Robert Harrison, who was present at the groundbreaking for the improvements that will be made at the Arsenio Erico, spoke about the current status of the selection and what it projects for the future.
He highlighted the process that Guillermo Barros Schelotto started, pointing to the next qualifiers with the friendly that will be played on August 31 with Mexico. “This new micro cycle that began with the Absolute National Team with local players, who are the ones who are going to play this game against Mexico, who will also play with a local team, is going to be very useful to us and especially for the coach who You will be able to see the footballers, know what situation they are in, so that they understand their work methodology. I am sure that the greater number of matches will be better and better for the national team”
“We must remember that the World Cup is held in November and December, once it is over, the tie will begin to be projected, which we still do not have very clear when it will start, but I understand that this will be brought forward due to a matter of calendar, since they are going to play some tournaments that will make the agenda tighter, that there will be much more games and consequently that it will be brought forward a little bit, call it March or June of next year the beginning of the qualifiers”, remarked the head of the APF.
Regarding his future, he maintained that “we have to concentrate on what this year means. It is a year where our mandate ends on December 31, there is time to be able to analyze, I can tell you that I received the support and affection of all the leaders for what we did, nobody loves you for just wanting to, simply a great management unfortunately we have not accessed the World Cup, which is ultimately the most important thing and what hits one. So, there is time, we are in August, there is still a long way to go, because the elections would surely be held next year”, asserted Robert Harrison.
