The Honduran U-20 National Team altered all the statistics that predicted bad omens in the run-up to the Concacaf Under-20 World Cup and qualified by far for the World Cup in Indonesia to be held next year.
This World Cup tournament will be the fourth in a row for a Honduran team in this category. Going into catracha history on a Sub-20 scale, the Bicolor has been present nine times at these great events.
After finishing the match once morest the Panamanians, some soccer players, still with latent emotion, offered their statements following achieving the goal achieved at the Morazán stadium on Tuesday, June 28.
Among them, the central defender and captain of the national squad Aarón Zúniga, who recalled what the duties set before the championship are, made it clear that they are very happy, but that they now have to turn the page and think regarding the United States team United, his rival on Friday.
In addition, the native of Trujillo, Colón, says that caution should be taken due to the good performance that the North Americans are showing in this World Cup.
Dream fulfilled.
“I always made it my goal to give my best in every game and support my teammates. The first goal was met, but Paris is missing (Olympic Games 2024). Now we celebrate and today we must concentrate because there is still a long way to go and the next rival is tough”.
United States, the next rival.
“It is a very strong team, we know what the United States represents. We have to do the same thing we’ve done during all the games, respect our rivals and see them head-on”.
WHAT THE PANAMANIAN PRESS SAYS
Full stadium.
“The truth is I didn’t expect to see the stadium like this ( once morest Panama on Tuesday). I thank all the people who were present, that helps us a lot and I hope they continue to support us”.
A hard road in his personal life.
“Ufff… I thank God because he was the one who moved the pieces so that I am here now. The support of my parents has been enormous because my father never left me alone and always trusted me. My family made the trip from Trujillo and they accompanied me in this beautiful moment.”
What comes to mind following this classification?
“A lot of things come to mind. When I was in Trujillo nobody trusted me, now I managed to qualify for a World Cup. One should never give up. As a child I always said that I would like to make it to the national team and be captain; it was fulfilled for me”.
