As the resident “expert” on Ecuadorian futbol (currently writing this from Quito), I’ll add the only bit of color commentary I really know about Independiente del Valle.

Su principal disciplina es el fútbol, su pl... In any case, crossing my fingers that Idrissi and Gattoni can mix things up for us a bit. Seems silly to lose this match! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.monchismen.com/t/2023-sevilla-fc-preseason-friendly-chats/1856)._
