Reynaldo Rueda and Honduras national team They started work today Mexico. The roster called by the Colombian strategist appeared at the Morazán Stadium and conducted the first training session on this small course.

The Colombian coach of “H” appeared in a press conference where he spoke again about the summoned players. The invitation was considered Justin Arboleda Of which he said he might not finally be in the team against Mexico.

Likewise, the national coach who led Honduras at South Africa 2010 spoke about where the player currently stands in relation to Honduran roles. Leonardo Posadasthe follower Borussia Dortmund and Nairobi Vargaswho underwent surgery.

What he said at the conference:

His feelings before the match: “Very happy to be in San Pedro Sula. We hope that this new day that we will develop will be fruitful so that the players feel good and socialize with the team again in San Pedro Sula and get the affection of the fans who have always been loyal.”

Factor to decide about San Pedro Sula: “It was something we had been waiting for for months, and you saw the inconvenience that occurred with the court delay. As the field improved and the games were played, we thought he was a good replacement for the team because of what it means to play here.

The football factor is knowing that the team belongs all over Honduras, a place that has always been very loyal to the team, and that was crucial in making the decision; “The players wanted to play here.”

Justin Arboleda’s appeal: “I haven’t seen any media pressure anywhere. He’s a player who spent a large part of his career in Honduras, and he’s an important goalscorer. I spoke to him and he showed interest in having that experience in the national team, and contributing with his talent. Maybe it’s not his best moment because he’s coming off an injury, but It’s time to round it out and adapt. He hasn’t had the opportunity to work with him, but it’s never been because of the media pressure. “He’s earned his merits for what he’s accomplished in his career.”

The physical level of Arboleda who was called up against Mexico?: “I hope that Justin Arboleda’s situation is successful and positive, this is not his best moment, maybe he will not play against Mexico because he only played a few minutes, he may play, I will see in training to see what will happen. It will happen, but “it will be from November 10 when we make the final call.”

How is the operation of Leonardo Posadas and Nairobi Vargas going: “They are two promising young men. Leonardo’s case has had difficulties with a sprained ankle, it has been difficult for him to regain ownership of his club, the papers are being processed, he still does not have an ID card or a Honduran passport, and he is working on that. It is a matter for the embassy, ​​they live in Dortmund and they have to go to Berlin and do everything, and they are on the right path, but those who are not at a good level and are not proven and the issue of documents together.

Nairobi Vargas’ condition is that he had meniscus complications in training and had surgery so we can’t round him up at the moment and that’s the situation with them.

Henry Figueroa’s appeal: He added: “Henry was a player in the national team, and unfortunately he was suspended, but from the outside we were always thinking about him and fortunately he has returned now and regained his level. He has experience.” He is a player with a very good technical style and it will be important for him to reach a very good level for everything he has.

Having Debbie Flores on the scooter: “I called up these three players who, due to the status of their clubs, were excluded from the MLS qualifiers. Jesús Patiz and Alinis Vargas as well and took advantage of the fact that they could be here, continue to identify Alinis, Jesús and Deby, invite him to the level he showed in the last FIFA date, and maintain He has to and that’s why I’m calling for him to come on board, even though it’s also, given all the experience he has, it’s going to be important.

Boho and Arriaga losses: “We have that loss of Christopher Meléndez and Kervin Arriaga due to the accumulation of yellow cards, and they will certainly be in the team because they will contribute with us in the second match, the penalty for one date.

We have to look at the alternatives we have, whether Kervin starts or look for another replacement for Christopher, as they have contributed a lot to the national team. It is something that we moved to another stage of the tournament and they did not clear the yellow cards, and this is unfair because Canada, Mexico and the United States did not make the trips or compete and entered cleanly, but this is the matter of organization and we have to respect it.”

The level of well-placed defenders and attackers: “It was one of the topics we discussed in the meeting, that for international and elite football, in the demands we have to ask more of ourselves, in every sense, not just in those positions, maybe sometimes to be good in the national league breeds self-deception. You have to think about the national team, it is a special factor and every player must see what he can improve and the concepts and that is what the players win.

Justin Arboleda trained for the first time in the colors of the Honduras national team.
