Carvalhal: “Our advantage at half-time was slim”

The Portuguese Carlos Carvalhal, coach of Celta de Vigo, He regrets the chances his team wasted in the first half because that, in his opinion, gave life to Seville in the second part.

“I’m leaving unhappy. We had a very good first half, I think going into halftime 1-0 is a bad result for all the chances we had. The second half was different, more dominated them but we also had a chance with Larsen, just in front of the goalkeeper”, the sky-blue coach pointed out at a press conference.

In this sense, he said that he left “with the feeling” that they could add to the victory in the last game of the year, although he accepted the point because “we continue to grow and in the future we will expand even more.”

Carvalhal avoided analyzing the Basque referee’s performance Burgos Bengoetxeawhere Balaídos claimed the penalty through the hand of Rafa Mir and the dismissal of Carmona in the 21st minute for a bold tackle on Cervi, but called on the journalists to review the controversial plays.

“I think there is a lot to analyze. My role is not to study the referee, my role is to prepare my team as much as possible. The role of the journalist is to analyze the work of the teams and the referee, to decide whether it influenced the match. So that you can review the controversial plays, which exist,” he said.

He regretted that his team conceded “a corner goal” because they have improved in that aspect, and he defended the Norwegian. larsen despite the fact that he has never made his debut in LaLiga as a scorer and tonight he missed two clear chances, the second decisive because it happened before Salas’ goal.

“He is still young and has a lot of potential. We really like how he works, his goal is coming. Sometimes the forwards go through periods where they don’t score and then it’s like hotcakes”, he stated.
