Later, well, a series of condiments, thinking about the people, about my convictions, my love for this beautiful profession.
And the desire to learn a little more each day to enrich myself" (in Spanish: "Mi lema es la verdad y la ética por delante de todo Y luego, bueno, una serie de condimentos, pensar en la gente, en mis convicciones, el amor por esta profesión tan hermosa Y querer aprender un poquito más cada día para enriquecerme"). Magazine Conmebol Barraza served as chief editor of Magazine Conmebol until 2015, when CONMEBOL president Eugenio Figueredo decided to shut down the publication to reduce expense for the organization.
According to Ecuadorian newspaper El Universo, Magazine CONMEBOL was "considered a tradition of South American football" due to its 24-year history, publication in three languages (Spanish, English, and Portuguese), and the recognition it received from the specialized world football news reporting media. During the upheaval caused by the 2015 Fédération internationale de football association corruption case, Barraza and other former workers of Magazine Conmebol denounced CONMEBOL due to its discriminatory and abusive treatment.
The same as in CONMEBOL" (In Spanish: "En algún momento sentimos orgullo de pertenecer a esa universal organización, hoy somos felices de no estar Lo mismo que en Conmebol").
Other work Aside from his contributions in Spanish sports media, Barraza has also served as a journalist for Japanese sports publications World Soccer Magazine and Internacional Press.
