After the match ended, the Real Spain coach, Raúl ‘Potro’ Gutiérrez, made his estimate of how the collision and final score happened.
“That’s how the classics are, sometimes not the football you want, a lot of fighting, a lot of grit, accidents like the one we had today. They are matches defined by those moments. The team had started very well, we tried a to find a different formation than what we normally use and he gave us a goal. Mario is behind the two forwards which is valuable. Accidental goals always determine the game and I keep that fighting spirit that the team had, which he pushed that he tried until he found the tie. “
He also explained the new approach he presented against Marathon with two forwards, different from the strategy he used in previous games.
“Playing with two forwards gives you an offensive bonus. The team found slightly more offensive routes and it makes sense because if you play with only one attacker and one midfielder, there is a tendency for more half court.”
Also ‘Potro’ Gutiérrez referred to the loss of points suffered for not being able to win the classic sampedrano, and commented on the specific mistakes that cost them annotations.
“Against this team we played two games and we have four points. I saved the attitude of the team, they never dropped their arms, they tried to score the draw and if we had had a little more time we would have tried to turn the game around. In these kind of games we can’t make mistakes that can bring us goals, that’s right. They keep getting my full support, (Getsel) Montes, (Allans) Vargas. They have my full support, this is work and process. “

Within his analysis of the stakes, the Real Spain helmsman assured that his team did not deserve to lose and, in turn, regretted that his team could not translate their intention on the field by throwing an arrow at the rest of the Honduran clubs.
“I like to be superior to the rival, it’s what I love and work for. But this is a classic and I said the classics are different, sometimes there is little football, there is a lot of claw there. is a lot of dedication, a lot You win. Unfortunately we had games like that and we tried to adapt. We fell for all the teams here, just hit the ball to see if you can find something and the team adapted well. be happy because the team showed a reaction and Real Spain didn’t.
For his part, Gutiérrez argued that he is still looking for his ideal formation in the Machine, although he admits that playing with two forwards is his favorite move.
“I’ve always played with two forwards, historically I have always enjoyed playing with two forwards. We are examining the different opportunities we have and I think in this exercise to get to know the players and the positions better. a better restart in that sense. Playing with two forwards will always be more offensive and when we start to find the routes I like with two forwards, the team will have a different face. “
Finally, he commented on the scoring debut of Mexican Omar Rosas, who had to wait many games to celebrate his first score in Honduran football.
“About Omar we knew of that scoring ability and like all players he waited patiently and worked for the moment. The moment came for him and he took advantage of it as it should be. It came to him very well. For us it opens up different scenarios of participation of him and Rocca. Eventually they were seen on the scoreboard and that is valuable, we will continue to insist on those good times that every player is having. ”
