Matias Almeydacoach of Sevillaappreciated the defeat that his team suffered this Monday in Mallorca in the match that closed matchday 22 of LaLiga EA Sports. The Argentine coach regretted the defeat conceded against a direct rival in a match … which they arrived after having managed to win the previous day.
«In the first half we were at a disadvantage, but we tied. We had order and attitude. In the second we made a lot of mistakes with passes and losses of lateral marks. Too many mistakes against a direct rival. We made many mistakes again and we paid dearly for that. We have to continue insisting and working, but today we are one step below,” Almeyda acknowledged.
The Argentine admitted that “the second half hurt me a lot because the rival took advantage of errors that were too easy in lateral crosses or on the second ball.” “These are topics that we have already talked about, trained and seen, but we have to insist, there is no other option,” he assumed before pointing out that “the small details become big when it ends like this.” “We cannot remain in regret because we did not come for this but for what we did in the first half,” he added.
“We have to insist and work hard,” he continued. «We are going to have these peaks. We have to be calm in quotes to correct knowing what we are at stake and that we are not able to have that regularity,” he elaborated.
«We are always attentive to the points, but that does not worry me. “I’m more worried about making similar mistakes, which we have corrected, seen, talked about, and that lack of concentration at this point… we are aware of what we are playing,” he complained. «It is conceding too much to direct rivals. In the first half the team was doing well, making it difficult for the rival, who is strong on their court. He took advantage of our mistakes. “You have to be focused for 95 minutes,” he warned before insisting that “if your opponent beats you for many reasons, fine, but not because of your own mistakes.”
