Racing’s technical director assured that his team deserved to qualify in the Copa Libertadores series against Boca, where he ended up being eliminated on penalties.
The coach of racing, Fernando Gagoassured last night that the set of avellaneda was “clearly” dominator of the match against Mouth despite the defeat on penalties that left him out of the Libertadores Cup.
“I think the game was very good for us. We had the game we wanted to play, especially in the first half when we had the game under control and we generated the situations. We lacked the last pass or one more time for the definition. In the second half they changed the scheme, there was more back and forth, but we clearly dominated the game. Unfortunately we couldn’t avoid the penalties and we had to lose”expressed gago.
In this sense, he insisted in a press conference: “The team went to look for the classification, we dominated the game and we played it the way we wanted to play it, but we were left out.”
“We lacked scoring a goal or winning on penalties, nothing more. We’re growing, it’s a matter of believing and continuing to insist on what we want to do”continued the ‘Academy’ coach, after the 0-0 draw in regulation time and after losing 4-1 on penalties against ‘Xeneize’.
Consulted by the owner of the questioned Maximilian Romero in the front, gago explained and banked him: “He does a splendid job for the team. The fan wants the nine to score goals and that’s clear, but there are a lot of points that lead you to put a player or not. I trust him as in all the boys who are on the team and I’m going to defend them to the death. I’m never going to change that”.
