Carlos Pavón is one of the great references in the Honduras national team, a goalscorer who wrote in golden letters his time in the Catracha squad and reached qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
After this return of Reinaldo Rueda to the country and the management of his first two official qualifying duels for the Concacaf Nations League, the attacker took the opportunity to give his assessments.
“We went through a time when it was very difficult for us to achieve our goals. “The Spanish national team in 1982 left a big mark on us, they were always talked about: Macho Figueroa, Primi Maradiaga and we had to leave our mark, it wasn’t easy and it started from France 1998 to 2010,” he said at the beginning.
Regarding the group that Reinaldo Rueda is working with, the former Bicolor striker felt that it will be difficult for them to improve.
“These new generations in Honduras are not bad, they have good raw materials, but we have to work on it, as they did with us, where a lot has been done to develop our potential.”
And he added: “These children are doing very well today, but they need a lot of work and the fact that Professor Rueda has arrived is a plus for them because they still have a lot to learn, but it will depend on them.”
Given the comparisons with the past generation, which secured its ticket to the last World Cup with Honduras.
Who will replace Pavón or Amado? Nobody replaces anyone, they have to mark their era like we did after Spain 82 and it cost us a lot, it will be the same for them.”
The lover said it too
The great captain of the H, Amado Guevara, took part in the duel between the legends of Honduras and those of America from Mexico and was consulted by the press about Rueda.
“Talking about Professor Rueda has a very special feeling, with him we managed to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa. “He knows the peculiarities of the Honduran football player, the moment and the situation he is going through, it is important to be patient for the time he has to work.”
