The draw at the last minute against communications left a bitter taste in former GFC and his coach, Mauricio Tapiahe made it clear in his statements after the party. The Argentine coach recognized the effort of his team, but also admitted that the lack of forcefulness cost them two points that seemed insured.
“We are not happy, I think we did many things well to win the game. It has been the game in which we have arrived the most, but we were not accurate, and did not reach. Communications, with very little, it was accurate. When the games end like this, it is understandable about the people who shout ‘outside Tapia’, that war is lost”said the strategist, referring to the constant claims of the colonial fans, which has requested his departure several times.
Ancient dominated the meeting and generated multiple opportunities, but the lack of effectiveness gave them an invoice. Tapia insisted that his greatest concern is when the team fails to generate offensive game, but in this case, they believe they did enough to win.
“We always want to accompany the development with results. Today we bet well from the beginning, we generated many clear situations. We had between 7 or hand in hand in front of Fredy Pérez and it is angry to finish like this. We know that these games must be liquidated yes or yes, but there will always be a possibility that these great teams do this”,
The coach also pointed out that his team was “Very permissive with the rival”which ended up costing expensive in the final minutes. Despite his discomfort with the result, he made it clear that it is not for the development of the game, because he considers that his team was superior for most of the game.
Looking ahead to the final stretch of the tournament, Tapia already thinks about ensuring a better position in the Table for the playoffs. “Now the round of looking for the position in the table begins. Always try to close the key at home, all the teams of this tournament have been very difficult”he said.
Another issue that has generated debate in the antique fans is the little participation of the Brazilian Romario da Silvawho has been relegated to a secondary role in the team. About this, Tapia was clear:
“I consider that there are players who have the best level at this time than Romario. I am the one who works every day with them, I did not come to let Romario play. I like that player very much, but I will always make the decisions I will make them for the good of the team,”,
Despite the good game shown, the draw at the last minute left many doubts and increased pressure on Mauricio Tapia. With the fans asking for their departure and the team without ensuring their classification, the next days will be key to defining the future of the Argentine coach on the ancient bench.
