Carcedo: “We knew this was going to come at some point”

With a serious gesture. This is how Juan Carlos Carcedo, coach of UD Ibiza, appeared in the press room after his team's first defeat against Eibar. The islanders fell 3-1 after taking the lead. Despite the setback, the Riojan coach said he was “very proud” of the work of his players because they had “given a very good size.” “The team knew this was going to come at some point. For us, the later it would have been, the better. What we have to do is keep on our way. When we have been unbeaten we have not believed ourselves more than anyone, and now we are going to continue in the same line ”, added Carcedo.

“I think we played a very good game. Equally one of the best first times we have played. But hey, it's football. With 0-1 I think we had the game quite controlled, with several occasions to make it 2-0. You don't and football is effectiveness. Eibar is a great team, ”said the Ibiza coach, who also acknowledged that 1-1 did them a lot of damage. He did not comment on whether Rubén had been fouled by the striker in that equalizer and stressed that the 2-1 came from a play that was “avoidable.”
