The way to lose was the most childish and absurd possible in Butarque. That is why the face of the Sevilla coach did not hide his disappointment at the end of the clash against the Leganes (1-0). Sevilla fell due to a penalty committed by Agoume in the final stretch in which the Frenchman made an incomprehensible mistake by grabbing Cisse after a transfer to his goalkeeper that fell short.
Pepper He did not warm to the defeat: «The team played a very serious game, being the protagonist in attack and very supportive defensively, winning duels. It is a very difficult stadium with a very well-worked team and things are clear. He doesn’t shy away from having the ball and creates danger. We have been good and as the game has progressed we have been better, but that serious mistake that we made in our best moment has been a shame. It is a very serious unforced error that we cannot allow. Last week it also happened with the penalty and today the defeat costs us. I feel very bad because they have given up their lives and have worked very hard, but a very serious mistake condemns us to a very hard defeat.”
Speaking specifically of Agoumé penaltyadmitted having seen “the action repeated and I am convinced that the Leganés striker did not reach that ball, but you give a short pass, what you want to do does not come out, you want to correct it and you grab it. You make a mistake once, you make a mistake again… They are young guys and this is very noticeable. Two very serious errors in two days that have cost us two penaltieseven this one with a red card. I feel very bad for the fans who have been here with us cheering. I think they have seen the effort of the players and a fairly complete game in general terms. But when you make these mistakes, the First Division does not forgive you. Leganés was already suffering in the last minutes and waiting for an opportunity to arrive. We gave it to them and that annoys me,” added the coach.
Now it’s time to stop and lose a good part of the group due to international commitments: «Many boys are going with the national team and until next week we will not all be together. It’s a shame because the team was doing things quite well. It’s hard for us to win like everyone else, but at least the opponent deserves to beat you and it’s not because of a mistake on your part like today or last week. A goal like Kubo’s can happen due to the quality of the players, but we cannot allow these actions. I don’t want to individualize anyone because last week it was another player. It is everyone’s issue and we will have to help each other.”
And the Catalan coach believes that the responsibility is shared: «It would be very easy to blame just one player. I have been wrong and we have all been wrong. If we had scored a goal earlier, that mistake would have meant nothing. The squad is very hurt, they believe in what they do and it’s hard to say but it was a pretty serious game. But it is also true that if you make a mistake in such a serious way, it affects you a lot. I hope that the fans do not doubt that in the next home game we are going to give everything,” he concluded.
