Unexpectedly, the holding midfielder, German “Patón” Mejía, would not continue wearing the colors of Club Olimpia Deportivo in the middle of the Apertura 2023 tournament of the National League of Honduras.
DIEZ learned for the first time that the player asked to leave the team because they are not enjoying many minutes in the current league competition.
In yesterday’s Wednesday match between Olimpia-Olancho, the multi-time champion with the merengue team was called up, but did not appear among the club members at the Chelato Uclés.
Patón spoke with Troglio, to whom he expressed that he was not satisfied with the minutes of play. In addition, the tricolor all-rounder will speak with the board to negotiate the termination of the contract.
Are you leaving for another club?
DIEZ also confirmed that the footballer decided to continue training at the headquarters of the two-time national champion, but he will do this occasionally at the José Rafael Ferrari High Performance Center, but this without the employment contract.
Mejía has seen action in seven of the 11 duels of the Apertura 2023 tournament and had minutes in the 2023 Concacaf Central American Cup, where the lion was eliminated in the group stage round.
In this way, Olimpia might make official in the next few hours the departure of the Progreso midfielder who won two Concacaf League titles with the merengue team.
Problem for Troglio
With the resignation of Germán “Patón” Mejía from the albo team, Pedro Troglio has a new headache, since in the field, only Carlos Pineda has the same similarities as a recovery midfielder.
Jorge Álvarez is the double pivot partner in Olimpia, although Yan Maciel, a Brazilian who has been recovering from an injury, has also seen double five action.
Another of the footballers is Edwin Rodríguez, but the one born in Quimistan is playing as an outside midfielder in the scheme led by Pedro Troglio.
Debut with Olimpia
Patón Mejía debuted with Olimpia on August 17, 2014 in a regular round match once morest Parrillas One for the Apertura. And, at the international level, he debuted with the white colors in September of that same year, in the 4-2 win in favor of the Portland Timbers.
In the National League they have won nine league titles, six of them under the command of Argentine coach Pedro Antonio Troglio.
