Celtic faults
“They punish you every time they have the chance. Modric’s goal was his first shot and it was a great goal. All goals are avoidable, but against that it is impossible. In the second half we had two for 2-2 and the third It did a lot of damage because they play with a different level of calm. The team was good, but at 1-4 it’s difficult. They’re a rival from a different hierarchy”.
The absence of Denis Surez
“We send greetings to his mother, who has suffered an inconvenience. We have to analyze the game, not the players we can’t have. We played a great game in the first half, but Madrid punishes you a lot. In the first half we got the penalty against, then in minute 42, the first of the second half… It’s the hierarchy, the quality they have. We made them feel uncomfortable for a long time, but we didn’t punish them to have more space. There is a big difference in level, we know it and we are aware of our limitations. We have to keep working and growing”.
Transfers?
“scar can do it without any problem, but we have to work to sustain the system without a pivot. We need more time to work and settle the game idea and recovery well. Since I arrived, the characteristics of the players were given to play that way. But in other teams, until things flowed, I played with two pivots. Work times have been very short, with people who have arrived at the last minute, although it is not an excuse. I am satisfied with what I have, but we need work time.”
lack of reaction
“What makes me happy is with so little time to work, the team tries, generates, but after a 1-4, everything that is said is complicated. After 1-2 we had the clearest situations. In my way of Seeing the third goal hurt us a lot because it gave them a lot of peace of mind, two goals down against a rival like that is complicated. It’s difficult to make an assessment when you have this rival in front of you”.
The changes
“With such a complicated result, we tried to go looking for it, but if we sustained with two up and at that rate we could pay more. It was up to players who had not done so to play, so that they find sensations, gain rhythm. After 1 -4, I didn’t see how to change the result. It hurts us not to have a reference, especially to keep the ball with our backs”.
