After the match, the coach of the verdolaga team, Héctor Vargas, appeared at a press conference, where he considered certain key aspects to fall in this way.
“The feeling of a result like this always gives you the issue that you can’t justify the goal difference, in short, you have to recognize the merits of a team that has invested a lot of money in the amount of players it has.”
And he added: “What seemed a bit decisive was the first play that seemed to me expulsion, as Castell went straight to the goal in 8 minutes and the referee only took a yellow card, here I am it looks like it could have changed the game, it was decisive. “
From the analysis of the helmsman of the greens, the failure to specify certain goal plays were part of this elimination against Portland.
“The first half we finished with the possibility of a goal that takes him over the line, we also had to take Castell and Arriaga by injury. Then we know the economic superiority of this team and it was reflected in the marker “.
When he was consulted for the feeling he has after receiving a large number of goals and being eliminated from this international tournament.
“This one takes it according to the competition it has and we have to know that Portland came back on Saturday back charter and it took us a day to get here. We left at 4:00 am from San Pedro Sula and we arrived at 9:00 pm in Portland and you feel it when the results are bulky from fatigue, where you didn’t recover and these circumstances occur ”.
And he acknowledges that: “I think we could only have lost by five goals difference, until the goalkeeper covered two or three balls that could have been more.”
Vargas went a little further and believes that the last minutes reflected the physical wear and tear of his team by the demand they had in recent days.
“It’s reflected in tiredness and when you have the importance of not converting and looking for an action that puts you close to the scoreboard and you don’t get it, you feel the impotence that you later show with the attitude. It’s an effort that goes hand in hand in a situation that then is hard to justify.That’s the way out, we know it’s not easy to make a group that comes to compete.Tuesday’s effort, the weekend game, the travel and more that, was the reflection of the last minutes of this match “.
And he closed by saying, “If they beat you tactically, they make a difference in the first few minutes. The big connoisseurs of that and Bilardo always told us, ‘If I stop the team badly, the first few minutes will overwhelm me and generate goal situations and go three at a disadvantage “.
