The situation
What analysis does he make of the defeat against Atletico:“We played a great game in terms of what we want, but obviously there are situations that penalized us. Although I can’t be upset with anyone, the responsibility for the goal is mine. I ask them to play and they play. We are a team that tries to seek and be the protagonist in the match and that is what we try. Sometimes it can cost us some kind of error, but I do not criticize it. My players have all my confidence to continue playing the same way. I am unhappy with the result because we can generate more. Oblak made two incredible saves, but in the last third you have to focus more and go one on one. The non-completion occurs in transition and that is what needs to be corrected. In defensive transitions he penalized us a lot and we have to improve to have a clean sheet.
The details
Three defeats in a row: “We will work on this because defeats come for a reason and we are clear about what the path is. For a player to be convinced of what he does not do well, you have to put it on video, train and improve. I am worried about the three losses, but we are a team that can and must improve. We are going to do it. It is my responsibility that my team has a collective mentality and has good results. I am convinced that it will turn out well.”
Juan Carlos made a mistake in the 2-0: “The only thing I’ve told him is that I count that mistake as mine, not his. He has given me 25 passing lines, he has always tried to play and mistakes are forgiven. It’s my game idea mistake. He gives us much more than he takes from us.”
Arnau: “He is not injured, it was a change of one player for another. It was a tactical decision.”
Giménez’s action with Arnau that was yellow: “I haven’t seen it repeated. I don’t know, but it didn’t seem like a rough game to me. The referee was fine, although the 8 added minutes were not played. It is perhaps the only thing that in the game there could have been a bit of unfair situations, but not in the rest”.
