When asked about the significance of winning in front of the fans, the manager revealed a surprising fact. The reporter asked whether he was conscious of the connection with people who cannot return to their homeland, and the manager explained:
“It’s not just about Miami. I’m doing this without pay. I’m not receiving any compensation for managing this team.”
Omar López thus revealed that he is serving as the national team’s manager on a volunteer basis.
He then spoke passionately about his deep feelings for his homeland, Venezuela, which serve as his driving force. After the victory over Japan, he said, “At this very moment, my country is celebrating. People are in the happiest state and are pouring into the streets,” imagining the joy of the people back home. He added that nothing in the world makes him happier than that.
“Because that’s the only thing I can do. It’s the only thing I can do for my country,” he emphasized.
While managing the team with the support of many people and stirring excitement throughout the nation, manager Omar López led his team past the formidable Japan and into the semifinals. Looking ahead to the next stage, he said, “There are two more games left. The whole country might be celebrating for about a week.”
Regarding the dramatic victory that day, he added, “We accomplished it, but that’s already in the past. Now, let’s move on to the next one,” showing that his focus had already shifted to the semifinals.
Finally, he expressed his wish that not only those in Miami but also many fellow countrymen abroad could share in the happiness, saying, “That is the only souvenir I will bring back home.”
He concluded, “Twenty years from now, as I have said before, I will be able to say, ‘At least for a day or two, I made my country happy.’ That is all I need.” With these words, he demonstrated that he is leading the team driven by pure love for his homeland.
Meanwhile we’re wearing “FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY” shirts and making stupid rules about handshakes
Miguel Cabrera is also working for free… In his words:
« Yeah, fuck that $200,000 bullshit, you know what I got from the Tigers? »
Based. Is that the correct way to use that term?
Team USA could also pay me nothing and I’d do a better job managing this roster than DeRosa
Lord please give me Venezuela beating USA in the final
