Herediano premiere In the 0-0 draw with Pérez Zeledón in the Apertura Championship 2024. In this regard, Walter Centeno said that he was satisfied with the efforts of the red and yellow players and took the opportunity to congratulate his opponent.
– What do you think of the tie?
– Congratulations to the opponent, the fact is that it was a great game, they did their job, the boys played well, they worked hard, I liked this team in many periods, I think overall the draw was fair because the opponent did its thing and it’s a credit to them, we tried in the second half, we changed something, but it wasn’t enough for us.
-What do you think of “Tepa” Gonzalez?
– We try to do something with him. Sometimes I leave him open, sometimes I want him inside a little bit, we try to give him the time he wants because he is an important player in the interior in his combination with Marcel Hernandez. He does a good job and I am happy with his work, he does the job but had to change because of the strategy and happy with what he did.
– To what extent does Herediano need you to come up with ideas on the ball and how much effort should he put into definition?
– The lads played well in pre-season and I’m satisfied, it was a difficult game, a difficult start against a team that gave a lot of effort and complicated a lot of us during. Maybe the team was not as clear as we wanted, but I thought they were brave.
“At a certain point in the second half, we had options and Marcel had his options, I thought the goal would come out of nowhere. It was a matter of time. Now we have a game on Tuesday where we have to get the players back and try to win, score goals to gain confidence.”
– As the Central American Cup is also approaching, will you rotate?
– There is a plan with Robert Garbanzo, we have discussed some important things, we know that this month we will play two games and this must go hand in hand with results, we will try to find the ideal eleven for each game what Herediano needs to always look for victory, to look for chances to win games, we have enough people to withstand this series of games.
– Herediano confirms the arrival of Anthony Walker. How do you plan to achieve your goals?
– Competition, in a team like Herediano, with very good players, there must be good competition and the best ones are the ones who will play.
– What are your thoughts on VAR, which will be used at some point in this tournament?
– It is a tool that I think is very good, it is used very well in Europe, without controversy, and I believe it is the fairest. So, I believe it is a tool that can be useful for all of us, for television, for the coaching staff, for the players, and even for the public, so that the game is as legal as possible and no one complains that I lost because of that thing.
