“Bolillo” Gómez: “I feel nerves and the boys also have to feel nerves”

The coach of the Salvadoran team, the Colombian Hernán Darío Gómez, shared the emotions caused by the game on Tuesday against Surinam at the Cuscatlán Stadium, where the national team needs to add a point to advance to the third phase of the Concacaf Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup.

“Yes, one enjoys, but it also scares. A game that scares. I feel nerves and the boys also have to feel nerves, where we do not feel nerves, because we are not for this. We are preparing ourselves in the best way to play it as such. This is an important step towards the other classification,” Gómez said at a press conference.

“I don't hear, I can't answer,” were the words used by the South American strategist when he heard the question of what he thinks of a group of people who criticize the functioning of the blue and white inside the pitch.

“The most important thing is that the boys have made the effort to be prepared to endure the 90 minutes. It is a good situation for our tactical work,” he said, this Monday, before a good number of media that attended the “Coloso de Monserrat.

“Solidarity is seen, order is seen and there we will continue to improve,” he added.
