The Argentinian Diego Coca, coach of Real Valladolidthis Sunday he did not hide his concern about the image offered by his team in Ourense, where he was eliminated by the local team, who play in the First Federation, in the round of 32 of King’s Cup.
“We are hurting from the loss, worrying about many things. This match is good for us to draw conclusions, the goal is very difficult and we need everyone,” he highlighted in a press conference.
The Pucelano coach indicated that they took advantage of O Couto’s game to “play players we don’t know and draw conclusions because the best way to evaluate them is by competing.”
“Before coming, I have watched all the games of Real Valladolid and it is not news that the team is not defensively up to par in the First Division. We have worked trying to refresh concepts and the way is to compete, that is why this match was good for us, to draw conclusions,” he stressed.
Cocca accepted the elimination because “it wasn’t enough for us to win despite scoring two goals, we didn’t have the personality to play,” and asked to focus on the challenge of staying in LaLiga.
“The reinforcements that will come will have to do it with the desire to contribute, with personality. We have to make good decisions, be intelligent and put together a team to compete and work hard,” commented the Argentine, who clarified that for close these reinforcements they first have to “take out” some players.
