For Pedro Caixinha, TSM's 1-1 win over the Tigers should not have been dramatized.The Laguneros won the match, and in the final minutes, they let the victory slip away, which caused consternation among the fans in attendance and on social media.
"That's part of it, we don't have to get too carried away with that, we have to value the work and the process that the team shows on the pitch. I don't think we knew how to utilize the space between the lines in the first instance and then attack the space in the backfield. I think the team tried to follow the coach's instructions too much. It's part of the game and he didn't give up on the game and enjoy it."
Overall, the technician said he was satisfied with the 90-minute performance, denying that the players had a hard time adapting to their game philosophy.
It's a rank-and-file team with world-class coaches and players.
"Let's take it one game at a time, this was the first one and we are proud of our team and the work they did and we don't have to focus on the upcoming Sunday. In the second game, we tried to correct that and we got into a good position, which was our best performance in the first 10 or 15 minutes of the game, even after the game was over. We had a very good reaction in terms of how we responded after scoring a goal against a very important team like the Tigers, a top team with a great coach and world-class players," he added.
In closing, Caixinha re-emphasized that the morale of the technicians is positive because what their players are demonstrating is in line with the goals of the semester.
It would be utopian for me to say that we already have a 100% game idea.
"The most important thing is that the players are confident and they were confident from day one. If I say we have a 100 percent game concept in three weeks, after a long and successful program like we've had before, we're going to take it one step at a time, but if you're telling me you're happy with the head coach I'm telling you it's a ways down the road, and we're happy, and we've got a lot of work to do."
