Despite the Reds not being able to add any wins to this FIFA date, the national team boss is optimistic about the players’ performance and how they are adapting to the way they play.
La Roja will withdraw from Asia without winning in the first round of fixtures under manager Eduardo Berizzo. In the three matches he was responsible for, he suffered a 2-0 loss to South Korea on his debut, plus the loss to Tunisia and a penalty shootout drop to Ghana (0-0 at the 90′) in the definition of third place in the Kirin Cup despite the fact that La Roja spent 12 minutes with two other men on the pitch.
Despite these numbers, the coach is optimistic about the data he was able to gather in these three games. After being consulted on the general assessment, he indicated that “it has to do with the discovery of certain footballers on this tour. There are footballers who can get involved in whatever you want. We have to keep working, find our game development “, he said at a press conference.
Regarding the rivals, he said that “they have been a good stick for us, to know where we are. I like the spirit and the atmosphere that emanates from it. Now our work begins so that the international contact makes them grow . We leave with a great learning from the team and other people will join. My mood and goals are good, with positive feelings “, he added.
In addition, he was consulted on the absences of Joaquín Montecinos and Víctor Méndez, although he did not specify the precise cause, he generalized stating that “this tour meant overcoming many casualties. This forced us to use another tactical drawing, this is the line we found. Everyone must buy into this idea and commit to it for the future ”.
Finally, regarding the work done against Ghana, he said that “the game lacked intelligence, passing the ball from one side to the other with rapidity. We even had 9″ triples.
In turn, Paulo Díaz told La Roja’s official channels that “it was good to meet the new technical staff, the new teammates who are joining. Out of the three games I think it’s bad because of the result, but because of the game I think we’ve improved a lot . We had an idea of the game and that was reflected in the matches.”
“New people come to show that they want to be here and obviously the spirit must always be there to do it in the best way and I hope that in the next call, the same spirit will continue to achieve good results,” he added.
