Sandy Sánchez left his team’s concentration in Houston and became the fifth footballer to leave the Caribbean team in the tournament being played in the United States.
Minute 60 of the duel between Canada and Cuba. The Caribbean lose 3-1 and as they were already eliminated, it was decided to give those who were on the bench a chance. It was then that Nelson Johnston replaced Sandy Sánchez not knowing what was going to happen next.
The guard has disappeared. He did not return to the hotel of concentration and very quickly we learned that he had deserted the delegation of his country and thus joined the four other footballers who also left the team on the first date of the tournament which is played in the United States.
Sanchez’s decision this becomes the twentieth breakout that players make in said tournament and it becomes a sad record, because never in the history of this competition have five people escaped in the same year . Moreover, he becomes the second goalkeeper to perform this act after his colleague Arael Argüelles who did it in 2015.
And there could be six, since the international media also speak of the abandonment of a doctor who was part of the delegation. Moreover, this event has not been officially reported. However, Sánchez could be the last to make the drastic move as the Cubans were knocked out of the tournament. and his record was pretty poor: he lost all three games, conceded nine goals and could only score three times, but all his celebrations came on twelve steps.
Of course, these numbers coincide with the islanders’ all-time records in the Gold Cup, where they have three wins, two draws and 24 losses. Moreover, said country did not classify the 2017 version and in In 2019, they recorded their worst performance by not scoring and losing 7-0 against Mexico, 3-0 against Martinique and 7-0 against Canada.
Now we will have to see what will happen with Sánchez’s future, since the man started at Atlético Pantoja in the Dominican League and it is not certain that he will return to this country. Most likely, he will stay in the United States with his colleagues Roberney Caballero, Neiser Sandó, Denilson Milánes and Jassael Herrea.
