translated from Spanish: Brayan Cortés: “Ecuador is a strong team, with powerful players”

The goalkeeper of Colo Colo is not trusted by the goal suffered by the ‘Tri’ at the hands of Uruguay (4-0) in his first match in the continental contest by noting that “we know that Ecuador is a strong team, with powerful players, but we are calm We know we can win this game and with the conviction of going step by step.” On a personal level and specifically his time in the ‘Red’ in this continental event, the iquique farmer stated that “I am gaining experience and Gabriel Arias is a goalkeeper who has been advising me. The leaders of this team make many differences and help you every moment. The references are always encouraging you and that energy they convey for the younger ones is super important.” “I come to add experience, to enjoy and also to fight. I always think there’s more you can do. Arias is doing very well, we all know what he’s playing,” he added. Asked if the ‘Red’ is a favorite after the solid presentation to Japan, the former Deportes Iquique only just said that “the group is calm, it is very important to start winning, the group is united and strong”. Cortés also referred at the press conference in Salvador de Bahia to the physical state of Arturo Vidal, the offers that have come by his partner in the ‘Cacique’ Esteban Pavez and about Stefan Kramer’s video on “reconciliation” on the national team. On ‘King Arthur’ he stated that “he has been well, he has taken care of himself a little, but we know what he plays and that he will deliver everything on the court, while de Pavez noted that “he is calm, taking advantage of the selection”. Finally, on the parody of the unrealized reconciliation between Claudio Bravo, Marcelo Díaz, Gary Medel and Vidal, Cortés stated that “I watched the Kramer video and laughed a little, but we haven’t discussed it with the group.”
