The Argentine coach hinted that decisions would only be made in Lima, “with a cool head”, he said. Regarding the feeling surrounding his team after the elimination, the Tiger admitted that “it is a feeling of frustration and pain. It is something that upsets us all, we know the sacrifice of the people who have come here, so far”. However, he admitted that ‘we were able to reach the World Cup’.
World Cup qualifying elimination in the hands of Australia It was very difficult to digest for the players and the coach of Peru, Ricardo Gareca . This was acknowledged by the Argentine during a press conference in which he described the feeling of the team and the technical staff.
“It is difficult to express what we are going through, because we had high expectations. We were close, but that didn’t happen. The rival worked well in the match, although we had our chances in attack,” Tiger’s speech began.
Also, he confirmed that “We have a feeling of frustration and pain. It is something that shocks us all, we know the sacrifice of people who have come here, so far, from all over the world. And people who are in Peru. I know what mobilizes the selection. In this aspect, we all know. It’s a big disappointment, we wanted to make this possibility of coming back to the World Cup a reality, it’s been a long road, but we have to accept. That’s football, especially when it happens during a penalty shootout and unfortunately we didn’t understand.
On the party, the technician acknowledged that they deserved a better chance. So he also said that they don’t want to reach the definition of the twelve steps.
“It was a studied match, locked, of many brands, of few occasions in general. We didn’t want to go to penalties and it happened like this . I have nothing to say about the boys, they gave their all in an event as important as the World Cup.” Gareca warned.
However, he also acknowledged that “We were able to reach the World Cup. We are working well at the moment. It didn’t happen to us in the game, we weren’t on our game and the rival’s tactical work made it difficult for us. The boys reacted, especially physically in the last shots of extra time. Peru showed their best version. It was physical and football clothes. It was not given to us.”
One of the most important issues after this elimination is the continuity of the trans-Andean in power. Despite this, DT himself has confirmed that now is not the time for this analysis.
“Now is not the time to talk about my continuity. Just manifest the pain we feel. When we are colder, we will talk about it. When we arrive in Lima, it is time to rethink a lot of things, to analyze . I only think about what happened. The game is spinning in my head. Once in Lima we will see what the situation is,” said the former America de Cali striker.
