“It’s not an excuse, trying to grow with mistakes and more than feeling is a bit of indignation, feeling that the criteria in these four games were not good at all, always against us”he stated.
He also commented that it is a ‘rare’ tournament, since there are many qualifying matches, and they are all played in the same territory.
“It is a very rare tournament, unique in the world, where you play many qualifying matches, always at the opponent’s home with circumstances against you from the first game. Today, unfortunately, we are not efficient in the rival goal, with two important errors that cost us the elimination “said the strategist at a press conference after the game.
