Leandro Paredes made some statements to the microphones of Sky at the end of the match against AZ Alkmaar. These are his words:
With this defeat you can’t reach the top 8. why this step backwards?
“We knew it and we’re sorry, we have to play in the playoffs. We need to improve away from home, the goals we score at home we must also score away.”
On the road you concede too many goals on the restart.
“It’s an aspect that we need to improve, unfortunately that’s how it went and as mentioned we need to improve.”
Strong disappointment?
“Yes, as you said, it’s disappointing because we were coming off good matches away from home too. Coming here and putting on this performance is very disappointing.”
The difficulties in the first half? when will we find out your future?
“We struggled to find spaces in the first half. With Matias’s entry we created a little more but it wasn’t enough. I really don’t know about the future. I live my career day by day, we’ll see what happens” .
Paredes to the club’s official channels
“Doing this performance hurts, because we were coming off very, very good performances, but we need to continue, we need to think about improving the things we don’t do well, because the problem of restarts is a flaw and we need to improve it.”
What happens in these championship matches? There seems to be another way to experience the race, is it coincidence?
“No, it’s not coincidence. We need to improve, we need to think about what we’re not doing well and fix it, because this isn’t good, this isn’t how we move forward.”
There’s a match right away, we need to recover perhaps more with our heads.
“Yes, yes, physically too. We have a very, very close match, so starting tomorrow we’ll think about the next one.”
