Miguel Falero, technician of the Sub-23 from Honduras, the debut in the Pre-Olympic in Guadalajara seen Haiti and raised his voice to complain about the meeting time (1.30 pm).
Falero did not want to give any clues about his starting 11, but he did refer to the idea of the game he wants to implement in this meeting.
He also talks about the rival’s virtues and how complicated the Caribbeans have been for the Bicolor.
Can you tell us a bit about what Honduras will present to Haiti?
We focus on doing an overall assessment and confirming an order where it would help us reach the rival goal. The first is to get everything back from the journey, put order, work the passing line, and give solvency to the defense block. We have been working in a field that will be very fast, we will try to wear out the rival with possession and be aggressive.
What do you ask from your players?
We must have a high peak, order. Trying to emphasize the virtues of the players can give us the result. It will not be an easy game, unfortunately at an inappropriate time, something that I did not understand as a seed. That will lead to wear and tear in the first game, so we’ll take it into account and try to be superior by being very orderly in retrieving the ball and then trying to be vertical or making good circulation to try hurt the opponent.
Do you think it will affect the climate problem, bearing in mind that the rival is the Caribbean?
I think so. Not only because it does not favor us, but also the rival. I don’t understand why a seeded player doesn’t play a second hour. But it’s an aspect to overcome, in the event of adversity, nothing but coming together to defeat it. That means we have to take a different approach, but with the same desire to win the game. The rival will have that difficulty, the floor and the heat will be the same for both.
How much has your preparation changed while playing at 1.30pm?
There must be an explanation, I don’t think it is something whimsical, the organization is in good hands. For a valid reason we play at 1.30 pm. I can’t go out like I planned because it’s not the same to run at 1,500 meters at 1:30 p.m. against a rival who is used to the sun, you have to try to come up with a different strategy to finish running the 90.
How is Rigoberto Rivas?
There is positive news about Rigoberto’s recovery. We spoke yesterday and the blow was only mild. He’s made good games, he’s having a good time and it’s essential because we are betting with 19 players for the first two games and it will be important to the contribution because of how he is as a person and the theme of his career.
You already have the starting 11, is there an ace up your sleeve?
We don’t have ace in store, we do have players with great moments. I’ve defined the 11, but I’d like to wait until the last minute to offer it because there are always surprises, but we’re good. There is a great equality in the group that causes this wonderful problem of choosing between one and the other.
What do you know about Haiti? Is it an advantage that they don’t have Inter Milan’s Christopher Attys?
Haiti is a strong rival. The Caribbean issue has cost us, with Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago it has been difficult for us. They have that link with French football, they have a good team, nine players are active abroad; four in France, two in Spain, in Italy, Denmark, that means when they put together a good group, they make a good team. I don’t enjoy the trouble they have in goal with one of the goalkeepers because of documentation issues or with Attys who is a good player, but that’s what we have to do.
