We know the path and won't stop chasing our fans' dream - Gabriel Milito | OneFootball

The only way to improve is to work, take responsibility for the fact that we were not up to the level of the expectations we created, and keep moving forward. We will keep pushing to improve our play and work on our finishing and efficiency. Keep insisting, keep working hard, improving the things we have to improve. We need to help the guys who came in much more so that when it is their turn to finish the game, they can give us the response we expect. When that does not happen, the coach has a lot, a lot to do with it.” We did not imagine that after two matches we would have this result. We are deeply saddened. There were high expectations for this team, and we did not achieve what we were looking for. The fans are always loyal to the team, to the badge; wherever we go, we feel at home. And there is also a lot of sadness for them because they surely wanted and hoped, just like we did, to at least reach the third match with a chance.” Not being able to give some joy to the fans who came to support us causes a lot of pain and sadness, not only because we are out, but because we created a lot of hope. I must take responsibility for this result.” Football alone is not enough; in the end, it is about scoring goals, and there are phases of the game that at times we do well, but in this tournament we have been wasteful in front of goal. We create chances, but we cannot score, and being clinical is important. It is not only about playing well, you have to score goals.”
