Thus, the blue helmsman is clear about how he will have to face this first challenge in the 180 minutes that will be in dispute.
“With great respect, as we have always done, but with great confidence in the possibilities we have to move forward.
And he added: “We hope to make our game prevail, not so much physically, but good game and from there we try to win the game. It’s the way I know, as long as you play well, you’re close to winning it.”
Vázquez took the opportunity to comment on the visit of the club’s president, Eduardo Atala. “I always say that there must be a union of the three legs that are: leaders, players and coaching staff. It’s good to talk to the president to be united, in harmony and with the same goal in mind.”
In other respects, he also confirmed that he still has his captain. “Juan Pablo (Montes) is recovering, it’s better, but he’s still not training normally.”
Diego Vázquez is one of the coaches with the most semifinals in recent years and he takes it that way. “We try to be very happy, to have a lot of realism, to live in the present, but with a lot of responsibility, we try to improve, to give the player tools and to see who is better. We had a normal week of work and happiness and anxiety. positive to wait for the game. “
His concept of the marathon is summarized as follows: “It’s a team that won its group, we won the series with them, at Yankel and we tied it here. That gives us something positive, but it also comes from winning a group final and it comes from taking advantage of the emotional hangover that the rival had. It’s an emotionally strong team, but we’re pretty good. From the good game we have to impose ourselves “.
He also does not believe that Marathón has the same proposal he made against Olympia. “We took some details and maybe it doesn’t look exactly the same way or it doesn’t make a change of a player in a certain position, but the generalities of the team remain the same with the team we face in rounds”
He also assures that: “It’s a 180-minute series, you have to play it well regardless of the game here or here. The game in Tegucigalpa is important, and the other game will be the same, so we take it as a series 180 minutes and it’s important to pass that on to the players. “
Regarding the format situation. “I said that these new formats that have been implemented need to be experienced to know how they are and what we all live. I hear about everything and a lot of impartiality when there are comments coming from both sides. We have to be more fair.” .
Despite the fact that he had a good route in these final stages, coach Motagua does not trust him. “Experience is important because I don’t sell it to you in the pharmacy, but often it knows how to use it, at what time and in some it can be used, others not. It all depends on the result.”
Vázquez was consulted about the incident in the match between Olimpia and Marathón and was assured: “He is very eloquent in pictures and what is happening speaks more than a thousand words and what many journalists hide or miss as well. They emphasize one team and not another, there are statements that demonize them on one side and not on the other, it’s something we’ve been living for seven years, we already know and we’re used to. There are times when we don’t even want to mention it for that it is very eloquent. An image deserves more than can be said. “
