And precisely, Javier García, chosen as the figure of the party, spoke with total frankness and was very self-critical: “You never want to be the figure, we have to be self-critical and start winning at home. We know that We players are not doing well and we have to start to overcome this… Our ambition is to go looking for him, we are at home, we have to win, we have to do things well, everyone has to do their job. The opponents also play, they propose their approach to us, they know us, so let’s hope to do better next time”, he acknowledged.
When asked regarding the coach, García supported Battaglia: “You (journalists) put the criticism, we do not question what the DT does, on the contrary we have to respond and be self-critical, we know that at times in the game we are not doing it well, sometimes it is done well like the other day once morest Lanús and they draw us once more quickly and others not. We are the players who have to be self-critical, the criticism towards Battaglia is made by you, who have a lot of opinions. We do not have an opinion inside Battaglia’s locker room”.
