Marcelino: “Today I am very disappointed”

Marcelino was very upset at the end of the match played in Son Moix. His team has lost 3-2 after a disastrous first half. “Today we did nothing to win. The result is fair, the rival deserved to win. Today I am not sad, I am very disappointed with our team. To win you have to do many more merits, compete and play more football. We had errors behind, but we only had one arrival in the area, zero shots between the three posts and we had no football. The rival was in a complicated situation and they have found a team that is nothing like what they had been showing in 2022″, said the Spaniard in the Son Moix press room.

The coach expected his team to react. “We had had good reactions in Vallecas and against Espanyol at home, but not today. The team has been irregular. We had an opportunity like never before to get up there but we have thrown it overboard, we have nothing to gain”, he reiterated.

The one from Careñes analyzed the game: “Football is attacking and defending, the first ten minutes we had the ball and we were unable to step on the rival area. We dedicated ourselves to passing the ball from one side to the other until the fateful play of the goal came. We were not in the field, the rival surpassed us. When we equalized we went up, but we just made a good combination move. That’s how complicated it is.”

Nuñez He was one of the rojiblancos singled out because he unluckily intervened in the first two goals scored by the vermilion. The central defender was substituted at the break. “Here we win and we all lose, I am the most responsible. He could have changed five or eight players if the regulations allow it. The coach is supposed to have to convince the players of him. The first part was painful and that way you have the match you deserve”, he pointed out.

“Today we had the worst first half of the season by far, the same or worse than against Cádiz. They have been the two weakest games. I don’t understand what happened today, you can understand losing, but I don’t understand losing in this way in a team that came with the wind in favor and we left this image in the first 45 minutes. I am ultimately responsible,” he added.

Finally, he did not want to hide behind the accumulation of games or the mental load. “Mentally saturated is the one who does not make it to the end of the month to bring bread home. Saturated with what? We want to play a game every four days, so what will those who play in Europe say? It is true that we have had many demanding games, but for this we have had four days. There are no excuses. That is looking for excuses, it is what can lead us not to take a step forward when we have to. Today we were optimistic, you can win or lose, but this way we cannot lose. If we had tied at two I would also be disappointed. I don’t like to see my team play like today in the first half”. The coach did not want to put any but to the defeat.
