The Argentine coach of Marathon, Héctor Vargas, give an entertaining press conference where he spoke after the 2-0 defeat to Olympia in the first leg played at the National Stadium in Tegucigalpa.
The “Lion of Formosa” has questioned the arbitration of Saíd Martínez because he thinks it cut the pace of the game a lot and hopes that Hector Rodriguez, Referee appointed for the return, do better on Sunday at the Yankel Rosenthal where the return Grand Final will take place.
The best memes left by the final
The verdolaga coach considers that the inexperience of some of his players has taken its toll on them at some points in the match.
“The goal came at the start of the second half and it’s normal for it to happen in a game and especially with young players like (Cristian) Moreira of 20 years, (Luis) Vega with 18 (years) on the left side, they are playing their first final, then they make mistakes, but on Sunday at 11 in the morning we have the chance to play in our stadium, our climate and we will see if Hector Rodriguez it gives more dynamism to the game, which doesn’t stop so much. The team is whole, we will do our best to assert the locality “, he started saying.
Are you not satisfied with the work of Saïd Martínez? “Saïd’s refereeing I will always question because of the slowness in which he makes every decision, he thinks he is taking math classes at Central, he is telling the player and telling him, he slows down a lot and we know that our football it tends to waste time and on top of that we add this lack of dynamics, then this arbitration needs to be more dynamic, ”he questioned.
THE RULES: What does Marathon need to be a champion?
And he added: “Saïd has a way of directing, he calls the players a lot, he likes the photo and I think that canceling the goal (by Jonathan Pau), would have been criminal if he didn’t, because I saw the play and I was surprised by the lack of communication. the best thing they warned for VAR and canceled it “.
What did you like most about the first half and what did they stop doing?
The first half we overtook them by far, we had clear goal actions; that of Arriaga, Machuca Ramírez, of Volpi, we did not need to specify anything else. I like it because we were superior, then in the first one that comes to us Olimpia scores us in the second half, but the lack of experience made us look for the tie when the result (1-0) was as if it were the last game and this is Sunday at 11:00 AM, but we’ve already won the group final and we’re going to try.
Do you feel the conviction of the comeback on Sunday?
Without any doubt. We have the last game left in our house and we will do our best to lift the tenth.
What do you have to do to go back?
We have to score two goals. It is clear. This group has been characterized by winning the games that matter as Concacaf, The group final and this is the last match and we will continue in the same way. We have to impose ourselves because we are at home.
