The coach did not understand why there was so much talk about the action in which Yustin Arboleda fractured Chucho López and he did not think that they would disqualify him.
Honduras Olympic coach Pedro Troglio said he did not understand why so many complaints from America about the game played by the catracho team and the absence of Yustin Arboleda, who ended up sending Jesús López to the operating roomIf, from his point of view, Coapa will eventually be CONCACAF champions.
“That they don’t want to play in CONCACAF, because that’s already a problem for AmericaWell, they will have to go play Copa Libertadores de América and Copa Libertadores de América. I can assure you that they play with great force, with a lot of friction; it is very difficult to play. It seems to me that it is a moment of “anger” and nothing more. America must remain calm, it seems to me a huge team, which for me will be the CONCACAF champion, I have no doubt “.
“I’m struck by everything that is said there, because I simply won a match and America passed the stage, so I don’t understand so much the problem of losing a match,” added Pedro Troglio.
He said that “after watching the game twice last Wednesday, he drew the same conclusions as when the game ended: we went to play a game as planned and never prepared a game to have shots and many others, so that there is a serious injury “.
“I keep insisting that the injury was an accident; Arboleda does not go at any time with the intention of injuring someone, he will just take out the ball and fall with all his weight, unfortunately in López. This is the most negative note, when an injured player comes out, but we went to implement a game that went well from a technical point of view, then we went to neutralize the rival “.
Pedro Troglio added: “There were a few mistakes, 20 of us and 14 from America, but when I watch the match twice more, I don’t know why so much has been said in Mexico. I was left with the recognition of many football people, who called me and who saw the team very well “.
He also reiterated that Santiago Naveda himself was missing Yustin Arboleda himself, who was much more serious, “but hey, a lot of people who don’t know, who have never played, who I think wanted to come in like that, and a lot of those of us who have played football, we know it’s not a blow to hurt someone … We saw that there is a political tint, talking about “cavemen” for Hondurans, but hey, we stayed with what the team did and with a game that America doesn’t normally lose on that field. “
NOTHING OFFICIAL … AND HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IT EXISTS
If they have any official news that America would request the disqualification of Arboleda, including the central referee, Henry Bejarano, as Santiago Baños himself pointed out the day before, he stated: neither the player nor the referee, who was the who saw the play. The game was nothing but a yellow card.
“As far as the referee is concerned, it is a problem more than anything for the Referees Association; As for Arboleda, I don’t think it would be fair … We know that there was a statement from America on social networks, but from there to formalization and everything (a formal complaint from America to CONCACAF), it takes a long time. I don’t think that will take its course, I’ve never seen anything like it”.
“No, CONCACAF has not made any decision and I don’t think it will make it, because the play shows that no one withdraws to hurt someone; You can say that he wants to take the ball from him and that he fell with the player’s weight. When I can act ex officio, for example, If I see Naveda’s entrance on Arboleda, coming from behind, if he had hurt him, he could be suspended ex officio, but in Arboleda’s game, I don’t think so.”.
He said: “I also made a statement, where it is argued with a video that there were four or five blows on the other side and no one complained. I also have a capable player who will not play tomorrow (in that League), who also received a backlash and may not play the local championship tomorrow, but I will not go to a conference to count how many injured I have, when I already know that when a football match ends, they are always beaten ”.
MEXICO, VERY AFTER CENTRAL AMERICA
On the other hand, Olimpia’s coach assured that in football, “Mexico is undoubtedly above the countries of Central America; I have no doubt that Mexican teams are teams of another level: we are talking about a huge economic level and structure, with extraordinary players, with the possibility to sign the best. It is clear that Mexican football is just many steps above all in Central America and MLS. Far away; I have no doubt about that”.
He claimed that “Mexican football does not need help, because it is completely above; Now, in football, you can find an inspired team that will give you strength, that will mark your best players and take advantage of situations and you can lose. Let’s see, this is the second time that Olympia has won in Mexico in history; then, for something it is. There is a huge difference. “
