TECHNIQUE AND MENTALITY

“I saw what I was looking for against a very strong team physically until Icardi’s goal, we gave continuity to our performance during the game like never before this season.” Technically we took a step backwards, but we took a step forward as per our mentality, viciousness and sacrifice, we could do something more with our dribbling skills, but they pressed us high up the field. We could have been more courageous, we asked a lot from our wingers, we were not present enough in the box and Higuain was often isolated”.

THE MATCH

“We conceded few chances in the first half, on set pieces and free kicks due to our carelessness, in the second half we won back important balls and it felt like we were in better shape. We held our ground, playing our game: we behaved well on set pieces, there were some good aspects, but this defeat hurts because of how it unfolded. We have to look ahead”.
