“We are facing a rival with a lot of hierarchy, with a great difference in squad. We are a new team. We would all like to see the second half, but also the rival takes advantage and defends well. In the first time they had not generated anything for us either. The team was doing well, “he explained at a telematic press conference from the stadium Metropolitan Wanda at the end of the crash.
“It was a fairly even first half. In the second, the play of the penalty is doubtful. At least what I talked about with the player, which is a split play, the player approaches, wants to shrink his leg and there is a normal crash. The referee decided to charge a penalty and there he changed the course of the game ”, the coach valued.
“The arbitration decision changes the process of the game. We were much better ourselves, we had the initiative, we advanced quite positionally and it gives the feeling that something else could be generated. With the penalty it is much more uphill ”, added Almirón, who highlighted the performance of his team, beyond the defeat.
“The team always tried to play. We lacked that last touch to better finish the plays. In general, I think the team played a good game. The team is progressing, shows firm steps and I understand that today's rival has a great hierarchy. The team played very well, ”he continued.

Felix or something like that, that is accompanied a little more Boyé?, the technician ironically. “By putting one more striker there is more area presence but you unprotect areas in which they are very strong,” he added.
“Play a match as equals against him Atlético de Madrid At this stage, having this mentality is good, but I have to think about the other situations; not to speculate, but to understand how we have to play the game, “he said.
