For example, the blue helmsman is clear about how to face this first challenge of the 180 minutes in question.
“With great respect as we have always done, but with great confidence in the opportunities we have to move forward.
And he added, “We hope our game triumphs, not so much the physical, but the good game and from there try to win the game. It’s the way I know, as long as you play well, you’re almost won. . “
Vázquez took the opportunity to comment on the visit of club president Eduardo Atala. “I always say there should be a union of the three legs: leaders, players and coaching staff. It’s good to talk to the president to be united, in harmony and with the same goal.”
In other respects, he also confirmed that he still has his captain. “Juan Pablo (Montes) is recovering, he is better, but he is still not training normally.”
Diego Vázquez is one of the coaches with the most semifinals in recent years and he does. “We try to enjoy it a lot, have a lot of realism, live in the present, but with a lot of responsibility, try to improve, give the player tools and see who is better. We had a normal week of work and happiness and positive fear of waiting for the game. “
His concept of Marathon sums it up like this: “It’s a team that won their group, we won the series with them, at Yankel and we tied it here. That gives us something positive, but it’s also because of the winning a group final and It comes from taking advantage of the emotional hangover the rival had. It’s a team that is emotionally strong, but we’re doing well. The good game is something we have to impose on ourselves “.
Nor does he believe that Marathon has the same proposition as against Olimpia. “We’ve taken out some of the details and maybe it doesn’t pose exactly the same way or it changes a player in a certain position, but the generalities of the team remain the same as the team we face in the rounds.
He also assures: “It’s a 180 minute run, you have to play it right no matter the game there or here. The game in Tegucigalpa is important and the other game will be the same, so we’ll consider it a 180 minute run. and it’s important to pass that on to the players. “
As for the situation of the format. “I said these new formats that were being implemented need to be experienced to know what they are like and what we’re all going through. I listen to everything there and a lot of impartiality when there are comments coming from one side and the other. .
Despite a good course in these last stages, the Motagua coach does not trust. “Experience is important because they don’t sell it to you in the pharmacy, but often it is knowing how to use them, at what time and in some cases it can be used, others not. It all depends on the outcome.”
Vázquez was consulted about the incident in the match between Olimpia and Marathón and assured: “He is very eloquent in the images and what happens speaks a thousand words and whatever many journalists hide or miss. They emphasize a team. And another no, there are statements that demonize them on the one hand and not the other. It’s something we’ve been living with for seven years, we already know and are used to it. There are times when we don’t even want to because it is very eloquent. An image is worth more what can be said. “
