The Aguán gunner, Eddie Hernández, left the lion’s den and returned to the eagle’s nest, a situation that has generated a bit of a stir on social networks, but the footballer is aware of the situation and the consequences of his work.
Hernández was part of the delegation of soccer players who undertook their trip this day with Motagua, where he seeks to earn a place in Hernán “La Tota” Medina’s team.
Who carries the weight? The scorers who are shaping up for the Apertura 2022 tournament
The striker of the blues spoke of several topics prior to his trip, where he explained his new stage with the cyclone and what his time at Olimpia represented, but made it clear which team is his love.
How do you take this return to Motagua?
Happy, happy to be home once more and getting ready to face this friendly tour with the team.
Many fans do not accept seeing you with this new shield.
I have said that the fan will not understand this situation, but it is our job and we must be professionals regardless of the shirt we wear and we must provide services, not close the doors to anyone. Hopefully and at some point they understand this part.
Are you grateful to Motagua for this new opportunity?
Without a doubt, Motagua is the second institution to which I have arrived following Platense, since a video is circulating that people want to misunderstand. If you see the full video, I say that it is the second institution that I have been a part of.
Isn’t it the second institution that you love the most?
I love all the teams: Motagua, Platense, Vida, Olimpia. They are institutions that have given me the opportunity to earn a salary and support my family.
Did people interpret that you meant that Motagua is the second largest in the country?
There are malicious people who want to make you look bad, but they cut the video and don’t let it run. If you look at it you will see what I am saying and at no time do I say that it is the second. We know what Motagua represents; there are four big teams in the country and he is one of them.
Do others criticize you because in Olympia you kissed the shield?
When I was in Motagua I also kissed the shield, it was always said that the team of my childhood was Motagua and I am going to support it. This is not going to change overnight and the fact that I have been to neighboring Olimpia does not take away from me the merits of what I achieved there and it is over; now I have to be professional and contribute to the team in what they require.
If you had to kiss the Motagua coat of arms, would you do it?
I’ve already done it, it’s the team of my childhood. One is professional and regardless of the color of the shirt one has, one must give the maximum.
Do you take this return to Motagua as revenge?
Everyone knows the differences we had and for that reason I left (differences with Diego Vázquez). I might tell you that it’s like a revenge and I want to be champion with the institution, achieve important things in this Concacaf tournament that Motagua has been close to winning in recent years.
How has your comeback been on a personal level?
Without a doubt I have adapted, but physically it has cost me to be unemployed for a month on vacation and return to the hard preseason. The reception of the group and coaching staff has been good, already with the group we mostly knew each other in different teams and selection.
How much does the ideology of Olimpia change in Motagua?
In terms of soccer, I might give you very little because the teacher, because very little work has been done in preseason, perhaps now in these preparation matches he will have a clearer idea. With the change of coaching staff, Motagua changed a lot and they improved and managed to become champions.
Aren’t you saying Motagua’s improvement because of your problems with Diego Vázquez?
No, at no time, that is already behind and I have more than clarified it many times, that is already in the past.
Will it be the resurgence of Eddie?
Yes, I am trusting in God that we have the support of what will be this season in Motagua and do the best possible. The teacher will have a great task to decide who to use because there is a large squad to draw on and hopefully be up to compete.
Have you set yourself a goal goal?
No, I have never wanted to make a number, since that is limiting myself and I know that my teammates are going to help me to score as many goals as possible.
Do you raise your hand to ask for a position in the National Team?
No, not yet because the tournament hasn’t started, I don’t know how I’m going to go. As the games go by I will notice any injury, although I have been a few. If I’m fine, I think there will be no need to say it with my mouth, but on the field of play.
Do you like the color blue?
Thank God yes, I’ve always thought this shirt looks good on me.
