Gonzalo Plata returns to action this Tuesday (31), in the match between Ecuador and the Netherlands, in a friendly as preparation for the World Cup. Coach Sebastián Beccacece has already defined Ecuador’s starting lineup for the match, with the Flamengo player among the starting 11.
Gonzalo Valle; Alan Franco, Ordóñez, Félix Torres, Willian Pacho and Estupiñán; Moises Caicedo and Pedro Vite; John Yeboah, Gonzalo Plata and Enner Valencia.
A Flamengo forward, Gonzalo Plata comes into the match with confidence against the Netherlands. That is because the player started in the 1-1 draw against Morocco and provided the assist for John Yeboah’s goal, preventing an Ecuador defeat.
Plata is going through an uncertain moment at Flamengo. In addition to being unable to establish a run under Leonardo Jardim, the Ecuadorian is involved in off-field issues that have not pleased the club’s board or the fans.
Thus, after having some episodes exposed in the media, Plata decided to remove photos wearing the Flamengo shirt from his social media, leaving only the one with the Libertadores trophy. Finally, the forward also unfollowed the club.
The match will be broadcast on Disney+ via streaming. In addition, Coluna do Fla will follow the match in real time on social media, keeping fans informed about every detail of the game involving the Rubro-Negro forward.
Like Ecuador, the Dutch national team has also been named for this Tuesday’s (31) friendly. Therefore, coach Ronald Koeman will send the Netherlands onto the field with the following names: Flekken; Dumfries, Aké, Van Dijk and De Vrij; Schouten, Timber and Xavi Simons; Malen, Cody Gakpo and Brian Brobbey.
