Despite showing a good response in the second period, the whole team could not resist to face the game at home. After the game, technician Ricardo Ferretti emphasized the effort of the students as they came close to a draw.
"The second one yes (I liked it) the Tigers were much better than us in the first half; the second time, we were able to balance that with pride and more dedication to make it decent. It was a big difference, in the second one we didn't notice too much, we reacted differently than every game and we'll see how the players react. If there is anything that can be salvaged from this loss, it's the second time the players have done it," he commented.
The Bravos were booed by the stands at halftime for their poor performance, which prompted them to improve in the second quarter:
"I told them it was a wake-up call after we were booed so strongly, not just by the coach. I talked to them, they did a great job, we played against a great team with great individual and collective qualities, we know what they are capable of and he is a candidate for the title. We are opponents seeking to exit the tournament. He said, "Our goal is to avoid the problem of slipping."
Of all of Bravo's problems, injuries are one of the most serious that Tuukka has to deal with on a daily basis:
"Since I've been here, the injury problem has been so bad that we couldn't regroup; offensively, I've had to make a lot of changes and it's affected us. We've been unlucky in that respect, today we only got a tip, hopefully next week we'll get back players like (Castillo), Dario (Dario) Lezcano (Diego)." He concluded by saying that he hopes "Toro" (Gabriel Fernandez) will be back soon.
