Sebastián Viera came forward and showed his face. He made no excuses for Junior’s humiliating 4-0 loss to Unión de Santa Fe and said that soccer gave them “a slap in the face.”
“Because of more experience, when they don’t come out, they don’t come out. It was a nightmare. We really wanted to go through, we had made a good Cup and it hurts to end like this. Football gives us a slap. I imagine the pain of the people and the disappointment and nothing more, “said the goalkeeper at a press conference.
The Uruguayan goalkeeper also took the opportunity to apologize to the Atletico fans for the performance they had last night at the Metropolitano stadium.
“I want to apologize to the people, we feel very bad, it is a hard blow. We were very excited and really wanted to go through the round”, she pointed out.
In addition to apologizing to the fans of the team, the goalkeeper took the opportunity to tell them that in the League “they are still alive”, so it is time to “get up” immediately.
“I want to apologize to the people, they misbehaved 10 points. It was not an attitude issue. We didn’t give one. When we wanted to try and what we wanted to cause did not come, then they came to ours and scored goals at the right time. Yes, it was wanted, but things did not work out. People have to be told that the League is missing. We are very hurt, because the South American was a great illusion, but tomorrow we have to get up again, concentrate on the tournament, which is very important, and we have to live up to it. We were left out of one of the objectives, but we have to get up as best we can and fight for the League, which we also want”, he concluded.
