“The penalties turned their back on us this time. I congratulate the players for the great championship they made”Milito said after the game in which Tigre beat Argentinos Juniors 3-1 on penalties, after equalizing 1-1 at the end of the 90-minute regulation.
The DT of “Bicho” added that “it was an even first half and played with the neutralized teams. No team dominated. With the expulsion of Gabriel Florentín we were forced to modify and redouble our efforts, but with their goal we decided to assume more risks.
“With character and personality, we neutralized them better and had more arrivals. Playing a semifinal one hour with one less is not easy, but the team deservedly came to a draw. We ended up playing 3-2-4 and we understood that we had to take risks in that way”Milito added.
The DT also indicated that “it is a shame for the effort we made. I told them that they should be calm because they represented the club in the best way. Despite the difficulties, the team puts up a face. We were brave in both games, against Students, the currency of penalties fell on our side and not today. Football is like that, with joys and sorrows. The team has a present and a future. It is impressive how these boys compete”.
“A result or an elimination is not going to change what I think of my team. It represents me and it deserved to play in the final, with all the respect I have for Tigre, which is a good team. These players come out better mentally than when we started the championship They are boys who play football well and added character and rebelliousness to it. This tournament was a great learning experience”Milito pointed out.
Regarding the definition of the twelve steps, the technical director of the La Paternal team commented that “penalties in training, the goal has its original size but in games and in this context, I can assure you that it is different. We practice penalties and we put them all in. You have to be in front of the ball with people and for a series to play a final. The best have also failed. You can practice but the emotional state is different”.
