He also made clear the issue of what happened to Joshua Canals i Danny Acosta, Players who looked at the pre-Olympic but that they will not be for different reasons.
“I anticipate difficult matches, we are a very even group, although the numbers and names of those who play outside the national teams is a bit complicated to look for information, we have been finding it fortunately, we are going to face teams hard, ”he began by saying.
“The system we will use is practically defined. The players have different characteristics, so there are many of them who can integrate it, Haiti is a team that with its characteristics has always been complicated,” he explains about the group. he touched them.
Miguel Falero revealed the names of the players who were left as reserves in case of emergency due to injury or contagion of Covid19.

ABOUT JOSHUA CANALS

Then he added. “He didn’t even get to practice, he was injured, when he did the first session in Siguatepeque he had a swollen knee, then he couldn’t work in pain, when the tests are done and they ask for a background, he came playing and practicing because 6 fluid extractions had been made from his knee, 6. Then the first thing we did was protect the player, contact the health of Querétaro and tell him that we had not been informed. diagnoses and we find a player who was not even in a position to be observed.We told him that he had to recover, we returned him to the club to recover, today he is still undergoing rehabilitation and strengthening of quadriceps and hindquarters “.
“Unfortunately we had to rule him out, we are talking to him constantly, nothing prevents him from recovering and if we take a step forward, he may be in Tokyo. I am optimistic, first of all I want to think about the player and try to get it back and leave the door open for the near future. “
In turn Miguel Falero he also wanted to make clear the issue of Danny Acosta, Footballer who again leaves with the buns made in the national square. “There was no negligence on the part of FENAFUTH, he comes from an injury, where he has not been allowed to play, it was a broken ligament, his knee was a bit complicated, he had just started working, then, because he did not have a great activity, it was difficult to make an observation, we had done it before, and in this position we need players and he was a man that we have always taken into account, we followed him and in this area he was a of the possibilities, ”he said.
The selector of the Sub 23 made it clear that Danny Acosta, Currently with the galaxy from MLS, It is not clear yet if he wants to finally play with the Honduras National Team.
“Unfortunately he has not decided to play for Honduras, so the appropriate paperwork has not been finalized before FIFA for him to be able to represent Honduras in the final way as his thinking, and hopefully so we will be able to do it in the future because he is a player who has real value.there was no negligence, he was not properly also in the physique and we chose to have another player in his place as there are places where we were a bit lacking and we had others to opt for one or two names where there were very good options, ”the strategist charrúa reviewed.
OBLIGATION TO CLASSIFY?
Make it clear that you don’t have the word “failure” in your dictionary so just think positive things. “I’m not much of a use of the word ‘failure’ but it’s a big goal for this group of players to keep qualifying for the Olympics. The U23 has formed good squads and they haven’t had a chance to qualify, and they have good tournaments, that doesn’t mean they haven’t done a good training or job. I would say yes I would love to qualify again and hopefully we get the goal but it would be a failure if we don’t leave everything to get it. “
He finally talked about Rigoberto Rivas. “We in the case of Rigo Rivas, we did everything possible to have him before, there were many negotiations, it had even been accepted that he was coming at the beginning of the process, unfortunately at the last minute the team said they had to give it up within the FIFA dates. “
