It was rigged in Barranquilla. Carlos Gruezo Arboleda, midfielder for the Ecuador team since 2014 (several times as captain) and two-time World Cup player (Brazil-2014 and Qatar-2022), got used to the country where his wife from Barranquilla, Teranyely Molina, brought him .
Here he relaxes and unwinds, just like any other workman. “I feel very good here, it is my second home. “I am always happy here and enjoy this beautiful city and its inhabitants,” he said in dialogue with EL HERALDO.
Gruezo, who has two years left on his contract with the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer (MLS), in the United States, is on vacation, sharing with his son, Johansell Gruezo; his wife’s family and with all the footballer friends he meets every December during all the matches he is invited to.
“I’ve been calm, with friends. I mainly went to some game to meet people, make new friends and enjoy this beautiful country,” he confirms.
One of the things Gruezo enjoys most when he is in Barranquilla is watching Junior play at Metropolitan Stadium. He does not lose sight of the Caribbean team and wears the red and white jacket with love and great enthusiasm. He was present at the recent engagements of ‘Tiburón’ in ‘la Arenosa’. They even captured him on the ‘kiss cam’ next to his wife, who was a cheerleader for Junior and Queen of Reinas del Carnaval 2013 and represented the Las Moras district.
“Every time I’m here I try to go to the stadium, enjoy it, have that space, I like watching football and I have a great appreciation for Junior, the whole family is junior. I like to live in that space, I don’t have the opportunity to do it all year round and I take advantage here to see Junior, who became champion this year,” says Carlos, who did not express his desire to become a shark hides. day.
“That title was a great joy for the family and the city. I hope at some point to be part of that institution and win a Libertadores or a Sudamericana,” said the 28-year-old midfielder.
The name of this World Cup player has been heard among Junior’s owners, but nothing has been finalized yet.
“There have been approaches from both parties, with Ricardo Pachón (player agent), a good friend of mine and my representative. I think my name was mentioned at the time, but no, we’re still waiting. Let’s hope that at some point that can happen and nothing more, continue to enjoy this beautiful city, this beautiful team and, if it happens, the experience of playing in Junior”, he stressed in this regard.
Regarding the capture of the tenth star, he notes that the red and white players “hold the hand of God. Because of the way they came in and the way they ended, they are under the gaze of God, they are things of God. The efforts of the players, technical staff and managers were ultimately rewarded. I believe in football it’s not about earning, it’s about doing, and I think they did the job they had to do.”
