Honduras has its River-Boca and it will be played this Saturday, starting at 8 p.m. The curious thing is that, as happens in many parts of the football world, where the boom of Argentine coaches lives its moment of splendor, in the match between Motagua and Olimpia too There will be two compatriots on the bench: Cesar Vigevani, recently in charge of Las Águilas, will have the very difficult mission of ending the 23-game undefeated record of the current champion of the Honduran league led by Pedro Troglio. “The country is paralyzed to see it and we will try to live up to it,” said Vigevani.
Troglio is already a celebrity in a Honduras that seeks to install its big teams in international competitions. Vigevani arrived there, along with his field assistant Ariel “Chino” Guevara, a coach who has a long history in Latin America. The fact is that the DT from Motagua, with extensive travel in the lower parts of River, before arriving in Honduras passed through Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, among other destinations. And today he will know what it is to experience the national classic. “We live with a lot of euphoria and the country stops to see it. As a coach, you also experience it differently. There are many extra motivations, we come from playing a great game on Wednesday and it helps us arrive with confidence and with high self-esteem,” commented the coach in a one-on-one with Ole.

THE DOOR THAT TROGLIO OPENED
Troglio, who did not want to lower the price of the match even though he has not lost in seven matches against Motagua, stated that “They are separate parties and have to be taken very seriously”. For his part, Vigevani did not fail to highlight the influence that the arrival of the former coach of Gimnasia de La Plata to Honduras had to open the doors to the coaches of Argentina and commented: “The work that Pedro did, the long-term project that he implemented here, undoubtedly opened doors for us. It’s something you begin to understand after being outside for so long. At the time in Ecuador, when I arrived, everything that Patón Bauza had generated in the Quito League was very much alive; When I went to Chile, I arrived with the whole Marcelo Bielsa revolution in the national team. When one succeeds abroad, it is not an individual triumph, but rather it opens doors for compatriots who may come behind.”
Troglio’s success opened possibilities for other Argentines.
A CURIOSITY: VIVEGANI ALMOST LEADS OLIMPIA
However, few know that he was also close to reaching the team he will face tonight. “For some time now we had the possibility of working in Central America, in my case the chance to go to Saprisa in Costa Rica became very present when I was in Peru, and here in Honduras I had a first acquaintance with Olimpia, when Pedro went to San Lorenzo. And on this occasion everything happened very quickly, with a talk with Emilio Izaguirre, the sports director, who has a lot of experience even at the European level, and since the professional profile he wants to give to the club coincided with my vision, we agreed right away,” he said.

THE DREAM OF FACEING MESSI
But, beyond the Superclásico that will be played today, Motagua has an international agenda in which it is about to enter a tournament that could put it face to face with Leo Messi. “Being competing to enter the most important tournament in Central America with such a tight schedule, because we have two local classics with the cup match with Saprisa in the middle, gives us another brush, motivates us a lot. We want to enter, it’s the Libertadores here. Teams from the United States and Mexico play in the Concachampions, and without going any further, Leo Messi’s Inter Miami is classified, which has everyone watching. “It is a great tournament that can be very important for us as a coaching staff, for the players and the club,” he explained.
