Valencia coach Javi Gracia, affirmed, after the defeat by 2-1 in La Cerámica against the Villarreal, that his team “went to more” during the game, but pointed out that “that was not enough.”
Alluded to penalty awarded at the beginning of the match and the facilities given in some phases of the clash, which deprived them of adding despite the fact that the team adjusted little by little in attack and defense.
The Valencia coach insisted that if there are advantages then it is difficult to carry out the games and the effort to win must be much greater.
“His second goal came when we were controlling the match in the second half and we had options to get the game out. Has hurt us a lot because we had adjusted the game and we felt more comfortable, “he said.
According to the Kang In Lee's absence, stated that in the first substitution he opted for Cheryshev in attack and to keep Maxi Gómez as center forward and that later he tried to make the team more offensive with the entry of Jason by Thierry on the right wing.
“We have taken risks with the entry of offensive players because we believed that they were necessary for a match like today,” he explained.
During the meeting there were many slips of footballers and in this regard he said that he did not know the studs they had used, but that at half time he stressed the importance of having a good grip.
“The warm-up also serves to test these things and that they do not happen to us often. In any case, it is not an excuse for the result. It is something that we have to adjust better,” he concluded.
