Sergio: We are proud of the team

The Cadista coach spoke to the club's media after the match against Atlético de Madrid. "You leave sad, annoyed because the team played a great game and with that 0-2 scoreline it makes you very angry. The reality is that in the first ten minutes they had two situations where they could have gone ahead. It wasn't the case and we were able to take the lead, although it's true that the goal 40 seconds into the second half hurt us a lot".

Proud of the team's performance. "We are proud of the team and the game. We can leave with our heads held high. We didn't take the spoils, but we'll definitely grow as a team because of this game".

The adjustments at the start of the game. "I think that Atleti's attacking strength at home is brutal. So, the important thing is to stay close and the lower you are, the less space they have to get behind you. Nahuel couldn't until the goal, Llorente too, so we prevented him from taking those diagonals and breaks from the second line. We covered all that well, except for the third goal. The level of the team was good, we competed well, in the first ten minutes they hurt us because of the change in the new structure and when we changed to 5-4-1 we were much more stable. The team suffered what they have to suffer on a pitch like this, but we could have done a bit more with some of the goals that cost us the game".

The fixture load on the calendar. "We're privileged to play from Sunday to Sunday, we're delighted to compete, to be able to do so, and they're the ones who can say more about this, who play every three days because they're in the Champions League".

The change of Fali. "Fali has been a loss. He's a leader and it's a change that we didn't foresee. He felt some discomfort in his rectum and before breaking it we decided to make the change. The lump is not from today, it's from a long time ago, it comes from old injuries and has nothing to do with it".
