in dialogue with Talk Sportthe goalkeeper talked about his fleeting experience at Everton, which he arrived in mid-2019 to leave in 2020, without having played a minute with the ‘gold and sky’ shirt and with the social outbreak as a stage.
“I knew it would eventually go back to normal in terms of everything in the country, but that was also a factor in wanting to leave, I was a little scared when I was there,” Vigouroux said.
“People were protesting everywhere, I was seeing things on fire, people getting shot with rubber bullets.. You had to ask the police or the army if you could go to the supermarket and at what time, because they wouldn’t let you out at any time, we had a curfew, you had to be home at 7pm every night, no one on the streets”, added the goalie.
Lawrence Vigouroux, alone and far from his family
In addition to his concern about the context of the social outbreak, the goalkeeper was concerned about family that remained in England during his time at Everton.
He only spoke on the phone with his fatherwith whom he tried to explain what was happening in the streets of our country.
“I always say that a country is only as good as the people who live there. If you have a country that is full of people who don’t care about anything, the country will end up horrible. When you have people who care about other people and care about others who are less fortunate, it can only help the country as a whole.”Lawrence remarked.
“It was really moving to see that even though people were protesting and there were supermarkets on fire and things like that, the message was actually heard enough to change the constitution, which was something that nobody thought would happen,” he added. the Leyton Orient goalkeeper.
Finally, Vigouroux stressed the differences he found in Chile compared to England and the fear he felt during his time in Viña del Mar.
“You go from a place that is as free and as open as England to go there, where I didn’t even know the rights of the people. That was actually quite scary. She thought that if she had to go outside by accident, what would happen? Or if I came home late from somewhere, what can happen to me? That was pretty scary!” Lawrence Vigouroux said.
“People are not as rich as the people here, they don’t have as much money as the people here. It was actually really revealing to be there during that time,” the goalkeeper concluded.
