Cervera: “We lacked effectiveness to be able to beat Valladolid”

The coach of the Cadiz, Alvaro Cervera, has admitted at the end of the match in which they tied 0-0 on Tuesday against Valladolid at the Carranza stadium that they lacked “effectiveness” to win.

Recalling the start of the league competition, Cervera stated at a press conference that “before we arrived and scored and now we are not that lucky. With a little bit of effectiveness we could have won, but they with the crossbar in the first minute would have made things very difficult for us ”.

The technician of Cadiz stressed the importance of leaving a clean sheet. “We need, more than effectiveness, a little bit more speed on some play we make, but otherwise, it's fine,” he said.

He explained that “if you do not achieve superiority in the center of the field, the wingers disappear because they do not receive proper balls, they suffer a lot, that is why we have played with midfielders” in some sections of the game.

The coach of the Cadiz team highlighted the improvement after the restart in the theft of the ball to the contrary. “In the first half, we did not steal because when they served we did not want to jump with the centrals, we wanted to jump with the midfields and we lost people in the midfield. In the second, we have jumped with the center-backs, we have stolen a little more, knowing that in First they do not steal as much as in Second because fewer balls are lost, but we have already been more at the level we want ”.

Asked Cervera for the four-game sanction that was imposed a few weeks ago for some demonstrations discussing an arbitration action and for his opinion on recent statements by the coach of the Barcelona, Ronald Koeman: “I'm not aware of these things because I can't handle it. I do not know what he said Koeman, I know what I said and it seems very bad ”to have been sanctioned.
