- How it has been all this time without soccer?

It has been completely difficult, but I think that I have surpassed it because I have drawn up as objective fundamental the recovery of my knee; that has maintained to me with desire someday to return to play. I consider that I am obtaining it.

- Many think that this it is his aim.

Until I thought it when I became to injure, but to God thanks I had the forces and the conviction that would return to play and I am obtaining it with work and the dedication that I have maintained in the recovery.

- It is the worse thing than it has happened to him in his soccer race?

Yes, he has been most difficult, most complicated. I believe that it is not compared with other things of the life, but can say that it has been the most complicated in me race.

- How it defines these two years that have lived without soccer?

Negatives. My race has taken a very difficult course. I think that I have fallen in a pocket and until now I am managing to raise to me.

- At some moment it said: Hasta here, better me retiro?

Yes, it had a little while, but it was there where she appeared my family to support and to raise to me to me.

- and of its experiences in Europa& what can count?

It is a pretty dream that I lived. Somehow I consider it spectacular, because I managed my objective to arrive until Europe, since were not beloved, although the first season was not bad; second it was far better going to be, but in that the injuries came and later the change came from the Udinese to the Salernitana. But I cannot deny it, was one pretty experience in the Udinese and I know that someday I will return to Europe.

- What places knew in the Old Continent?

A year I was in Spain, later I visited Austria in preseason; soon in Paris, Slovenia, the Croatia and in several places where me equipment had to fulfill friendly and official parties.

- What place was the one that I make an impression to him more '?

Without a doubt that Italy, by its soccer, its history, its food. It impressed his standard of life to me, mainly the people of the north.

- In Europe is racismo& you it sufrio '?

Horseman sighed and to at the moment he changed a little the semblante him soon to respond: they En some form is possible to be said yes that, because there is a series of differences between the people; not only black and white, but that also Latin and European since a weakness exists to see of less the Latins. I lived it in own meat and he was not fácil& I can tell an example you of the Chilean David Pizarro who entered a store and the owner said to him that he did not want to see it and that that Pizarro is white.

- Which was its better moment in Europe?

I believe that it was when I arrived, I began to play and I wrote down important goals.

The trip of return from Amarateca to Tegucigalpa we make in the automobile of Samuel Horseman. It is a BMW of luxury, gray. It lowers volume to him to the radius while it lines up by the highway.

- How it was its childhood?

She was hard, as I believe that it has been for many in our country. I grew in an extremely difficult atmosphere and from small I had to work, to study and to dedicate me to soccer. From very small I formed in the inferior ones of the Olimpia, I had an ephemeral passage by the Melgar of Greater Liga soon to arrive at the first equipment of the Olimpia.

- How it was its life in Brus Lagoon?

I did not grow in that community of the Mosquitia, because my parents emigrated to the capital when I was four years old and here were where I grew. My memories in Brus Lagoon are few, but I have visited several times some relatives who live there and I have verified that is a tourist place where it is lived on the hunting, the fishing and seedtime. Simply it is a place to rest.

- With whom crio '?

My raising was here in the capital. My mother became position of me but she also emigrated to the United States. Here in Tegucigalpa I grew with the Alvarado family, they supported in me race to me and they taught the value to me of many things.

- How it was the life in the capital?

Normal, it went to all the places because the capital one was calm, did not exist the fear that assaulted to me or me mataran& like now. Why I can say that I had a good childhood because my parents worried to give the best thing me.

- What did before dedicating itself to soccer?

He studied in the Central Institute Vicente Cáceres and worked in the press of my padrastro. My dream was to remove the race from Physical education, but the idea to play the soccer was stronger that any other thing.

To the automobile it has left little combustible. Samuel Horseman stops in a powerboat. Hoy yes touches invitarme, says to you, smiling. It requests a tea. Nothing else. Payment and again to the highway. No creás that is going to you to save of the invitation. We left for another one oportunidad it, says to me.

- How one feels in its return to the Selection?

I feel very contented to return to the Selection, but moan that we depend on a party to classify to the following A stage which we could have acceded without no problem.

- What felt when it received the call so that it appeared to the H?

Much joy, because as all Honduran were worried about the situation that has passed the Selection, but now here I am arranged to contribute a sand granite.

- What waits for the 17 of November?

A great celebration, a great party that I hope we pruned to win, that we give the joy him to all the Honduran town and which we classify to the following phase to fight by since it takes us the World-wide one.

- What would happen if we did not classify?

A crisis in our soccer would come, I dare to say that it would descend completely. I know clearly that we gambled much in that party and I do not want to think about the things that would come if we lose.

- Pero& to you does not cross by the mind a defeat to him?

No, at no moment and it is why I say to you that I do not want nor to think about which it is possible to be come if we lose.

- For many, some players of the previous process were sold. It is certain?

No, no, pitifully they are going it to continue doing although all the players we say that in the previous process we acted with responsibility and honesty until the last party.

- Until when we will have Samuel Horseman in the fields?

I for a long time hope that ja, ja, ja. While God gives me life I want to follow bound to soccer.

- What has the future in near for Samuel: Olimpia, the MLS or the National of Uruguay?
God will say what will come, are already clarifying to certain ways and certain possibilities to me that I put them in the hands of God.

- it does not fear to finish like other players; in the abandonment?

No, I believe that my race has been quite successful and people always will remember to me.

- What has made the money yet that has won?

I have supported in everything what I have been able to my family, comfort including. People think that one gains great amounts of money, I have won what I have deserved myself, but nonamounts like other players who are mentioned at international level. To God thanks which I have won has served to me to be well and she has allowed me to project to me in the future with a good investment.

- When it was the last time that I cry '?

Memory that was when I injured the knee for the first time; the second time that I injured myself no longer I cried because it knew that it could surpass it since I did it in the first occasion. I want to you to trust that I not only cried but that also I suffered in the soul to be in this situation.

- What thinks of the corruption that there is in Honduras?

Lamentably the corruption in our country has arrived at quite high levels. What it is possible to be done is to hope as much that someday we pruned to have a right democracy for all, for rich as for poor men, but pitifully we are walking to a democracy where always the rich one is richer and the poorest poor man.

- It likes the reading? What books prefer?

I prefer those of sexual education in the marriage, but there is a book that never fails to me: the Bible because I create much in God.

- What thinks of the war about Iraq?

At no moment I am in agreement with the war, less than they go Honduran to which is not incumbent on to us. I think that they are interests created of countries powers and simply I do not agree.

- is justified the war in Iraq?

Clear that no, and the worse thing is than the invading country makes see that the bad ones are the Iraqians, who in truth are a town that has suffered because of badly a dictator. But if it is thus, they must invade everybody.
