The five 'famous phrases' of Gustavo Matosas on his way out

Coach Gustavo Matosas will not continue to lead the National Team of Costa Rica. At a press conference, both the coach threw his mind and why he left the homeland bench.

Here, six of his "phrases" to explain why it is done on the side of the Tricolor project towards Qatar 2022.

As of January (date on which his contract began to govern), the strategist made five calls and had little time for the players. Although in the first months he attended stadiums, the helmsman was no longer seen with the same frequency.

The strategist had affirmed in his presentation to be fulfilling a dream with his arrival to a selection that opened its doors wide. After having experience in large Mexican clubs such as León and América.

Many times, when you are on the other side, in teams, you have doubts as to why sometimes players come who are not well or who are not playing much in their teams. ”

The Uruguayan-Argentine had assured that with the quality of the Costa Rican soccer players his work as a coach would be more bearable. On multiple occasions he extolled the technical and tactical qualities of the players, but that was insufficient for the helmsman.

“Costa Rica has good players that can be called all terrain, they have skill, strength, endurance, in some cases good physique, they have speed. You will need the help of experienced players and the character of the youngest. Wearing the shirt of your country is never simple. Young people will need guided talent and character. ”

His main task was to take Sele to Qatar 2022. What was initially an "ambitious project" did not end up being attractive to the coach. “I feel that there is a passion that pushes you, that excites you, that gives you a lot of hope, the support you need for your team to win”, he had exterminated in his first press conference in which he promised to give his best .
