‘Bolillo’ Gómez in his presentation with Honduras: ‘The tie is for men who want to succeed’ – Diez – Diario Deportivo

With his face in good humor, pulling some jokes on the footballers, the Colombian coach, Hernán “Bolillo” Gómez, was introduced as the new coach of Honduras. The South American left many pearls in his first speech: he does not promise miracles, he wants committed players and above all, there is human material to move this ship forward.

Gómez was nervous when he saw more than 50 journalists who filled the room to cover his presentation: “I never saw the Honduras national team in this position, but we will fight to get it out. With values ​​and union we can achieve it. This scenario looks like a before and after a World Cup match. When I saw all this (group of journalists) I was scared and when I get nervous it is because I have all five senses well. Thank you very much for the welcome “, he commented.

Watch. THIS WERE THE FIRST HOURS OF BOLILLO GÓMEZ IN HONDURAS

“Bolillo” did not want to sell smoke, he was always direct and announced that the situation is complicated for Honduras: “We are going to fight it, it is very difficult. I am here because of the desire to return to a sixth world championship. I am one of objectives and they have given me the opportunity to return and that is a goal and this Selection can take me “.

“I am here because I have always had confidence in the Honduras national team. Whenever I faced her and saw her play, I saw that she was a team with character, self-love and a sense of belonging. The margin is quite small, but if you have a six-game losing streak, you can have eight wins, “says El Bolillo.

DIRECT MESSAGE TO THE PLAYERS: “First is that if a player goes to the National Team, he has to stand out in a club, in addition, that he forms a family, that is supportive. That he is not a worker of those who have hours from 8 to 5 and that are 5:00 pm he says , I’m leaving, but if he is one of those who is missing something, he works until 6:00 pm. You have to know how to eat well, dress well, speak well, behave well. If they tell me that it is not football, that is to train people for good Not only in companies, you have to train them as people. You have to be friends, supportive and help yours. If I am Arriaga and I see that Elis is with the ball on one side, we go to him. If you are a good footballer, you know Playing soccer but you’re not a good person, you damage the environment. “

THE POINTS IT PROMISES TO DO: “What a fucking question. The error is minimal. I will tell you one thing: those of us who start from scratch and go to the United States and draw, serve, and you go to Canada or Mexico and draw, it is good. But in the situation we are in Now, if we go to Mexico and we draw, we don’t win a point, we lose two. Let’s wait and see how I do, but I’m scared. “

THE CALL TO THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS: “I have always seen that the Honduran player is handsome (dedicated), he does not give up, so I want to find out quickly why Honduras is in that position in the octagonal. The choice of players is that they get alone. It is much more difficult now. The tie is for men and professionals who want to succeed, for people who want to lead because it is the most difficult thing a coach and a footballer face; more difficult than playing a World Cup. There are people who do not like some players and others who prefer young people ; but the one who is better will play “.

THE HARDEST CHALLENGE IN YOUR CAREER: “It is the most difficult task and I do not want to be … the managers know that I came here, more than economically, because of the challenge, because I believe in the players, in the National Team. It does not mean that I will qualify for Qatar. No I just want to come and sign a contract for three months, I want to fight and then fulfill a goal of being the coach of the world with six world championships. We have to fight and I get nervous, I’m scared I told my advisers like “Pacho” Maturana and Reinaldo Rueda that I am scared (to come to Honduras). The day that I am not scared I stop directing. “

NEW PLAYERS: “Every time I am hired, it is to go and solve problems and it is clear to me from experience. The doors of the National Team are open to all players. You don’t kick anyone out, footballers get in and out on their own. They get in by their ability and behavior, because before they are footballers they have to be professionals, and professionals as people “.

FOOTBALL PLAYERS YOU WANT TO SEE: “They are going to see a Honduran national team that is going to run, show solidarity and that the country understands. I don’t want anybody forced, the players who are willing to take the country forward are going to come.”

WHAT HE SAYS TO THE FANS: “Here what we need the most is the people who will go to the stadium. We are going to respect those who will go, regardless of the result, we are all going to give ourselves up for this shirt. Whoever wears this shirt has to surrender and the people will he has to account for energy to exist. If there is not good energy, we will feel it on our backs. We want the National Team to be the reflection of the country. “

KNOWLEDGE OF HONDURAS: “I know, acceptable, I have seen that he has fast players, that he has good defenses, we have a great goalkeeper. I do not say names because many things are said there. I try above many things, as much as I know Panama, to know more to Honduras, that it be a National Team of Honduras that prevails with the style of Honduras regardless of what Panama or Costa Rica has. “

PLAYERS CALLING YOUR ATTENTION: “In Central America, Honduras is the best football played and there are many Colombians here. I don’t know them like the back of my hand the league, I’m not going to tell them lies. I have spoken with Reinaldo Rueda, with” Pisci ” Restrepo, with Colombian technicians who train here and I have been learning about it. The senior teams are not difficult to choose. I go out and make a list of 20, 17 I chose them. I came to meet you, I have to travel to Colombia tomorrow And next week I have to be here to ride in the stadiums, do microcycles for a few days. What do these trainings dictate to you? You can train, no, but you can meet people. I want to see the players head-on. Who doesn’t know Elis and Moya? I want to show myself how I am, see how they live, because one of them lives, plays, although some do not live well. I return Tuesday or Wednesday and I start living here to get into society. “

THE WORK TO BE IMPLEMENTED: “I am very demanding with the order, I like that the 11 defend and that the 11 attack. In these qualifying rounds I saw that the team was not complete due to injuries, but it has what I handle, triangulations. I saw it against Costa Rica and Canada. If we can do that, we can make a strong team. Besides, there is something else, the good technique that I saw in some players. “

LITTLE WORKING TIME: “The team technicians become selectors to find players quickly and quickly inform the knowledge, I handle that. I hope the boys understand me. Professor Coito left an advance job. You saw the game Canada vs Honduras that was worked to win, others did not and the team fell. I think Coito left me the work in advance, we have to score 21 points, the maximum. We are never going to give up, we are going to fight and that helps me, we are going to fight until the end. “

HOW TO LIFT THE GROUP: “As the president says, we are never going to surrender, I never saw a Honduran team delivered, I always watched it fighting until the end. You have to put in more than 200% or 400% to get out of the problem where we are. It is with work where we have to give much more than what we have done “.
