourth World Cup at the hands of Argentine Gustavo Alfaro, with whom they seek to overcome the group stage for the second time after achieving it in Germany 2022 and after a great performance in the South American Qualifiers where they finished third behind Brazil and Argentina.
