Ibon Navarro was not especially angry after his team’s defeat on the Le Mans track, the first of the season in European competition. The Basque coach spoke at a press conference about his feelings after the game.
“Our goal is to go as far as possible in the Champions League, we are favorites because of the club’s history, but these things can happen,” he said.
Recognition of the rival’s good game
Navarro summarized what he saw during the 40 minutes: “We have to congratulate Le Mans, they have earned it. They played with a lot of energy and weakened our strengths. When we tied the game, we had two losses that prevented us from continuing rowing. We had problems with the faults. Le Mans deserved to win, they played with much more energy and we could have won. You may think that our fatigue is an excuse, but it is not. We lost because Le Mans was better, it has nothing to do with the Real Madrid game,” he stated.
Perry: “The rebound failed us”
Kendrick Perry also appeared before the press. “I think teams know they have to have energy against us. We have to hope that they are going to play us like that. They played very well tonight. The rebound failed us, it allowed them to score and we took a step back in that regard. The zone, the losses were also a key to the gameeither. We gave everything to turn the game around, but it wasn’t enough. We cannot afford to play the game we have played. There was still time, they had good streaks. “We gave it our all.”
