From Enconcado to Salsa Choke: Preparations for Ecuador vs. Colombia

The Tri is more than just football. Before their trip to Colombia, funny moments featuring the players went viral.

After the extravagant celebrations some Colombians enjoyed during the tribute to Carlos Vives at the Latin Grammys, it was time for football festivity.

Coming from Barranquilla, the salsa choke served as the backdrop to the match between Ecuador and Colombia. Both national teams not only share a passion for this catchy dance, but also demonstrate progress in football.

Before the clash, or rather the football fiesta, several publications went viral on social networks. EXPRESSIONS brings you the highlights.

Even as a model, Piero Hincapié is a pro. The player tried on one of La Tri’s most historic jerseys – the one that secured Ecuador their first World Cup qualification, namely the Korea-Japan 2002 jersey. What a legendary shirt! After being photographed, he showed off some salsa choke moves in the room he shared with Plata, and the video went viral.

Good food and good company were the perfect mix to enjoy their training camps. The La Tri players were surprised by Gonzalo Plata’s mother, who, dressed in an apron and a hairnet, prepared for them what we call ‘enconcado’. A perfect dish to make sure none of them pass out while training! Will they call him for Master Chef after this delicacy?

With spirits high but no jokes, this is how Jeremy Sarmiento is feeling as he debuts a new look. Apparently it’s a good luck charm. There is no doubt that he has the audacity to make extreme changes. Is he closing a chapter? His beard remains unchanged, so no excuses for not keeping an eye on him every time he takes the field. Although on Instagram, some fans are begging for him to let his curls grow out.

After La Tri’s training session at the Monumental Stadium, Barcelona player Byron Castillo took the opportunity to reconnect with his teammates. ‘The Youngest’, as he is known, took a respectful photo with them for Instagram. After dealing with the legal drama regarding his nationality, the camaraderie with the boys remains intact.
