We were alerted to the situation on Tuesday, when We wrote about Harold Aguilera.And here is a new case of alleged desertion from the Cuban national team preparing for the World Cup. Now the guardian is Leonardo Herrillo.
Already on Spanish soil (Huelva), where the same language as Cuba is spoken, the goalkeeper will have abandoned the focus of the national team, as revealed by Playoff MagazineAt the age of 20, Herrillo was a substitute for Cuba in the World Cup qualifiers.
The player was in good form against Portugal and Ukraine, the two matches that were held in the Viseu tournament, and decided to flee at the time when Cuba changed its training camp to the neighboring country of Spain.
Despite his escape from focus, satisfaction I was able to speak with the young guardian and the enlightening remarks: “I came to Spain to look for a better future. It was not planned. I spoke to a friend who lives here and he helped me.”
Explaining that he has not told anyone and that he has already spoken to his family, Leonardo Herrillo also admits that he is “very sad” not to be able to fulfill his dream of playing in the World Cup, but that “the future is more important”. For now, the steps will be to find a job, and then, when it is organized, try to play again.
