Jorge Pineda, Monstruo’s technical assistant, believes that Motagua took advantage of their local status and that they will have to do it in the return match.
“I think that each team should take advantage of their local status and we, by obligation, must get the result in San Pedro Sula. Today we were not as the teacher had planned in the game, but there are circumstances that appear in the game, a penalty with one hand that, at the time it was done, the game was in regular process and the second goal was a disengagement.
This is how Jorge Pineda thinks: “We were strong in Yankel and we are going to show it, this group is waiting for more. It is true that we did not play a great game, but we have the obligation to play a game good in San Pedro Sula “.
He also believes that the fatigue against Olympia weighed them down. “We come from playing two games against Olimpia and I think in a way there was some rest for Motagua. I think the team tried in some moments of the game, but we lacked the cold in the last quarter of Motagua. They had good results in San Pedro Sula, but it is also true that against this team we are also national champions. “
He also anticipates: “2-0 is traceable, believe me. We will not go crazy wanting to do things that are not what the teacher will tell the players, but to do what is necessary and we must look for the result. it’s an adverse result and it helps us a lot, we could have been wrong at some point after the match against Olympia, where we think we won everything. “
When consulted about the actions of referee Melvin Matamoros. “There are times when the referee insults, he says something to the players and in this matter it is better to remain silent. There was an action, I don’t know if the TV saw our player slapping him and I think it was for expulsion, the fourth official it was close. So in this kind of thing you have to be calm and wait for the second round. “
