La Selecta presented the official roster to face the three matches on the FIFA date in March, in which important figures who returned to wear the blue and white stood out, and controversy was also generated by the refusal of some players to return to the national team. Regarding the decision, Spanish coach David Dóniga assured “I am not going to beg any footballer, any of them.”
The names of Eriq Zabaleta and Alex Roldán have resonated in recent hours in Salvadoran soccer, after the refusal of Major League Soccer (MLS) players to wear the Cuscatleca jersey again.
“Both Eriq and Roldán have been summoned, and they have declined to come,” said the coach of the senior team and when asked about the players’ reasons for not playing the friendly matches, the Spaniard said that they will be the ones who must answer that question. .
Both players had their last meeting in September of last year, when the former La Selecta coach, Hugo Pérez, left the national team after the defeat against Trinidad and Tobago in the CONCACAF Nations League (LNC), at the Mágico González stadium. . Later, Rubén de la Barrera arrived to assume the role as helmsman.
After that and with the arrival of the former Spanish coach, both teams were not in the respective calls that De la Barrera made at the time to face Martinique.
Some of the comments that have emerged in the last few hours regarding the decision that both players made are related to the departure of the former national team coach, as an act of “loyalty” for and with former coach Hugo Pérez.
Alex Roldan and Eriq Zavaleta were initially called up to the blue and white by Hugo Pérez in 2021, but now with the players’ refusal, there is the question of whether their time with the team has ended.
