The historic goalkeeper of La Roja, player of the World Cup in France in 1998, left Libertad de Loja in September, which he had managed to raise to the second category of Ecuadorian football. Now he’s crying out for a new opportunity.
Nelson Tapia is seeking a new opportunity to pursue his career as a technician. The emblematic goalkeeper of the national team, Universidad Católica and O’Higgins left Libertad de Loja in September, which the previous season he had managed to promote to the second category of Ecuadorian football. In September, he leaves the establishment. He had already achieved the same feat the previous year, when he led Guayaquil Sport in Serie B. This time, he suffered the same fate the following season.
However, the former goalkeeper is not giving up. Through his Twitter account, he sends a strong message asking for a new opportunity. Although he uses emoticons to express his position, the translation is obvious: “If you want to be champion, call me” . There are more signs: a Chilean flag, which indicates that the message is addressed to national clubs, and a telephone number, which indicates, precisely, that he expects to be contacted by this means .
The last part of the message does not even require interpretations. “I am in Quito “, he specifies, by way of geolocation.
