Benitez: “We were punished for our mistakes”
Message to fans: “You need to analyze the game well. In the first minute we made two or three mistakes in one game and were already losing 0:1. This already has a big impact on you in a match with a good team, very tense, with good players. This is a team that can’t give anything away, and we set that goal for them. It’s difficult for us in arguments, it’s difficult for us to win the first and second moves. I would focus on the team’s reaction. We made a mistake that most of all we wanted to avoid a second goal, but the team continues to fight, press, the players who come come well, and we score a goal, but it was too late. Our mistakes punished us from the very beginning.”
Fans asked to stop: “I am completely focused on what is happening on the field. My job was to make the change, I think it went well, but it wasn’t enough because we gave the opponent the first goal and then the second can happen when you go on the field. The team survived until the end.”
Referee: “I didn’t talk about the judges for a while because at first, when I said what was going on, it seemed like I was making excuses, and that was the reality. “We focused on what we can do, what we can do.”
Grass: “The club has tried three times to improve the condition of the grass, but until you get down to improve the drainage, the situation will not be ideal. They tell us that things will get better now, but that’s not good and it doesn’t help us either.”
Stop the conversation: “What we did was adjust the midfield area, make changes and make the team understand that in these conditions it is better to play long and not so short. But we forget that in front of us was a team that plays in the Champions League, with many international and quality players.”
Sotelo: “You need to analyze everything a little: how people are, what kind of opponent you are facing and the conditions on the field. We wanted to level the physical level, apply pressure and be on top. It was a game where you had to make very few mistakes and take advantage of your opponent’s mistakes. Unfortunately, they made fewer mistakes than us.”
Mistakes of Anger: “If the team doesn’t win, I have to get angry and analyze why. Let’s see if we can learn from these things. “I can’t do anything except see it, analyze it and prepare for the next one.”
