Enner Valenica has defence following the bzarre events over the last few days which saw him chased by judicial officials and police during a World Cup qualifier in midweek.
Valencia appeared to fake an injury to flee police amid rows over unpaid child maintenanace, as he was stretchered off and taken out of the stadium in Quito, during his country’s 3-0 win over Chile in midweek.
He has now said: “”In relation to the events of the past few days, regarding the alleged breach of my obligations to my daughter Beira Valencia Pinargote, who is five years old, as a result of a series of comments without foundation, I feel the need to make the following clarifications, in order not only to clarify the facts, but to honour the image of my family and myself, both personally and professionally.
“Coming from a humble and hardworking family, who since childhood have helped me to face all manner of difficult things that have been present throughout my life, managing to achieve the goals I have, raised from helping my father, selling milk in the streets, to my beginning with Club Sport Emelec, to become a professional player, but above all to be a person guided by God, it has allowed me to develop attributes to form a stable and happy marriage with my wife Sharon and my daughters.
“However, I am currently facing several lawsuits initiated by Sinthyia Pinargote Chumo, which I perceive, they are aimed exclusively on matters of economic and personal gain, such as the demand for maintenance, presented in 2015, where I set the amount of thirty thousand dollars a month as alimony.
