Osman Madrid, leader al Olympics and one of the strong men of the white box, assured that they decided to play at home on Thursday, because they have too many injured players and they did not have rest. call Marathon that of the hand.
“That’s why we respect the decisions of the Marathon club (let’s play the return on Saturday) and the regulations are clear. You know how many games we play. I played in San Pedro Sula at 3.00 in the afternoon at that time (group final) and I came from Orlando to participate in 8 degrees. We have to play on equal terms, we are at a disadvantage due to injuries due to all the problems, but we only schedule our match and we are waiting for the return match “, Osman Madrid started saying.

The representative of the whites in the National League and Fenafuth, defends the position and clarifies that they have the necessary reasons to make the change by Thursday, even if the League had asked to play on Wednesday and Saturday.
“We were not classified in the final. The league should see that, but we weren’t sure on Saturday. Those of us inside are the ones who know how the team is doing. Yesterday, a few more injured players came out and they are human beings and they have to recover to compete. We want to have a few days off to be able to compete on equal terms. The rules are clear, we are the team that got the most points and we will face a club that did merit and we both have the right to give each other the rules and we can schedule the game when we think it is convenient.
Then continue. “It’s up to us to play as a home club on Thursday. The league has scheduled matches like the one we lost 4-2 to Honduras Progreso. I played on a Thursday and Saturday. It’s complicated football when the facilities are not yours. We only ask for our game for Thursday and Marathón can play well on Sunday, I think “, Osman declared for the Meridiano Deportivo program in Radio Libertate.
Olimpia will not move its party, although the League will be the one to determine. “I don’t know, you have to leave these things to God, he is the only one who can get his hands on them. Everyone knows that Olimpia is right, she comes from playing a lot of games and there is fair play. The league must consider that we will represent Costa Rica in national football. I can’t force ourselves, we play four finals on Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday, Sunday before playing a final in 14 days. It’s complicated”.

He complained about the difficult schedule they had and that left 11 players injured until today. “You can’t play a team, everyone who plays competes internationally. What Olimpia did in this number of games, I can’t, with injuries and many things. We now have nine players out and now two more are added. You need to standardize this. They don’t, but they have to be fair, because they respect our local state because we want to play on Thursday. I think Marathón can play on Sunday, only there is will. We request the program from the League for Thursday, we do not move, on Thursday at 7.00 ”.
TRAVEL PROBLEMS IN COSTA RICA
Osman Madrid explained that Olimpia also has a difficult problem, because they can’t find flights to travel to Costa Rica to face Alajuelense for the semifinals of the CONCACAF League and only offer them a charter flight that is expensive.
“Now we can’t find a place to travel to Costa Rica to play the game in Costa Rica. It gives us a charter to travel and that costs a lot of money. We have to see how we schedule it, because it costs a lot of money to leave early to go to Costa Rica, because the money that Concacaf gives it does not adjust. We see how we solve everything, but we want to fix this for the final and then for the trip to Costa Rica “, he said.
ANSWERS DIEGO VÁZQUEZ
Olimpia’s sports vice president responded to Diego Vázquez who complained that his balls were hidden in Sunday’s game. Osman says whites are not used to such things.
Look, that’s a question. Have you seen the biosecurity protocol? Those people should be congratulated. I didn’t have as many problems as in Guatemala, which stopped four or five times in the tournament. We had no problems and we must congratulate the Medical Commission. The balls were in cones and every time the Olympic track passes they must be disinfected. We don’t hide balls, but if they tell us everything, they can tell us whatever they want. There are things you can’t control. Olimpia will continue to look for good teams, to compete, we can’t control what X or Y says “, said Madrid.
Finally, he explained: “We are so worried. When a team goes out on the field, the work to be done before fulfilling all the protocols is tireless for a large number of people, that the bar does not reach and a problem is created, that nothing happens to anyone. It is not easy and there are things that cannot be controlled and God can control them first ”.
