A new game against the ugly rival

Motagua, a deferred rival
“There is that euphoria against them that they are well armed, we have a certain advantage that we are more compact, but we have to work hard, the one who makes the fewest mistakes will be the one who will win. “

Is there a lot of Olympia’s superiority over the other teams?
“Olimpia is in a way a club that has invested, that always wants to be champion, we have a great team and those who came feel good and it is the advantage over the other teams that not so many players leave, we have the same DT and teammates, it is the advantage of having a solid team that makes it difficult for them to score a goal ”.
Are they better at El Clásico than Motagua and are they three times candidates for the championship?
“We are good, solid, very strong and we won the first games, we are in privileged places and that gives us the incentive to win the match and getting the victory against Motagua we take an important step over the others, the other rival I see that it is Real Spain that has strengthened well and we beat him at home, so he gives us guidance that we are better. “

“I am always ready, I told the professor (Troglio) that I have no problem going to the bank and that when he gives me the opportunity, I will take advantage of it, I am grateful for his trust, whether he is a holder or not. I feel good here and I have teammates who do well as captain Ever (Alvarado) and Javier Portillo.
