Controversy and more controversy has generated that Keyrol Figueroa has decided to represent USAdeclining the option of Honduras. Álgido has started the topic when his mother, Sandra Noraleshave written an extensive letter explaining the reason for your decision.
The wife of Maynor Figueroa he might not bear more contempt and ridicule towards his son following losing the final of the Premundial Sub 17 con USA and he walked out.
Keyrol’s mother argues that her son’s decision to play with the Team USA happened because in Fenafuth they put many impasses to be able to do it. He talks regarding how they wanted to send him to the Florida to carry out a test, something that did not seem to them.
In the same way, he made it clear that Keyrol did not reach the Liverpool for the fact of being the son of Maynor Figueroa, but because of what he showed as a footballer. He assured the club that they realized that he was Maynor’s son when he, years later, arrived at a parents’ meeting.
The letter from Sandra Norales, mother of Keyrol Figueroa:
“I said that at the time I am going to say the things that I have to say, for now I will support the positive comments that my close friends and colleagues of my husband, instead of mocking and putting negatives on my son for what he does not today He obtained and we did not have, and that we were close, they should be worrying regarding the minor categories of our selection of Honduras.
Ask the Federation of Honduras why Keyrol is not there today. We prepared it so that one day it would be there and without a single cost and money from anyone other than our desires and sacrifices, and only the few who know us know it very, very well, people who have shared in these sacrifices and even they have given us a hand. If it’s not there today it’s not our fault. Stop making jokes regarding your children’s dreams, they should admire how far we have come as a family, everything they have said to harm our name is not true, nor are we traitors to our country because one seeks only the best for the children .
I just want my son to have what I never had, opportunities like that, all he wants is to play soccer, like everyone else, here there is no money involved, they pay him like they say we left for money, We left because they never gave it importance, because you have to do thousands of tests first before entering the National team, because it costs a world, and here you ask, who is Keyrol? They don’t know their son, apart from they don’t know where he plays and that he had to take a test in Florida.
First, by paying a super expensive ticket when your reference supports it. They should be happy rather that this sells out country that everyone treats him today, him and his father, Honduras is proudly known today for him, the Honduran who stood out and collaborated with the other colleagues to qualify for a World Cup and he is Honduran.
We didn’t leave either because they humiliated his father ugly as you think and what a bad thing for the 20 years of extraordinary career he had, he is only remembered for the last thing he did, something that not even Keyrol remembers, even more so now he knows thanks to you . Simply because someone else gave him the opportunity, because he always asked me when they were going to call him. Things as they are, don’t question Keyrol, ask others.
It has nothing to do with it here, he was naturalized American by Maynor, Keyrol is Honduran by birth, British thanks to the sacrifices, cold weather that his father endured working without knowing a fart of English and the work of his mother who did everything to achieve the goal. Americans thanks to their maternal grandmother who immigrated to the USA from 99 to burn their hands in a Mexican kitchen and cross streets with school children, and they call me ‘golden cradle child’, among other things, stop the mockery , that the only thing we do is look for something better, that as parents we were not nor did we have.
If you think that’s all, this is only 5% of all I have to say. I am grateful to take the positive of everything to achieve objectives in our country, what a need to do all that. We have so much talent that we threw it away for not using things in the best way, I will comment on the rest in due time.
Justice is Justice, today I speak for my son, for the children of my friends who are also in sports, for the Twis who one day will make the decision who to represent, and for the other immigrants who will one day have a chance. Do you know how many Hondurans there are in the USA double passport academies that are being trained for free in Honduras? and their parents pay for their training in American academies and that nobody knows anything regarding them around the United States… there they have an answer.
And finally I am going to say one more thing, I want to make it clear to everyone that Keyrol is not in the Liverpool academy thanks to his father, but through his own merit he came to the academy when he was five years old and later, when he was 12 years old. Until two and a half years ago before the pandemic at the Liverpool academy they realized that he was the son of a Honduran soccer player named Maynor Figueroa because he went to a player progress meeting for the first time.
I was always careful that no one knew so that later they would not say that he was there thanks to him. He is there because he showed that he has talent, because he showed it, and not because of anyone’s influence. He earned it with a lot of work and sacrifices that nobody imagines, now yes, I ask you to talk all you want… let a dreamer dream and put his name where he wants to put it. Thank you”.
