The goalkeeper, recently called up to the national team by Ricardo Gareca, used his social networks to defend his appointment.
Lawrence Vigouroux uploads himself to social networks. The Swansea City goalkeeper, who was part of La Roja’s last call-ups, attacks the press. “If journalists want to say that I am not good enough for the national team, I understand it, because football is a game of opinions,” he said on his X account. “Do it with facts, not lies. I love our country and being called up is a dream for me,” he added in the same text. The goalkeeper’s accusations are surprising, because he is a player who generally does not speak much during his appearances in the country.
Over the past few months, the 31-year-old goalkeeper has managed to find a place in your club . He does it after years of bouncing around in various institutions, with unequal returns managing to be a starter in some clubs and a substitute in others. Almost all come from the United Kingdom, although he had a brief stay at Everton in Viña del Mar. Of course, in the Fifth Region team, he never managed to become a starter and left without making his debut.
As for the national team, its history is long. But he never wore the starting jersey either. He was first called up by Mario Salas for the 2013 South American Sub 20, where he replaced Darío Melo. He called the adult Roja Reinaldo Rueda at the time and now Ricardo Gareca. He didn’t play with anyone, yes. In fact, when he chose to include him in his appeal, Tigre admitted that he didn’t know much about him.
“I don’t know Vigouroux very well, if I’ve just seen him. But I trust the collaborating goalkeeper Bruno Vásquez, who has deeper knowledge. “His call is strictly linked to what I was able to observe, to what they were able to explain to me and to the knowledge that my collaborator has of the goalkeepers,” explained the coach.
