a little off, Benjamin Morathe coach who shone in Asian football, but did not find the required level in Liga MX, attended the post-match press conference.

– Press Conference –

What happened to Julián Quiñones that wasn’t part of the game?

He stated that he was not 100% ready to play, and asked for understanding not to participate in that period.

Were you affected by the match held by Olympia at the Olympic Stadium in San Pedro Sula?

He wasn’t impressed, it was a football match that didn’t go our way, it was with Olympia, we didn’t do a good job, they took the chances they had and the result they deserved for Olympia.

Do you think the switch is decided after 4-1 against Olympia?

We don’t expect this result, the key is open, if they can do it at home, I don’t understand why we can’t do it at home, so hope doesn’t die, everything is still at stake, it’s 50% of the series and we have the other to fight.”

What happened to Atlas in the second half of the game?

We came to play a game that was not given to us, we came from a game of possession, circulation of the ball, we didn’t find spaces well, we didn’t have confidence, we found ourselves with an early goal that took our momentum away. However, in the second half, because of wanting to score the second goal, we were obviously a bit exposed at times, and the Olympia players’ speed, power made us suffer and they were effective.

Lessons remaining from this match and how to prepare for the second leg?

There are many lessons each game offers you. We have to think about what we should and can do for the next switch, for the second game. Basically think of the Liga MX vs Lyon game we have to win and there is no other way to win, many lessons now when we review the game procedures.

Is his continuity in doubt after the poor results in the league?

No, with the board of directors we haven’t touched on the matter, they’ll know what’s on their mind, and I devote myself to coaching the boys every day.
