“In the first half of Aursnes and Ivanovich there was little amplitude because these are their characteristics. We tried with Dedic, tried with Daise. In the second half, with the release of these two – despite the fact that Lukebakio was clearly not in the best form, and Andreas Shelderup tried there – we created a lot. We sought much more, we quickly selected the ball, and the ball was selected very well. ”
“We score a goal because we try a lot and create a lot. We score a goal, and then there is a moment when you cannot miss. You cannot miss a goal at this point in the game. We are punished in a transitional moment when … I usually say, “The winning team does not miss goals in a transitional moment”, and we missed and lost 2 points because of it. ”
“The team showed a good attitude, the boys showed a good attitude. I think to win this match as we were going to win, almost at the end of the game, would be an important psychological impulse. Skip the goal this way is the exact opposite but as I told them this match we can no longer win we can win only the next ”
“First, I think the result is extremely unfair. One team wanted to win, the other wanted to play. I believe that the result is unfair, especially given what we did in the second half, but we were punished by the result, which is obviously horrible, against a rival who scored a fantastic goal from a technical point of view, the only blow to the goal. But I have to look at this goal in terms of Benfika coach. And such a goal cannot be missed in the 90th minute, after 45 minutes of good game, good intensity, so many creatures, so many schooners of the ball, so many transitions, huge efforts. Changes in the structure of the team and in the philosophy of the game. We did everything to win. We scored a goal, you cannot miss a goal at the expense 1: 0 in a couple of minutes before the end. You can miss a goal at this point, but it should be a different goal. You cannot miss a goal when the ball is played by a player who, if I’m not mistaken, will be Enzo Barrenechea or Richard Rios, but one of them, and 6 players are in front of the ball line. Leading 1: 0, in the 90th minute, having a player with a ball and another 6-only 7 players-in an attacking position, and having only 3 in defense, it is naive, it is a lack of experience, it is a lack of understanding of the game, because at that moment we had to do what they did in the first half, that is. What we did wrong in the first half, we had to do from the moment we scored the goal. So it hurts. It hurts the result, painful from injustice and hurts how we missed the goal. But, obviously, in the first half we owned the ball, but without much purposefulness. In the second half, especially after changing the structure, with the release of two players, the team began to act differently, became much more purposeful, began to create moments. He scores a goal that, as I said in Flash InterView, if it is today’s football, if the goal is canceled because they came to the finger or pulled a mike, then I do not like today’s football. If it is today’s football, then I do not like today’s football. As a result, the main character of the match was the man who was at Cidade do futebol and called the judge that he could see what we saw, and then the judge showed the absence of a person who is usually inherent in them, and usually they follow what Var says. When I saw that the judge was summoned to Var, I already knew that the goal would be canceled. Regardless of this, we played against a super protective team, which I, of course, do not criticize, I just state the fact. It was difficult to break through, but in the second half we did everything to break through and made it. We are not a team with a great presence in the penalty area, we are not a team that can dominate and hang, hang, hang, because we are not a team with a great presence either physical or characteristics to play in the penalty area. We tried to score in other ways, we succeeded, we scored a good goal, and then, as I said, the result was extremely unfair. But football does not sympathize with this assessment of injustice, the result is the result, we have lost 2 important points. ”
“I think this second time is better than the second half in Vila-Das-Avah. It is much better, much more quality, much more stability. I’m not talking about 45 minutes because the first 10 minutes were not something special, but 35 minutes were really good. 35 minutes were really good, and then the loss of the ball, the restoration of the ball, the loss of the ball, the restoration of the ball, always with high intensity, high volume of attacks. This second half is the best, if you divide my 2 games by 4 halves, for me this fourth half is the best of 4. But this is what is, I consider it naivety. If it is not naivety, it is a lack of experience, a lack of knowledge of the game. We cannot have 6 players in front of the ball player in the 90th minute, winning 1-0, we cannot. Even if the ball gets into this area, we cannot attack the opponent, we cannot attack the opponent to lose the ball, we must return to circulation behind. What we did in the first half and that I was very annoyed is that we were too retreating back, returning the body little and attacking the opponent. What annoyed in the first half was exactly what we did at the moment they didn’t. We returned to this only after 1: 0 came forward. It’s sad, but that’s yes, we have to move on. ”
“I think there was a desire to win today, the desire to do everything is well, the desire to give everything, the desire to be benphy in the sense that” we go to everything, to the limit. ” I think that’s what some physical limitations hid a little. They played 2 days ago, how their work was organized after “non-pre-season” training, I cannot determine, and it is difficult to understand the consequences. Now, with this accumulation of games, from the game every two days, it is obvious that there were players who felt that they were lacking a little freshness. I also did not want to change, I wanted to keep the same team, I wanted to give a certain sequence because we did in the first game, but no matter what, they went to the end. The game did not end when we scored a goal, but I think that perhaps in their heads this goal was victorious, and then, instead of switching the chip and entering the dynamics “now needed to keep”, I do not say protection, but to keep the best positioning, it was a mistake we made in the second half. ”
“This is a modern football that I am not obliged to love. I do not like when such goals are canceled, whether in favor of one or the other team, but you are right, it is modern football, the judge appealed to Var and made a decision. This does not mean that I criticize. Okay, you are right, I also used this saying, it is modern football. Honestly, I don’t think this goal should be canceled. I also don’t think this is Var … a player who may be simultaneously outside the penalty I get a yellow card in the 5th minute of the game? In the context of the game, who deserves another yellow card? The one who simulated, I do not even know if he simulated, but outside the penalty area, or players who are inhibiting the whole game, simulating injuries? Therefore, there are criteria … But honestly, when I lose – and in this case I feel that I lost, a draw for me in this case is a defeat – I do not like to say so, we did not win not because of a judge.
“I do not feel it during the game (note – support for fans), I work during the game and I cannot afford to worry about the feeling. Honestly, I didn’t feel it. “Not to be unanimous” – I was the first to say it, so you don’t have to repeat it, because I was the first to say it. It is very difficult to be consensus, and honestly, I didn’t think I would be, and it obviously does not bother me because I can’t control it. The only thing I can control is how I give up work and how I force those who work with me, including players, always work on the verge of their capabilities. Whether we have potential or not, we will see at the end of the championship. At the moment, if I am not mistaken, we have 4 points less than the “port”, and perhaps 1 point less than in “sports”, or 2, something in this kind, given that we, these three teams, are contenders for the title, with all the respect for “Braga” and Victoria. Title or not, but there is much ahead, a lot of things. ”
“In my opinion, responsible (note – for what happened in the first half) several sides. Responsible “Ave”, and I repeat that it is not a critic, but “Rio Ave” is responsible for the strategy he used, especially at the emotional level, the strategy he used to stop the game, hold the game, stop the game, delay the game. The responsibility lies with the judge, and I told him about it in the break. I do not want to talk about technical solutions, but why does the judge not give a yellow card to the goalkeeper in the 15th minute, in the 20th minute? Why not? Because if that happens, the game will be different. The game would be different, completely different. Judges, like us, are responsible for the quality of games, they must protect football, and protect football-means to combat this kind of strategy that I used to use once and may have ever used again, but judges have such responsibility. And then our responsibility, we ran a lot against a team of 5 people. Playing the five, it is very difficult to make radical changes in the direction of the field center, it is very difficult because they occupy the entire width of the field. We had a little game in the center; We picked up the balls and, instead of picking and directing forward, immediately played back; low speed in the ball, with a fantastic lawn for fast play; few play in the center; The right flank with difficulties in the development of the game, which is my fault, because I decided to play with this team, and Lukbakio was not able to play much more than he played. In the second half, we began to accelerate, expanded the game, brought many players to goal positions, although, again, we are not a team with a great presence in the penalty area, with big players in the penalty area, this is not our profile, but I am very pleased with the second half. If I could make the game end with our goal, I would be very pleased with the second half. ”
