Osman Madrid, leader of the Olympiad and one of the white box strongmen assured they decided to play at home on Thursday because they have too many injured players and have not had a rest. Calls on Marathon that of the hand.
“That’s why we respect the decisions of the Marathon Club (to play the return leg on Saturday) and the rules are clear. You know how many games we’ve played. We played that time at 3am in San Pedro Sula (group final) and came from Orlando to compete at 8 degrees. We have to play in equal circumstances, we are at a disadvantage because of injuries because of all the problems, but we just plan our game and wait for the return game ”, started Osman Madrid.

The representative of the albos in the National League and Fenafuth, defends the position and clarifies that they have the necessary reasons to make the change to Thursday, even though the League had asked to play Wednesday and Saturday.
“We were not classified for the final. The League should see that, but we weren’t sure on Saturday. Those of us inside are the ones who know how the team is doing. Yesterday a few more injured players came out and they are human beings and they need to recover in order to compete. We want to have a few days off to compete on an equal footing. The rules are clear, we are the team that has got the most points and we will be dealing with a club that has made merits and we both have the right to assign each other the rules and plan the game when we do. consider necessary “.
Then go on. “It’s up to us to play as a home team on Thursday. The league has programmed us matches like the one we lost 4-2 to Honduras Progreso. We played on Thursday and Saturday. It is complicated by football if the facilities are not yours. We are only asking for our game before Thursday and Marathón can play well on Sunday, I think ”, Osman told the Meridiano Deportivo program in Freedom Radio.
Olimpia will not move his side, although the League will make the decision. “I don’t know, you have to leave those things to God, he is the only one who can lay his hand. Everyone knows that Olimpia is right, it comes from playing a lot of games and fair play exists. The League must remember that we are going to represent Costa Rica in national football. They can’t force us, we’ll play four finals on Wednesday, Sunday, Thursday, Sunday before playing a final in 14 days. It’s complicated ”.

He complained about the tough schedule they had and that has injured them 11 players to this day. “You can’t play a team, someone who plays that competes internationally. What Olimpia has done in this number of games, they cannot, with injuries and many things. Now we have nine players out and now two more have been added. You have to standardize on this. I won’t, but they have to be honest that they respect our local condition, because we want to play on Thursday. I think Marathon can play on Sundays, it’s just that there is will. We request the schedule from the Competition for Thursday, we are not moving, Thursday at 7:00 am ”.
TRAVEL PROBLEMS TO COSTA RICA
Osman Madrid explained that Olimpia also has a difficult problem as they cannot find plane tickets to travel to Costa Rica to compete against Alajuelense for the Concacaf League semi-finals and only offer them a charter flight which is expensive.
“Now we can’t find a place to travel to Costa Rica to play the game in Costa Rica. They offer us a charter to travel and that costs a lot of money. We have to see how we program it, because it costs a lot of money to leave early to go to Costa Rica, because the money that Concacaf gives is not adapting. We see how we fix everything, but we want to fix this for the final and then the trip to Costa Rica, ”he said.
RESPOND TO DIEGO VÁZQUEZ
Olimpia’s sports vice president responded to Diego Vázquez who complained that the balls were hidden from him in Sunday’s game. Osman says the albos are not used to such things.
See, that’s a question. Have you seen the biosafety protocol? Those people should be congratulated. We haven’t had as many problems as in Guatemala, who have retired four or five times in the tournament. We have had no problems and we must congratulate the Medical Commission. The balls were in the cones and every time it passes the Olympic track, they have to be disinfected. We don’t hide balls, but if they tell us everything, they can tell us what they want. There are things one cannot control. Olimpia will continue to strive for good teams, compete, we have no control over what X or Y person says, ”said Madrid.
Finally he explained, “We are so concerned. When a team takes to the field, the work that has to be done before all protocols are met is tirelessly of a large number of people, that the bar doesn’t come and a problem arises, that nothing happens to anyone. It is not easy and there are things that cannot be controlled and God can control them first ”.
