San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
the canada team left the Olympic stadium frustrated after the 2-1 defeat they suffered against Honduras by Concacaf Nations League.
John HerdmanDT of the Canadian team, showed his face after the end of the game and gave strong words pointing out that the grass was not ideal for playing soccer after the strong storm that hit San Pedro Sula on Monday night.
“A very difficult match. All credit, they handled the conditions. It was like starting a Formula 1 car on a dirt road, at least that’s how it felt.”, began by saying the technical director of the Maple Leaf.
Herdman complained that the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Soccer made them play in a sports venue that was not suitable for playing soccer.
“There were a lot of areas where we wanted to develop our best plays, but everyone was slipping. I can’t believe we’re stepping onto the field with players costing $80 million.but today they played in puddles ”, he finished.
On the other hand, the coach of the World Cup team gave some assessments of the match: “I felt that whoever scored first was going to control the game and they definitely did, all credit to Honduras”, he analyzed.

Finally, he congratulated the Bicolor for the victory but threatened that the second leg will be held until March 28, 2023.
“If the conditions had been more perfect for the style of play and the physicality… our moment will come and we will do it at home. You’re not going to win every game, so we’re ready for whatever comes next on the way,” he said.
In the final stretch of the game, six minutes of discount were added, however, the match was hardly played since then due to field invasions and altercations between the same soccer players.
“It is what it is, this is Concacaf. There were fans that entered the field… we can’t complain about the fans, but about the safety of the players, that’s the biggest concern. They were not one, not two, not three, not four, maybe five times (that entered), doing what they wanted on the court “hill.
