Alfredo Arias, the technician of Santa Fe, He was very sorry at the press conference after his team’s incredible defeat against Atlético Bucaramanga, this Friday, at the Alfonso López stadium.
The Reds were up on the scoreboard until the 90th minute, and then Dayro Moreno scored two goals in stoppage time to give his team the victory.
Despite the defeat, Arias highlighted the performance of his team. “Trying to abstract myself from the last minutes, where the two goals were scored, I watched the game calmly, very proud of what my team and my players were doing, their courage to play, team up, exploit the speed on the sides” Arias explained at a press conference.
Alfredo Arias’ analysis of the last minutes of the game
Arias regretted the concentration errors that cost him the defeat. “There is a before and after their first goal. The performance was good, we had a good performance at the beginning, then Bucaramanga squeezed us, took the ball away from us a bit, we made a couple of corrections for the second half, we started very well and until their first goal we played a good game”, he said. .
On whether Santa Fe deserved more in this game, Arias declared: “Yes, without a doubt. We also deserved less in other games that we won. But without a doubt, we deserved more. But they don’t give you merit points or take them away from you. The squad and the coaching staff must do our mea culpa and find the solution to the errors in this game, because it was two minutes. Other than that, the team played well. And we have not brought up that we were left with 10, and that with 10 we did things well. They did not show that they could reach us.”
Arias was criticized for the changes he made at the end to try to keep the score, shortly before Edwin Herrera’s expulsion. “There is soccer here and these things happen, you play a game for 93 minutes and you play it badly for two minutes, it is about overcoming these situations and being focused on the chances that the rival could have, we saw as a result of a corner that they throw at us and they head frankly, there I make the changes: we were dominating the game, it is not going to be that in a corner they can tie the game for us, reinforce that aerial and frontal ball”.
Arias insisted on the lack of concentration that cost Santa Fe the defeat. “We did well, we defended well until the corner that we defended poorly. And then the ball as a result of nervousness, we complicated ourselves. Today we control it, where they could pass the ball when they had it and where their best player, soccer, could receive it. It’s going to be difficult to get up, but we’re going to get up.”
