Canada will be the last rival of the selection in the string of matches at the start of the World Cup tie. After USA and Honduras, Salvadorans will face another of the main candidates to win the ticket to Qatar 2022 due to the strength of its roster and the solidity of its scheme in recent months.
For Hugo Pérez, the selection should be careful with the rival proposal, which in his analysis, will not be the same as that seen by the Canadians against the United States. “Canada will not play us the same as against the United States. Against them they played 5-4-1 or 5-3-2, tomorrow they will start 3-4-3 or 4-4-3”, said the national technician.
“Everything goes into the idea of the game and we have to attack everyone and defend everyone, there are no excuses for anyone to run. We are in an octagonal where all teams have good players, the important thing is performance”he commented.
The strategist was emphatic that there will be variations against Canada and not because of a performance issue, but because of mere technical decisions against perhaps the most difficult opponent of the three games.
“The 22 players who traveled are ready. There may be changes. Those who do not play it is not because they did it wrong, but because I want to see other players but I have not decided that yet,” he said.
El Salvador does not start with annotations in this knockout phase. In this regard, Hugo Pérez said that “matches are won by scoring goals. Tomorrow we have to take advantage of the plays that we are going to put together and we have to be forceful in one or two to achieve victory.”
