Henry Martin He let out all the emotions contained throughout a season where he experienced endless doubts both from the American fans themselves and from the large sector of the press and that is why with the title of three-time champion in style he stated that: “To America “He can never be considered dead.”
Interviewed at the end of the match, the captain of the Águilas stated that: “Throughout the season we overcame injuries, our own stadium, criticism. and for that reason I insist that this team can never be considered dead.“We are the only ones who knew we could achieve important things and here is the result.”
Henry highlighted that: “I never thought I would experience this at my age.””I’m very happy, I never thought about it since I arrived in America, I think things were happening and now I’m sure that we are all legends on this team.”
Martín insisted that: “It was very difficult, previously they thought we were all dead during the tournamentWe weren’t good, we weren’t complete either, we didn’t have a home, we played away the entire tournament, they have been very difficult moments, but that is the greatness of America, the greatness of overcoming everything. Coming to a complicated stadium, against a very difficult rival, doing what was done today makes me proud of the team, of the hunger, the ambition to transcend, to want more, all of that is passed on to you by this shield.”
Martín also had time to say that throughout his career in America he has always had to overcome questions: “Since my arrival in America I have always had to show that I could, they said I didn’t have the level and the work has allowed me to get ahead, demonstrate my ability on the field.”
The forward from Yucatán stated that: “Without a doubt, the three-time championship is the demonstration that this group prevailed over everything, that the atmosphere is tremendous, “that we all decided to pull evenly, to move forward against everything and everyone.”
Henry also added that: “It is a happiness that has no words.”is the example that when you set a goal you are able to prevail over all adversities, I think we prevailed over many things, criticism from the press that always strongly questioned everything, also criticism from our own fans. “They said that we were already finished, that nothing was going to happen and here we are happy celebrating.”
Finally he said: “This team does not have time to think about big celebrations, the next tournament is coming and we have to be ready to continue fighting for everything, I think that is part of of what is experienced in this organization, of the challenges and goals that we always have here.”
