Carlos Tevez, coach of Independiente, He took charge of the mistakes his team had in the home defeat against Gymnastics and Fencing La Plata by 1 to 0, which meant the first fall in the Professional League Cup.
“We lost because of our mistake, but I am responsible for the team not being able to show the game that we all want, now we have to think about Thursday and continue growing,” he concluded.
El Apache began by talking about Felipe Aguilar’s mistake that ended up defining the match in favor of Lobo.
“We needed to continue insisting with the game. The teams that close behind us are difficult for us, I think Gimnasia came to that and wait for a mistake that unfortunately we made,” he analyzed in reference to the play of the only goal of the match, after a failed pass by Colombian defender Felipe Aguilar that facilitated the definition of Uruguayan Rodrigo Saravia against goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey.
“Since nOur mistake made the game difficult for us. On our field it is difficult for us to think that we have to play, calm down and score the first goal before the third,” continued the former coach of Rosario Central.
Under his management, Independiente was barely able to win one of the last five matches held at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium.
Furthermore, Tevez took responsibility for the team’s performance and insisted that “It’s better that it happens now” because there is more time “to continue working and turn these games around.”
Finally, the Independiente coach spoke about Javier Ruiz, who was sent off just 5 minutes after coming on from the bench. “The thing about Ruiz is my responsibility. It’s a little unfair to put him in when we’re losing. I’ll talk privately later so he can learn, but it wasn’t the time to put him in,” he concluded.
Finally, he explained: “We need one more center back, but we’ve been going for 3 dates now, I’m not going to complain now.” And he closed by talking about Juan Fedorco’s situation: “he did a physical preseason and not with a ball. See if he put it in and he made the mistake.”
Independiente will visit Huracán at the stadium on Thursday Tomás Adolfo Ducófor the fourth date of the LPF Cup.
