The Almería coach, Rubi, remarked after falling by a resounding 3-0 in Montilivi in the first leg of the semifinals of the promotion to First Division playoffs that if Girona could score three goals this Wednesday, his team can also do them on Saturday , in the second leg.
“It is normal for the fans to be angry and discouraged by the result. But the team is going to fight to reach the break with a goal and to score three goals,” added Rubi before admitting that “it has become very difficult. We will have to forget what happened, pull heroic and go for it all “.
In addition, the Almería coach insisted that he did not want to “talk about shame.” “The team was very animated before playing the game and when they realized it they were already losing by 2 to 0,” he admitted.
In this sense, after pointing out “the merit of the rival's great game”, he also regretted that “the castle collapsed very soon”, the “lack of defensive force in simple plays” and that “the team concedes goals with very little.”
“The weaknesses have come to light. The defensive system has been dismantled and the team has paid dearly,” said Rubi, concluding that “now we have to recover emotionally in two days.”
