After a difficult year in which he lost his father, the Argentinian coach Pedro Troglio is pleased with title 32 of the Olympiad. But you’re already thinking about it Alajuelense League, this Wednesday’s rival in the semi-finals of Concacaf League.
Transfers: Olimpia confirms resignation, Motagua closes new signing and “Chino” López is news
The quarterback Albo spoke about the championship won in the Apertura 2020, about what he felt then Justin Arboleda he scored in the Yankel and the hegemony shaken off the Motagua.
He also spoke about his future and the group he has managed to form in the meringues since his arrival in June 2019.
He has come to Honduras to lift the title …
Well, grace has been given to God. The truth is, this was very difficult, we were almost unbeaten, but we got the title. We are doing a good campaign and are now enthusiastically going against Alajuelense on Wednesday.
Arboleda’s target took them away under pressure?
We were calm in the first half. In the second half, just like the first fifteen minutes, they didn’t arrive, but they had the ball and with Yustin’s goal we played calmer and more relaxed.
That felt?
A relief because a three goal difference is much more difficult than two. You always leave one goal in the game, three no longer. We got it and we won again.
How does this championship taste, taking into account what you have personally experienced?
Very strong for Diego (Maradona) and for my father who lost them this year (2020), for my mother who is far away, my children who are far away. My wife is here, she’s dealing with everything we’ve fought for, an impressive team that played every three days in an incredible way.
Does this medal have anything special?
They all have something special, be it the World Cup or local. Every trophy won has an inexplicable feel to it and is crammed into the best spots.
What did you feel when they carried you in your arms?
The retaliation from a team that has given me so much and that I am grateful for representing me on the field as I please.
Portillo says he’s like a father who takes care of them …
I love them as kids, I try to make sure everything I have to say is private. Don’t show anything, the boys represent me well.
His resume continues to grow. Has Pedro Troglio been in Olympia for a while?
Yes, I have a contract until May. The club wants to meet with us and we’ll see how this story continues.
Do you want to stay in the club?
Yes I am great in Honduras. My family is happy, the truth is I was not wrong to accept and I am very happy.
Looking back on its arrival in 2019, how much has Troglio changed?
When you start to play with this intensity and win, your skill grows and you improve, but I also have to admit that we created a really fun group atmosphere. We have practically only played the two finals with Hondurans from the start and that is already a progress for us as the boys are growing.
Does it feel better to go to Costa Rica as a champion?
Imagine if you lose the championship you will arrive depressed, but we will arrive with all the mental impulses and we will hit it with everything.
Does it fit with all complete equipment?
Let’s see how they got there, but before that we go with everything.
Do you want to celebrate a two-time championship year?
Winning the Concacaf Cup would also be a great goal, but with seriousness and responsibility we will be on the road with all will on Wednesday.
Which player does he keep from the final?
It’s very difficult, if you play really well it’s because you have a good team by your side. But what undoubtedly happened to him as a result of an irregularity committed is the Patón Mejía, today he is at its peak.
It ended Diego Vázquez’s hegemony as Motagua beat Olimpia wherever he went …
They changed the format and the team showed that format has nothing to do with it, whoever wins has to do it and thank goodness we won. Whoever wins all matches is the champion, there is no valid format.
