The defeat of Boca3-0 against Tigre -one of the weakest teams in the Professional Soccer Leaguel (LPF)- at the beginning of Fernando Gago It made a deep impression on the fans. Criticism spreads due to the bad season that the Boca team is having. Eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana, the great objective of the year, they also fell with River in the Superclásico and are now 13 points behind the leader Vélez. However, the new coach takes the drama out of the situation.
“It hurts to lose and even more so this way. They were stopped ball actions in which we made mistakes. At times the team played what I intended. Logically, we have to sustain it over time,” pointed out peaked at a press conference.
“The operation is going to get better. We have five training sessions, which are few. Obviously, they are not excuses at all. I am the one most responsible for everything and I will always be when we lose. When we win, the players are responsible. There are things to correct, but I think the 32, 33 minutes of the second half are what I’m looking for,” he added. Meanwhile, he chose to stay away from the controversies that occurred on the night of Victoria: “I still haven’t seen the goal plays. We cannot stop at whether there are refereeing errors. What I would like is for the games to be played more. I think it would be nice for football itself. I’ve been saying it since the first game I coached. “The continuity of the game and not doing so much time will benefit Argentine football.”
The one who did point against the arbitration was Edinson Cavani and he specifically referred to the hand of Ramón Arias in the play of Tigre’s first goal. “There is always an explanation to give to the footballer and in the end we never fully understand. With what cirteria are hands hands? When is it and when is it not?” said the Uruguayan scorer in the post-match interview. “There is a lot to talk about, but we have to think about ourselves, about working as we have been doing,” he added.
Finally, Gago reaffirmed his position when asked about the situation of Sergio “Chiquito” Romero and Marcos Rojo, two highly questioned references: “It’s game by game. Each one earns their place on the team in training. I told it to the footballers. In this way, internal competition is enhanced.”
