Bernal: “We did the wrong thing against Burgos”

The Galician team fell into Burgos’ trap and ended up being the new team that left Burgos’ fiefdom empty-handed. The first half saw the superior locals duel with intensity and efficiency that was enough to score two goals, leaving Racing knocked out. In the second half, the green team took a step forward in terms of possession and approach control, but were not close to the goal and ended up falling and leaving empty-handed. Jesus Bernal commented on his team’s performance in Burgos:

Two completely different parts: “We didn’t perform as well as the team should have, and on a field where no one managed to win. The first two runs are two goals that decide the match, then with some runs we have a slightly better run, but in the end we miss the second one. I think that in the first half we did not dominate and did not show the football that we wanted. It is true that in the second match we showed a different desire, wanting to be what we usually are, and we created chances but did not score the goal that would have allowed us to enter the game.”

No game controls: “There are games and games, but this time we went into the game in the wrong direction. They won a lot of matches against us, especially at the beginning, and at the end the goal they conceded is decisive. When we created several chances, we ended up missing the second one. The second part is marked by these two actions and the wrong exit.”

No prize in the second part: “It was clear to us that we had to score a goal. If we had thought about the latter, we wouldn’t have done it. I think we created a lot of chances with some shots and some rebounds that went wide and in other games they probably would have been converted. He didn’t want to come on and if you don’t score first you’re going to look a little off in the last few minutes. Until the last moment we tried to score a goal and enter the game, but we failed.”

Changes in resting state: “We knew even before the start of the second part that we did it wrong. We know the shirt we wear and felt the best way to present it was to go all out, as we always do. From that point on, the result wasn’t what we wanted, but at least we fought until the end, which we’re proud of, even though it wasn’t the match we wanted.”

trap match: “You come with enthusiasm, because no one has won here, and we don’t know how to impose. “Just continue to work with calm and courage, thinking about Levant.”

Restore game: “It is difficult to maintain such a high level throughout all tours, and I think this will happen to all teams. We need to continue to work and try to play our football as we saw in the second half, which was quite acceptable, and we need to continue to improve, winning individual matches to help the team. Next Sunday we need to restore good feelings with our people.”
