‘We’re not this team’: Tarragona’s harsh verdict after Unión loss | OneFootball

In the post-match media scrum, the Tatengue player acknowledged the loss of the team’s collective play, expressed concern over the lack of shots on goal, 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 listen to the press conference, but from what you’re telling me, I agree. I agree that we have to improve.”

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

“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 THE TEAM’S COLLECTIVE PLAY “No, I agree because I don’t identify with it 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 an annoying team to play against, 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 things and improve on these issues.” 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’re a team that hurts opponents when it attacks, that hurts them when we put together two or three passes.”

“Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to do that. I don’t know if it’s because we got drawn into their game, and nothing was created. 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 GOAL “Yes, well, that’s something we have to improve too. That’s what we were just talking about with Chelo: we haven’t taken a shot on goal 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’re a different kind of team. I mean, we are nothing like what we showed today. We are a team that plays good football, that, as I just said, hurts opponents when it attacks. So we have to get back to being that tough, combative team we’ve always shown ourselves to be.”
