Miami, United States.
Luis Palma approached the press and spoke at length about his first minutes with Honduras and asserts that it is a great advantage to have Maynor Figueroa and David Suazo in the squad.
Likewise, he confessed how he feels now under the command of Reinaldo Rueda and put an end to the 2023 Gold Cup controversy, where he was not on Diego Vázquez’s final list. What did he say about his signing for Celtic?
What does it mean for you to change teams and return to the Honduran National Team?
It is a joy and excited. It is a new process with the teacher (Reinaldo Rueda) and we hope that everything goes well for us.
What do you think of this start with Reinaldo Rueda?
Very different and a nice theme, really. It is a very experienced coaching staff and we are going to work and learn many of them.
From the beginning, to take ownership in this team that has new aspirations
Yes, there are good teammates, this is the National Team and we must all push for one side, it is what we expect from this new process for what is to come in the Copa América and the next World Cup.
There are no excuses anymore, we must get up in the best way
No, why are you going to make excuses? We are the players, they give us the ideas, but we carry out the work on the pitch.
Your profile is one of the best in Honduran soccer, does it bring you extra pressure?
I don’t know if I consider myself that way, I am a player who works for me, for my family, for the Honduran people and for the Honduran National Team. A lot is expected of me and I hope to God that we all do well.
You can’t hide that now you’re in another category like British football, it gives you a different category
Yes, very happy. Thank God now I was given the opportunity to be at Celtic. Now to show something different in the change of League. I hope to help you a lot in this process.
You already needed to be in the Honduran National Team and how have these first days at Celtic been
Excited as the first time to come to the National Team and it is a privilege for me to be chosen. And the change of air that I had with Celtic, I spent a few days practicing and was very happy and happy.
Was leaving the Honduran National Team a lesson for you?
I never walked away from the National Team, I am the person who will never say “no” to the National Team. Previously, it was due to technical decisions, I have to respect, now I am in a new process.
What did you talk to Choco Lozano?
We were talking about the team change, about personal things. There is going to be a nice group, a nice atmosphere in this Selection and hoping that next Friday we can pull out the catracha claw and get a win.
A new beginning, do you feel a new group and illusion?
Professor Reinaldo Rueda already knows the Honduran player a lot, he already knows his abilities and weaknesses, so there are new players, new guys who have enormous quality, take advantage of that.
What should they do on the court to make the leap?
First listen to the teachers who know about soccer: there is Maynor Figueroa and David Suazo. We put the quality and strive with discipline, there is no excuse.
Is it the resurgence of a team that is asleep?
I don’t know if she’s asleep. Asleep you can say that there are many bad results, I don’t know. There are good colleagues and a good atmosphere.
What does it mean to have David Suazo and Maynor Figueroa?
The “King” met me in 2019 at the World Cup in Poland. Having them as references influences a lot, they give you tips to take things into account within the Honduras National Team.
