In his reading of the match, the athletic trainer highlighted the physical superiority of his rival and acknowledged that his team “did not enter the match well.”

“The result will be difficult to forget and will affect the rest of the competitions, since we had a lot of hope for this tournament, but the boys have to learn to manage that frustration, we have to get up and focus on the league,” he said. Torres.

“We are very proud of them, we would not change a single player from this team for any of the finalists, we all lose together, it is our responsibility and we have to assume it, but they have to be very proud of their season”, he concluded.
