On Tottenham’s winning goal, which briefly reduced their team to 10 men after Bergvall’s challenge on Kostas Tsimikas…
It was a good goal, to be clear. A ball behind, a cross cut, Bergvall scoring, remained very calm, finished the match, but I don’t think that interests you. I think you’re interested in the moment before. When I just walked in I think I saw Ange sitting here on Sunday something happened and I think Spurs weren’t happy with the few decisions they made on Sunday and a lot of people still say it will end up being the end of the season
.
I’m not one of those who believe in it because sometimes you can be unlucky in one season or lucky in one season. On Sunday a decision went against them, maybe today a decision was made in their favor, which is obviously not lucky for us because I never thought we were going to lose this match . Especially not after the first 15-20 minutes, because I thought Spurs started the game better than us. But after that, in my opinion, we had most of the control of the game, we played most of the game in their half, we had a lot more possession and then in a moment like that -here, if you go down to 10 for a few seconds against a team that can play good football, like Tottenham can, it’s far from ideal
.
-As for whether Bergvall should have received a second yellow card for the tackle…
I don’t think there is any debate about this. They say he didn’t stop the counterattack. I think every manager would prefer the tackle to be made now 40 yards from our goalkeeper — I don’t think you really stop a counter-attack then — every manager would rather receive a second yellow card for the other team instead than ending this counter-attack with one less player to play this counter-attack with. If this isn’t a discussion, the next discussion will be about whether it was reckless enough, [alors] just give the advantage, then come back and say, “Yeah, I thought the tackle was too reckless again.” So they still have to give a yellow.
In the VAR decision he had to inform everyone of his decision and unfortunately he didn’t have to do that with this decision. Things are happening. It’s very unlucky for us. The good thing for us is that if you’re going to lose a match, it’s better to lose one while there’s still a return match to play. [C’est] far from an ideal starting position for us as they have a very good team. Some players will probably return for the second leg. Losing here is far from ideal, but if I ever have to lose, I’d rather lose if there’s still one stage left to play. Then there would have been just this game.
