In defeat against Eldense (1-3), Eder Sarabia was able to better analyze the team’s game, because he watched the match from a cabin in National after the expulsion suffered the Ferrol. From there he talked John Lopez, assistant coach, who he spoke to before heading to the press conference: “Before the 1-2 score we were not comfortable. We didn’t get along well. The first play of the game was part of what we were missing: I didn’t win the second play and they took a lateral foul. The first part was very good, but it could not have happened if these things had happened in the first minute, which we knew would be decisive,” the first words of a Sarabia more critical than usual.
“In the second half, we thought we were very good and we could easily win the game. And when this happens to you you start to make mistakes. We confuse patience with stopping playing forward like we did. The defensive activity has been bad. We are built to score goals, but this sport has that. If you don’t take advantage of opportunities and lower the level in other aspects, the opponent knows what they are doing and deserves to beat us,” the coach said in a vengeful tone.
Asked if there is some frustration in the locker room, Sarabia wanted to change the concept: “Frustration would have been if we continued like in the first half and lost. I prefer to talk about the concern, that on matchday 14 we still haven’t realized some things. Or that I didn’t deliver it. “Today we took a huge step back,” he said and then lamented the missed opportunities Iker Benito and Scheidler.
Sarabia He asserted that the team is capable of competing against all, as demonstrated by the “submission to Leganes, Sporting, Levante…” but he wanted to highlight an aspect that worries him: “Absolutely the word is a lack of humility. None of us here have demonstrated that we qualify for this category, starting with me, of course. You have to look inside, stop looking outside and don’t make excuses. We really made a mistake today. Whenever this team is told that it does things very well, there is surprise. We have to anticipate things,” he concluded to once again defend the level of some players who do need to “work on their mentality to compete better.”
