“As far as America is concerned, there are beautiful things, beautiful and important challenges for a coach and for a team,” the South American coach began, explaining about the duels against the Americans that are played in April.
Pedro explained that football is unpredictable: “Being touched by one of the most difficult teams is very good tests to improve and progress, this is football and I am very confident that you can fight with everyone within your limits, then you can do well or bad “, he explained on HRN radio.
THE SIGNING AND THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN
Olimpia starts defending the crown and the road to the triple championship next Wednesday, visiting Real Spain. For this tournament, Troglio requested the signing of the Argentine wing, Ezequiel Aguirre, a player he met in Defensores de Belgrano in the Second Division of his country and highlights his actions.
“He is a player who has been in the B National Team of Argentine football for five years. He is a fast player, he faces hand to hand, he has a goal and he can play wing on both sides, he can also play double wing. We are very confident in him “, he commented.
And Aguirre’s signing is taking place because Olimpia will lose its players, José Mario Pinto and Edwin Rodríguez, almost two months, who are starters and will play with Honduras pre-Olympic Concacaf Under-23.
He would have only Michael Chirinos playing in this position, but the player comes out of a pubalgia; Marvin “La Flecha” Bernárdez is also there, but Troglio and his coaching staff like to have a complete list.
Olimpia added, in addition to the Argentine Aguirre, the defender Brayan Beckeles who comes from MLS, José García who returns from Real de Minas and at the wheel, Allan Banegas, a restraint that will replace the loss of the injured Carlos Pineda who misses the entire Clausura.
