Pepa acknowledged that conceding five goals from Benfica is heavy, stressing, however, that the team entered the game very well.
«Heavy result, yes, even with Jordi [guarda-redes] making a good performance, I’m not going to hold on to the expulsion, we could have done more. We had a strong, personalized entry, we were fine, but there are mistakes that we can’t make, it’s the second game in a row with our mistakes. It is not a matter of postponing, but three goals in 10 minutes weighed heavily. It is fatigue and immense wear and tear. We really wanted to discuss this game. If with 11 against 11 it was difficult it became impossible », he summed up.
The coach of Paços commented on the fact that he did not change his strategy even with one less player. «I don’t want to die with ideas, I want to live with them. We will not give up so many months of work, but we were unhappy and penalized. In the cold, even after the expulsion, we were fine, controlling space, but after the goals… the game was difficult. »
