Coach of the national under-23 team in Honduras, Miguel Falero, who will compete at the Olympics, spoke about the rivals he will face in Tokyo and clarified the goals that are set to make a good presentation and to go to the competition.
Falero was clear, he does not want to trust the names of rivals who on paper are not a power like Romania, South Korea and New Zealand, these are the most dangerous. He also explained that there are 18 players who will eventually go and will be strengthened, but it could be minimal and not all three, because they want to give priority to the group that has qualified.
Clock. THE CALENDAR THAT HONDURAS WILL DO IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Rivals of the Olympic Games: “We were careful to draw lots to get to know the groups, we were watching early on who will touch us, we knew it would be difficult when we saw drums, but any of them would be complicated, because the competition was very difficult. The 16 places where 185 nations have fought to be in the party, as we say regularly, want to be in this place. We know that Romania, as well as New Zealand and South Korea will be difficult, because there was a previous filter to reach the competition. “
The major theme of reinforcement: “The idea is to keep the group that qualified as much as possible, it is very dynamic like any contagion and injury and, if the tournament were today, it would force us to make three changes; because Denil Maldonado, Arriaga and Rosales would not The organization would not be available to us Yes, we bring three majors, we have the power to write 3 majors On May 20 we can write 50 names, four goalkeepers and 2 officials Nothing prevents me from putting a complete list that I used We talked to some senior players according to Fabián Coito, we have the idea to register footballers to contribute, and those who come will be due to performance or injury.The lists will say the hours and the health problem will be the one that will define final list on July 1. We will start working on the first microcycle on July 17. “
Study: How far do you think HONDURAS will go in TOKYO?
Friendly and microcycles: “There will be previous work with people without a team, there will be group work before the first microcycle and if there will be friendly to close each training. The idea is to arrive with international matches and watch with different teams in Korea and Japan to adapt. “Some players will stay out of the local championship and others will play in the semifinals. It will be important to be in competition.”
The idea is to go to the competition: “Nothing prevents us from dreaming, we want to make the best possible presentation and overcome the difficulties. It will not be easy, there is strength in the 16 teams that go to the Olympics, not in vain those who started the race were 185 and now we are 16. The idea is to stay as high as possible. “
The first goal; go to the next step: “Football has things of yesterday, we can’t forget history to make future programs, but football is today. If we play well in Tokyo we can move on, we have to make our own history, but we can’t adapt to previous situations because they are other footballers and another coach. “
Players to consider: “On May 20, we delivered a list of 50 with 4 goalkeepers and two officials that Fenafuth has, in that group are the elders. All the players like Jorge Álvarez, Carlos Pineda, Joshua Canales, enter that list, they were right in The final list of the pre-Olympics I can’t predict any list because anyone can increase their performance and become a starter There are no more 20 than in the pre-Olympics, now there are 18 players, instead of growing, taking distance, they will fight. you will have more walking options and the idea is that the competition that exists between the 50 players on the first list, there is that healthy competition to increase the level and depending on what we see in microcycles, make a final list that leads us let’s face this tough tournament. “
How to deal with rivals: “The idea is to maintain the essence and to maintain the essence you have to have a defined group, that’s why the base is important, except that Romania and South Korea have very different countermeasure systems. We would like to play with the same thing. saw the team play well in the pre – Olympics, so that it would be the starting point “.
About rivals and what he studied: “Always, first: we work together with Fabián Coito, we each have a midfielder, just like Arnold Cruz, José Reyes, the video people, we are a working group that is constantly helping each other. Previously, we all have to be in the League of Nations There will be a joint work, I added it and it was one of the reasons and I think we will have a very good job. As for the rivals, so far, they have just been appointed, he will start talking to the video analyst to analyze it because the material will help us, because it is a job that we will do with Gastón González, our video analyst, because in this way we power the computer so that there is a minimum margin of error “.
Program adaptation system: “It is played every three days, the time zone is different, when everyone sleeps here we train there. For the best performance, it depends on the games we will have in preparation and it all depends on the organization.”
Do not leave the ends free: “The idea is to register up to 50 people, depending on performance and based on those who participated in the pre-Olympic. We want to take advantage of previous work and depending on performance, because from one tournament to another, such as Pan American Games and the pre-Olympic Games, there were players who couldn’t repeat, and if the tournament starts tomorrow, they wouldn’t have Denil Maldonado, Joseph Rosales and Kervin Arriaga because they’re injured, so it’s possible to have older people. it can strengthen ”.
Consolidation departments: “At the moment I can’t tell you because I don’t know until I give the final list, but there is the possibility to register it, I can use one, two or none. This depends on the performance when I deliver the final By regulation, can take four substitutes, because if there is discomfort, a contagion that prevents him from playing, we can use the four substitutes.The older ones can be included in the final list, but can not replace any injured, so do not dare to I say name, because performance will be difficult. “
Rivals are not reliable: “I am delighted with the working group to be able to do something important and nothing prevents us from dreaming because we do not know what will happen. Rivals are very difficult, there will be a lot of competition, there will be a lot of categories. We will not beat Romania, we must In the game, we have a compact group. Often the expression, the team on the field is what the coaches ask for, it is out of respect for the ball and the field, but I am clear that it will be difficult because I have this joy in Mayor where there are jobs because with this seriousness we will face the rivals we will have. “
Fan feels a relief with rivals: “What I’m telling you is that each team has won its place and both Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Mexico, due to their way of playing, impose respect, but the player is motivated only by playing against them. But these teams with which We are facing are extremely dangerous, they will see the rival on the field.These teams because they are called Romania and not Germany, it has nothing to do with it, South Korea is a power. I don’t think we ‘re going to get a team. I think we can go and play a role, but we can’t trust ourselves because Argentina, Brazil and Germany don’t play for us in the group. “
Final message to journalists: “Nothing favors us to believe that we are better than others, we are no less than anyone else, we fight in the Pre-Olympic, the team saves the team. It is not good to say how much the U-23 player deserves, who disperses, we see that the individuals teams contribute to the team, no single player can serve the team. “
