Arturo Ruiz says ‘almost’ is not enough for Albion | OneFootball

Arturo Ruiz says “almost” is not enough as Albion chase a first WSL win at the Amex on Sunday, after a 1-0 home loss to Spurs in the Subway Players Cup at Crawley.

“A little bit disappointed because I think that the girls, the team and the fans deserve more when we perform like this. But, on the other hand, really proud that we are this competitive, that we have this clarity against a really good team and that we were almost there to get something positive. I know it’s not enough.” He was speaking to brightonandhovealbion.com.

Spurs edged the tie despite Albion enjoying long spells, with Olivia Holdt striking on 37 minutes. Holdt also scored at the Amex at the end of last season.

The start has been frustrating, with two points from 12 in the league and three from six in the Players Cup. Performances have offered promise under the new coach, who replaced Dario Vidosic a week before the season.

At the Amex earlier this term, Albion dominated before a late effort direct from a corner earned Aston Villa a 1-1 draw. Their only win so far this term, in the League Cup, was 4-0 against Charlton.

“We have four days until then, three on the training ground, so it’s more than enough to be absolutely ready for Sunday at the Amex in our home and to get three points in the WSL before the international break, and our focus is absolutely there.”
