Michael Chirinos had a nice time with Newspaper THE PRESS and he presented his criteria on his life, his new facet as an entrepreneur, his current affairs in Olympia and of course the National selection.
In addition, Olimpia’s 33rd told us which team wanted him during his stay in Mexico and how he sees the panorama of Albo.
The interview
Tell me regarding Radio House Casa Campo, how did this project come regarding?
Thank God it came to mind with a friend, Rodrigo Rodríguez, at the time during the pandemic, which we suffered, and I am grateful to God, since it gave us the idea of forming a restaurant together. I’m happy with what we did with the business.
How regarding this facet of entrepreneur?
In the best way. After some time of the injuries I had in football, well, I began to think regarding many things and God gave me the idea to form the restaurant. I’m thankful to God that I’m doing great. I am trying to learn and assimilate things for the future.
What does the Honduran or foreigner who comes to visit Radiohouse find attractive?
It’s a sports bar, we have very good food. You come and you can watch games or any sporting event you will find it. The idea of us is to serve the client well, we have a VIP area, a large room for birthday events, weddings and concerts.
Do you come to visit your business?
Well, when the pandemic was over a little bit, I came a little more, because I had the injury and a little more time, now that I’m fine I want to recover my level, but I have the support of Rodrigo and other people who are taking care of the restaurant in the best way.
Is it true that to be in Olympia you were rejected four times?
Yes it’s correct. I did tests in reserves and they did not take me into account. There came a time when I was in retirement, I only did it as a hobby, but a game came and I got the opportunity, I scored two goals and the teacher Denilson Costa He told me that he had a contract with reservations.
Do you feel like you are a star at Olympia?
I’m just another player and I just take the opportunities.
How many autographs or photos do they ask for a day?
It depends where you go. If I go to the Mall, people ask me for photos or autographs. If I go to the stadium they ask me for a little more.
Tell me regarding your time with Lobos BUAP in the Mexican league?
In Mexico it was the best thing that ever happened to me, football-wise, following coming to Olimpia. It was my first outing, I scored six goals, I played 33 of 34 games, the only one I didn’t play was due to injury.
Is it true that you were able to play in a big game in Mexico?
Yes, I was at home and they called me, they told me that a team from Mexico had asked for me, and it was the America; but I did not hear anything from the person who called me and that was the issue.
What anecdote do you remember regarding your time in Mexican soccer?
Once I tried the carne asada tacos, I put chili in it and well I thought it was a normal chili, ha ha ha. I split my lips.
Is it difficult to play in Mexico; I say why have not Hondurans returned to play first?
I loved it, it wasn’t difficult for me, the teacher (Francisco Palencia) gave me the opportunity and told me to play calmly, he always talked to him.
Many criticize the game that Olimpia is showing, do you particularly like how Olimpia is playing?
The truth is that this is a new process and that Professor Lavallén is getting to know us in general, and the truth is that it has been difficult for us to understand him because of the whole process that Professor Troglio had in the direct game. There are many of us who are not at an optimal level both individually and collectively, but we are working for that.
What was Pablo Lavallén’s speech?
The teacher knows that Olimpia is a big plus and that the knowledge he has given us is costing us, but the work will always be there, thank God we have professional players who motivate us to get ahead and that helps us improve day to day
How do you see the panorama of Olimpia in the league?
I am very calm and I know my companions. Olimpia in the final instances is another, it is different. I see the dressing room compromised and what has happened to us has hurt us.
For the sake of the show, who would you like to face?
We respect all rivals in general, and if we want to be champions we don’t have to ask for a team. We are going to take the rival that comes very seriously.
Are you worried that we do not have DT in the Bicolor and we have already added more than 40 days?
Many things worry me, and the fact that we don’t have a technician in these instances is difficult. Decisions have to be respected, but personally I would like to have a coach who already does his microcycles, who is advancing, because we have a cup close and move on to the next phase, which is the Gold Cup.
Does it have to be interim or long term?
Yes, he has to be a long-term coach.
What happened to the Selection?
Many things were missing and the qualifying rounds are different, you cannot be invited or be at 70 percent. We didn’t have top players accompanying Maynor, Quioto, Elis or Choco, that was missing for me.
What is the subject you have pending with the Selection?
Yes, qualify for a World Cup. Being there in the starting eleven and seeing the referee whistle and knowing that we have qualified for the World Cup.
