Amaya.

Nathaly Pérez, captain of Honduras: “I am happy,
happy to be here with all the people who have
supported me since I started playing, always
eager to make them proud. I think there was a
mental part, especially in the third set, that
affected us, El Salvador had their game too,
they took us out of the game but in the fourth
set we managed to recover”.
Marvin Ulloa, coach of Honduras: “It was a nice
show for the fans, but we don't plan to lose a
set today, I think we always have that problem
with the mental part. We're going to work more
on the discipline part, they didn't pay
attention to some elements and we can't continue
doing that in the games to come”.
Daniela López, captain of El Salvador: "We
congratulate Honduras for their victory, it was
our first game and we are sorry we did not win,
in the following games we hope to have a better
attitude, we have a good team, I believe in our
team and I am sure we can give good results."
Noé Fabián, coach of El Salvador: “First
congratulations to Honduras, they have a great
team and a player who stands out above the rest
(Nathaly). For our part, the nervousness of the
first game took its toll on us, against the
host, with their audience... that makes it weigh
on us at a certain point. We couldn't get up at
certain times, but it wasn't enough."
On the second day of this Friday, Honduras is
measured against Guatemala at 7:00 p.m. and El
Salvador has rest. |
