Amarini Villatoro Confident in Achieving Positive Results in Honduras
In Quetzaltenango, Amarini Villatoro, the coach of the Chivos team, expressed confidence in achieving positive results in Honduras. His ambition is to reach the finals of the Copa Centroamericana. As the team prepares for the first leg of the semifinals against Real España, Villatoro emphasized that the return of key players will be crucial.
Chivos Aim for Copa Centroamericana Glory
Villatoro reflected on the team’s recent encounters with Real España and noted the importance of these matches. “Three months ago, we faced Real España and Choloma. Now, we meet again in a significant semifinal,” he stated.
Current Team Status
- The team recently faced setbacks in the league.
- Player rotation is in process as injured players recover.
- Priority is set on the Copa Centroamericana over league matches.
He further mentioned the team’s focus. “Our dream is to reach the finals and perform well in both legs against a strong opponent. The prestige of both teams is on the line, and minimizing errors will be vital for advancing,” Villatoro added.
Challenges Ahead
Villatoro acknowledged a disadvantage in not hosting the second leg in Xela. “Playing at home in high altitude typically benefits us. Unfortunately, due to Concacaf regulations, we will play in the capital,” he explained.
The first leg against Real España is scheduled for tonight at 20:00 at the Francisco Morazán Stadium. The Chivos are eager to secure a favorable outcome to keep their Copa Centroamericana aspirations alive.
