In addition, the Uruguayan coach also attacked the game proposed by Junior, which, according to him, was burning time from the first minute.
“I think we shot 22 times on goal already. door were very few. Without a doubt, we were rushed and erratic in that definition”, Arias began about the 0-0.
He then applauded how the ‘cardinal played. “One chooses the full glass or the empty one. today was one of the best games we play. It is true that we finished in a hurry and erratic, but to create all the chances we create, we have to do things well. It is the game that left me happiest”.
Regarding the arbitration, he said that “there are things that can be improved, but there are others that I cannot train and they harm a team in the way they made a mistake today.”

“How many years have I been in this and it was a penalty, the doubt was if he was offside and the expulsion (Carlos Moreno) with the leg that marks is not the one that steps on. One day football is going to evolve and former players are going to referee and they will realize that with the attacking leg there is no need. If that had happened, I would agree to the expulsion. I can’t train that.”
“We have to improve from three quarters forward. We needed to accompany our center forward more. We left Wilson very alone from three quarters up. We did so many things well that today it makes me proud to see my players”.
