CLASSICAL END
In addition to its denomination as the national classic, the final instances are well known for Olympia and Marathon, and so far this century have seen the faces repeatedly to establish the champion of the National League of Honduras.
This new confrontation between meringues and emeralds will be the eleventh time they are measured to take to the glass in their windows, being those of the capital those that dominate the series to pleasure on the sampedranos.
Of the 10 back-and-forth series in which Olimpia and Marathón fought for the title, the hairy ones managed to prevail in seven opportunities, whereas the verdolagas carried out the work three times.
However the memories are not so recent, as it was almost seven years ago, in May 2014, when both clubs met in the last final for which they competed with each other, giving Olimpia as the winner. by way of penalties.
Troglio VS. VARGAS
To the appeal of the history of national classics must be added a new rivalry that has arisen since the arrival of the coach. Pedro Troglio in Olympia with his compatriot Héctor Vargas.
While the meringue coach has been more cautious in his statements, with the exception of his words in the group final, the last words of the emerald helmsman would not have fallen well into the Olympian bosom.
“He ‘s famous because he was close to Maradona“As a coach he has only been champion in Olympia and Paraguay,” were some of Vargas’ words to Troglio.
Faced with these assertions, there is no doubt that it adds a little more spice to a clash that will not only occur in the field of action, but in the strategies that coaches come up with to defeat their opponent.
