“He is a very good professional and humble”

Manuel Keosseián is in his last tournament in charge of Marathón and remembers well the three crowns he celebrated in the Honduran National League, making him the Green Monster’s most successful.

The Uruguayan strategist savors the moment at his 97th anniversary celebrations, remembering and thanking Marathón for all he has accomplished since his arrival in 2006.

Playoffs-only regulations: What does the National League competition code say about the playoffs?

Keosseián was honest and set aside conquests for the feeling of love he received from all purslane fans. He’s stepping up in the Apertura tournament and has a warning against Olancho FC for the second leg of the playoffs.

How does it feel to be the most successful Marathon coach?

It is very important to be on this special day for marathons, 97 years have passed. I have a little history with Marathón since 2006 and now we are in 2022.

How does it feel to be the most successful?

The truth is, what matters most to me is the love I have for the organization and the love people have for me. Then the results come and go.

Which of the three champion trophies you won with Marathón did you enjoy the most?

Not because we faced Real España, but for how it was the last game we played against Real España 13 years ago. We scored at the last minute.

How would you describe Marathon fans?

He is patient, noble, sometimes a little impatient because sometimes you win one game and they say you have to win another. You lose a match and they get very angry, I love them very much because they supported me a lot, I hope we can finish the year well.

Are they for the title?

Marathon is going to be a very difficult game first of all on Sunday, I hope it will be a very good match and the referees will do what is necessary, it is a very sensitive issue that worries me. The referee awarded a penalty that was the opponent’s expulsion, luckily raised the line flag and said no. If the line didn’t see this, it would be barbaric. I hope Sunday will be a good show and the best will win.

What about a Marathon football bet on a field where they already know what it means to win?

It’s tough, we got a good result, this next game is the decisive game. We will do everything we did during the tournament, there is a lot of respect because they have a very good team.

Are you satisfied with Chelito’s first goal?

He is a very good professional, humble, self-sacrificing, very good conditions and of course I am happy for him as I am happy for everyone.

Will Isaac Castillo come to the game after injury?

Let’s see, today was better, let’s hope he can get there.
