After the tough elimination in the Libertadores, Coudet showed great dejection at the press conference and regretted the turnaround suffered by Inter
On the night of last Wednesday, 4th, the International received the Fluminense at the Beira-Riofor the second leg of the semifinal of the Conmebol Libertadores Cup. After an intense 90 minutes, the home team even managed to dominate during much of the decision, but in the final minutes, Tricolor pulled off a miraculous comeback and won 2-1.
At 10 minutes of the first stage, Market opened the scoring for Colorado. Very dominated during the rest of the match, Tricolor were unable to equalize and saw the classification slip further and further away with each passing minute. But, miraculously, at 81, John Kennedy tied the match, and at 87, Germán Cano turned to Fluminense.
On the Gaucho side, dejection took over the locker room. In collective, Eduardo Coudet made a strong outburst regarding Colorado’s defeat. The Argentine coach demonstrated that he did not believe in Fluminense’s historic turnaround. For him, Internacional should have killed the game when they created opportunities on the field.
“We closed space so they couldn’t create and tried to score. Then we gave the ball to Fluminense, but we didn’t take any risks. We had at least five clear chances to kill the game. We lowered the lines to leave with space and take advantage of Valencia’s speed. I still can’t believe how we lost this game and that we didn’t kill the game“, said Coudet at a press conference.
Until their goal, we didn’t suffer any situations. Simply a lot of pain and anger due to the disappointment of the fans and ours. They sought me out with the hope of winning the Libertadores. It took a lot to get here. That’s what I can say at the moment“, continued the Internacional coach.
“We made mistakes, but we also did a lot of good things. We could have scored more goals, but I feel that the team went onto the field with a good strategy and we upset the rival. Let’s go to our house and if we win, we pass“, concluded Coudet.
