“I was calmer when we scored the second goal and it opened the game for us. We knew that we were facing a team with difficulties, but on the field it was seen that they know how to handle the ball, they have a lot of mobility in the middle, it was a complicated rival”, he pointed.
In the same way, he recognized the work of the previous coach. “Generally, I play with a line of 4 or use 4-2-3-1. We did a practice and we didn’t like how it turned out and preferred to keep a system that had been used. Gregorio Pérez is credited with this performance, I just gave some small concepts and I thank the players”, mentioned.
