“We're not this team”: Tarragona's blunt verdict after Unión lose again | OneFootball

In the post-match media scrum, the Tatengue player acknowledged the loss of collective play, expressed concern over the lack of shots on target, and warned of the urgent need to correct mistakes.

AGREEMENT WITH THE COACHING STAFF’S ANALYSIS “Yes, yes, I think I agree with several of the things that… I didn’t hear the press conference, but from what you’re telling me, I agree. I agree that we have to improve.”

POINTS TO CORRECT AND ATTENTION TO SET PIECES “We had been improving on set pieces, but well, they scored on us again from a second ball after a set play.”

“These are things we have to work on during the week and show in the match, because they can cost you the three points like they did today.”

LACK OF IDENTITY IN COLLECTIVE PLAY “No, I agree because I don’t identify with this either, because this is not who we are as a team. We’ve been showing for several tournaments now that this is not us.”

“We are a bothersome team, a team that plays good football, that hurts opponents when it attacks. And today we showed none of that.”

“As I was just telling your colleague, we have to keep correcting and improve these things.” LOSS OF THE TEAM’S ESSENCE”

“Because we’ve shown it, as I just said, in previous tournaments… that we are much more than this.”

“We know we are a team that hurts opponents when it attacks, that hurts them when it puts together two or three passes.”

“Unfortunately we haven’t been able to do it. I don’t know if it’s because we got dragged into their game, which produced nothing. So, we’re going to have to work on it during the week, and obviously each of us has to be self-critical, so we have to keep working hard.”

CONCERN OVER THE STREAK WITHOUT SHOTS ON TARGET “Yes, well, that also has to improve. That’s what we were just talking about with Chelo: we haven’t had a shot on target in three matches, and it’s not my fault, it’s because the team lacks clarity.

But this has been happening for three matches now. I’m not saying we’ve been doing everything wrong for three matches, because in the last game, in the first half, we were a great team and we lost it because we made mistakes in some areas.”

DEMANDS AND ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT IN THE SQUAD

“So, we have to keep correcting things. We have to keep correcting things, we have a great squad. But if you don’t improve the things that need improving, it’s going to be very difficult.”

“We are a different kind of team. I mean, we are nothing like what we showed todayWe are a team that plays good football, that, as I just said, hurts opponents when it attacks. And well, we have to go back to being that tough, combative team we’ve always shown ourselves to be.”
