The Argentinian coach acknowledged the superiority of the players from São Paulo, even if he specified that “they shot us four times on goal”. However, he assured that “we had some unfortunate games and went into the break feeling overwhelmed and it was very easy for them to score”. He also insisted that “our priority is the national tournament and the Chilean Cup”.
Ariel Holan had a clear self-criticism after heavy defeat against Sao Paulo . He was quick to point out the power of the Brazilian team, but also acknowledged that they had made many mistakes.
“The first feeling is that We played with a very tough team. Very solid. We started the first half with a penalty, when we had the clearest situation. So It was difficult for us to get into the rival peloton. We had some unlucky plays and went into the break feeling we were outmatched and it was very easy for them to score. However, they fired four times and scored four goals for us,” León’s former coach began by saying.
On the conclusions of the game, the TD confirmed that “I leave with a lot of things to correct; We will be a competitive team, but we are running out of time. We need time for that, not at the local level where we have a great squad. But we will work hard to catch up with those schools that have another level. as I said our priority is the national tournament and the Chilean Cup”.
And he dove into the loopholes the cross table had: “I think the biggest problem defensively was when we built the game, we didn’t defend well on the counter-attack and we couldn’t adjust on set pieces.”
Although all was not so bad for the Trans-Andean DT, he explained that “what I save the most about the team, in such a strange game, is that we maintained emotional stability. If we reached the third able, we would do the miracle. It got out of shape after Sao Paulo lost players and we were close to making a historic comeback.”
On the return duel assured that “Our goal is to play the best game possible and see what happens. We will try to play better, that’s the fundamental.
The mea culpa of the Huaso
The second goal of the Habs was a clear error of MAURITIUS ISLAND , who recognized him during the press conference: “We are up against a very tough team. It is clear that we are responsible for some mistakes we have made, including mine, and this cannot be blamed on the rival”.
However, the technician Holan sort of exonerated him in Huaso saying that “Isla’s move, conceptually, wasn’t a mistake. He slipped on the playing field. The game made sense, I could get out playing” .
