He also expressed sympathy for Valencia and other parts of Spain affected by the storm and who “lost their families, lost their cars, part of their lives.”
“We were doing well, the 1-0 was a bit strange, a bad clearance from goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, and then, trying to equalize and making some moves, we had a few chances, and in the end we were a little disorganized and they scored 2-0,” he added.
He also stressed that in Toluca they hope to “reverse this situation” and admitted that he was upset by the result against Honduras.
“I am upset by the result because I believe that my players did not deserve to come away with a two-nil defeat. I really believe that (…) we were not clinical, as we should have been ,” he concluded.
