José David Vega, the goalkeeper for San Carlos, spoke to the press after the club’s 1‑1 draw with Pérez Zeledón on Saturday. The match was played at the Estadio Municipal de San Carlos, and the result left the team still in contention for the league’s final stages. Vega was called up to train with the Costa Rica national team on Monday, a call that came as part of head coach Bryan Ruiz’s preparations for the upcoming South American tour that will include friendlies against Ecuador and Argentina. Ruiz has selected three goalkeepers for the tour: Patrick Sequeira, Abraham Madriz and Bayron Mora. When asked about his focus during the match, Vega said, “I was trying to concentrate only on Saturday’s game. I had a lot on my mind, but I wanted to give my full attention to the match because the most important thing was to get a positive result. A draw doesn’t help much, but as long as we’re alive we’ll keep fighting.” He added that the draw was not a major concern for him at the time. Regarding the national team call, Vega expressed excitement but also a sense of maturity. “It’s an honor to be considered. I’m looking forward to training with the national squad, but I was focused on the match and will have more time to analyze everything now,” he said. When asked whether he would be part of the South American tour, Vega replied, “I don’t know. That’s for the coaching staff to decide. I don’t know Patrick, but I know Abraham and Bayron and they’re very good keepers. It’s not my place to say.” San Carlos sporting director Carlos Acosta noted that the club was uncertain whether Vega would be sent to the national team’s training camp. Vega countered that he had already made his decision. “I was mentally prepared for the match, and now I’ve got my things ready. I’m excited and happy. I’ll be there on Monday. I felt a little nervous because of the excitement, but that’s normal. I’ll make the most of these training days and enjoy the experience,” he said. When asked if Bryan Ruiz had personally contacted him about the call, Vega said, “It’s the coach’s decision. I don’t have to do anything about it.” Vega also reflected on his personal development during the tournament. “Playing each match gives me more confidence and excitement. The team is fighting for important things. We’re still in the qualification zone, and we need to win the next two games against Escorpiones and the league side to keep our chances alive,” he concluded.
