The aurinegros helmsman was clear about what to expect in this duel against the meringues, as he looked at him with a thermometer to assess the work of his players.
“They lose against a team that takes advantage of two situations where they always do it. I always said that this match was the thermometer to look for better things for the team and so it will be. The club tried and we are calm, l “The team will give more. This is the second game we have just played,” said “El Potro”.
From the point of view of the Machine Technician, his assessment after the match against the two-time champion is that his eleventh is not at one hundred percent and needs to improve. “Just as we saw the team, I think we are above the 80% we aim for. We will look to have more volume in the midfield, we have selected U-23s and we are going to play with the players we have. “We can’t be complacent, we made good fixed tactical plays like the goal and 70% of the team ended up under that frame.”
On the arbitration claims he said: “At the end of the claims they are part of the show, they are situations because my assistant got angry, it is part of the show and the referees understand these circumstances when they make these assessments and it is “It’s a shame we didn’t validate that goal. I’m left with the team having to improve as we did in the first 10 minutes. We have to keep working to improve and not think about the referees.”
And as for the variants he had to make in the match. “Back I came from an injury in this same area already hit and we decided not to risk, I made the changes looking for an improvement. I think we got an improvement, but now people have to get used to seeing these young people because in this measure will be the work.We need to have improvements with Jhow on the defensive and in the position we were looking for.The changes were due to injury and the other is everyday bread.In this part I see that the team generated a pair of plays “.
Gutiérrez also stressed that: “We knew what Olimpia could present us in a direct game, it manages the times of the match and we had to get it out of this area and at times we got it. There are many things to rescue and facing the champion has these conditions, it would not exist.These types of matches are classics that are played like this, sometimes football, another rough.Real Spain must improve to give competition to what comes “.
At the time he was asked about the criticism that may come from the Aztec press for his debut in the Honduran league with defeat to Olimpia was sincere. “I think they are football situations. In Mexico they are demanding and that’s good, just like in Honduras, all this is appreciated. I thought the press is an integral part of sport like football. There will surely be good and bad reviews , but I am guided by these phrases of philosophers: when you win you are the best and when you lose you are not the worst.This is not the Real Spain that I hope to deliver at the end of the tournament, this is starting, it is my seal of all life “.
And he closed by taking stock of what he can expect from his reinforcements. “Roses certainly has to make decisions and I wanted to see how Tornat and Mario developed together and that’s why Roses came in. We will have Ramiro Rocca in the next game and it will depend on the working time, but we will have him. considered in front of Platense. Roses had one and put it in but it was canceled, but that has to improve. “
