Vancouver Whitecaps control destiny heading into Honduras
Despite tough travel and punishing weather, the Vancouver Whitecaps know they have the upper hand as they prepare for CONCACAF Champions League play this week.“Honestly, we know we have an advantage. But in football, there’s a lot of surprises,” midfielder Pedro Vite said via a translator Tuesday. “You’ve seen a lot in the past where a team has a three-goal lead and the other team will come away with the result.
The result gives them a big cushion as they head into the back end of the two-game aggregate series in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, on Wednesday. The trip from Vancouver to Honduras was lengthy and, with temperatures expected to hit 33 C around kick off Wednesday, the conditions are far from what the Whitecaps are used to.
“I think we need to be very, very good positionally and not give up anything, especially in our midfield because they can create problems,” he said. “The more patient we will be, the more chances we will have to score a goal and get forward on the scoreboard.”
