Xelajú MC managed to win the game that he needed to maintain the hope of classifying the final phase, after imposing himself on Imperial Cobán (2-0). But the national champion depends a lot on Malacateco defeating Marquense.
For now, the national champion is in the classification zone, in the eighth place, with 24 points, the same as he has Marquensebut with better goals difference.
The detail is that the goats will rest on the last day, so they only have to expect the bulls to win over their visit to the Marquise de la Ensenada, although the coach Amarini Villatoro sees it difficult, since he is the name of the “classic of friendship”.
“I see it very difficult, since the classic of friendship is going to be played, as they call him. We appeal for Malacateco to win, because he aspires to a good place in the accumulated that, if municipal is champion, could reach second place and advance to the international tournament. We hope that serves as motivation “he said.
It does not suit them
Villatoro insisted that it is very complicated to depend on a result to advance, because it ensures that no team is convenient for them to get into the final phase.
“We have to wait to see what happens. I see it complicated. No one should be between Xela, because we would be a stone in the shoe for anyone. We would become a complicated rival. In the end, we are like this because we stop doing, and we fail, “he said.
The strategist was self -critical and assured that this will be a failure for the team, which is considered main responsible. In addition, he commented that accommodation, Superb and excess of confidence took its toll.
“We are one of the schools that is obliged to classify and be at the top positions. It would be a failure of all, but I am the main culprit. There are situations that, by accommodation, pride and excess confidence, an invoice passed us And we wanted to react when everything was already very tight and fought. The situation is sad of our team in this tournament; It was something mediocre and very irregular. It was not what was planned for the team of players that is available, ”he said.
