The Costa Rican technician Rodrigo Kenton emphasized the tactical discipline that his players showed the night of Wednesday, the 3rd and that it provided in a victory of 3-1 over the United States for the Concacaf hexagonal one in the direction of the World 2010.
Without concealing his emotion for the result, Kenton admitted that before the party the panorama “was turning out to be difficult’ and emphasized that the power of the rival that his team had should face.
“ We had a very important rival at the head but one always believes in the team. Today it was of these days where the options took advantage, especially in the first time. The USA is the giant of the area and to play them today this way demonstrates that Costa Rica has players who can have a good tactical discipline and who can collapse”, said the strategist.
I satisfy for the result, Kenton qualified the game “like one he battles more that it was gained by claw and courage”.
For his counterpart, Bob Bradley, the plan of the North Americans changed to the first minute, after the goal of Alvaro Saborío. “We knew that the party would be difficult. There are always many thoughts, but when the game starts and one feels the pressure, the things are changing. A good example was the first goal, our reaction was a little slow and Saborío was capable of leaving behind a pair of players and of noting down a good goal”, mentioned Bradley.
He insisted that his team failed “in all the areas" and highlighted the flaws in the rear and in the situations from one to one”.
For the annotator of the only American goal, the forward Landon Donovan, the result deserved Costa Rica.
“ Costa Rica played very well. Such a rapid goal affected us because it made us change the planned, which was to do at least a goal in the first time, but in the first 15 minutes we play badly because we do not touch the ball and because Costa Rica played better”, he said.
Bradley indicated that “now we are focused in the next party”, of Saturday, the 6th against Honduras.
While, Kenton said that for the game against Trinidad it will not change his strategy.
“ Costa Rica will be still equal, the favorites are different. We are not the surprise, but we have been doing the things humbly and calladitos. I hope that in Trinidad the players are going to do the things equally of good, or better”.

To win Mexico is already not a consolation for El Salvador in the qualifying rounds mundialistas.
Now, inspired by the Mexican technician Carlos de los Cobos, the Salvadorans want to conquer the "Tri" and dream of climbing positions in the qualifying rounds of the Concacaf to qualify to the Cup of the World of 2010.
“ We do not go to the world cup, but to Mexico we win him”, it was a phrase that 2-1 of El Salvador arose after the place victory on Mexico in the final round of the qualifying round to the world cup of 1994.
The happiness did not last very much in that one then and later El Salvador lost 3-1 in the Aztec stadium and did not qualify to the world cup of the United States.
“ This phrase for us stayed behind”, he said the left side street of the Network Bulls of the American MLS, Alfredo Pacheco. “Now El Salvador is provided with a new generation who is fighting to go out forward and now we are mentalizados in winning Mexico and also we want to go to the world cup”, he added.
For Of the Cobos to face Mexico will be a professional challenge. It will have the privilege of giving the welcome to the new technician of the "Tri", his ex-partner in the Mexican selection and of the America, Javier Aguirre.
“ I am Mexican, I want to my country it is a reality, but it is necessary to understand that the soccer is like that, this is the profession of the technical staff”, told the technician of El Salvador, also ex-driver of the selection sub23 of Mexico.
For of the Cobos “it is not the first one that a technician faces the selection of the country that saw it being born” and put like example the Argentinian Ricardo La Volpe who directed Mexico in the world cup of 2006 and in the quarter finals they faced Argentina, which eliminated them.
“ I do not give him so much importance to that, because it is my profession, my work. I have a commitment with El Salvador and I am going to go even where it is to my scope”, it pointed out.
El Salvador goes penultimate in the hexagonal end with two points in three parties, one less than Mexico, which occupies the fourth place.
