After the match, the purslane’s coach, Héctor Vargas, appeared at a press conference, where he believed certain important aspects would fall this way.
“The feeling of such a result always gives you the problem of not being able to justify the goal difference, in short, you have to recognize the merits of a team that has invested a lot of money in the number of players it has.”
And he added: “ What seemed a bit decisive to me was the first game that seemed to me to be sent away, as Castillo went straight to goal after 8 minutes and the referee only took yellow, there I get the impression that he you could. have changed the party, it was decisive “.
The Greens’ helmsman’s analysis showed that not scoring certain goals was part of this elimination against Portland.
“We ended the first half with the possibility of a goal being scored over the line, we also had to eliminate Castillo and Arriaga due to an injury. Later we know the economic superiority of this team and that was reflected on the scoreboard.”

We left San Pedro Sula at 4:00 am and arrived at 9:00 am. 00:00 am to Portland and you feel it when the results are bloated with fatigue, where you didn’t recover and those conditions arise ”.
And he acknowledges that, “I think we could have lost only five goals, even the goalkeeper covered two or three balls that could have been more.”
Vargas went a little further and believes that the last minutes reflected the physical exhaustion his managers had because of the demand they had in recent days.
“It shows in fatigue and when you have the importance of not repenting and you look for an action that puts you close to the scoreboard and you don’t make it, you feel the helplessness you show later with your attitude. goal gets stronger you or makes you feel that effort is in vain and you end up in a situation that is difficult to justify later This is how you get out of this, we know it is not easy to make a group who comes to compete. The effort on Tuesday, the weekend game, he travels and more this, was the reflection of the last minutes of this game ”.
And he concluded by saying, “If they beat you tactically, they make a difference in the first minutes. The great connoisseurs of this and Bilardo always said to us,” If I stop the team badly, the first minutes will overwhelm me and generate a goal. situations. and go down three. “
