The Selecta coach explained the U-20 team’s arrival and final participation in the remaining matches of the Octagonal. “If the 17-year-old was better than the Major in training, I wouldn’t wait 3 years,” he said.

About the players Lisandro Claros and Jaime Ortiz, Who joined Selecta on the second call, Perez confirmed that they will be part of the rotation. “Claros is with us because he can go to Honduras, and we have to keep working with him, because maybe we need another center,” he said.
“As long as Brian Gill doesn’t sign the papers, I can’t say when he’ll be in the Selecta.”
Hugo Perez called young Alejandro Cano (San Jose Earthquakes, flyer), Nathan Ordaz (Los Angeles, in the foreground), Daryl Turcius (FC Cincinnati, midfielder) and Anthony Ramirez (Philadelphia Union, steering wheel), more Jimmy Nagaro and Alejandro Serrano, They are defenders and part of the reserve Alianza FC and Santa Tecla FC, respectively.

“If any of the guys make a good impression on me, we’ll call them up, we have nothing to lose with the guys. If the 17-year-old is better than the major in training, I won’t wait three years and hope to find one like that,” Judge the coach.
Other points
The national coach also talked about other players, such as the case of Nelson Bonilla, whose return to Selecta saved him, although he also realizes that with the increase in covid-19 cases, his access may be jeopardized. “A 9 like him is interesting, we need him, but if Thailand says they will have a week of quarantine on return, we can lose him”, He said.
Regarding VAR, he said the ideal was to have it from the start, but in the end it is a necessary tool and it is already in football today.
And about his coaching staff, he said that they are still waiting to sign contracts, but it is just a matter of formality, because continuity is guaranteed in them for this year. “I am happy with the coaching staff I have, even though they say it is the worst and that they are losers. The idea is to visit federations and clubs in Europe to continue learning (in the future)”via Perez.
