It allows him to organize exhibition games during the team’s training camp. Tuesday, a very different friendly was organised. De Santis and the Impact coaching staff challenged the coaches of the Honduras national team, also based in Sunrise for a training camp.
“The Honduras coaching staff immediately accepted the challenge,” explained De Santis. "It’s proof once again that our club has gained credibility and notoriety. We are working hard for our team to gain recognition on the international scene.”
“It’s important for us to have good relations with the other teams that we meet when we travel on the road. It’s an enjoyable way to make contacts, which can certainly be useful in the future. All the means are good to improve the relations between the clubs.”
“And it keeps us in shape. I scored six goals in the game,” De Santis mentioned jokingly.
A similar game was organized in Italy, February 10, when the Impact coaching staff faced the coaches of club Fiesole Caldine and a few managers of the OSA Soccer Academy.
