Pepa, Vitória de Guimarães coach, was extremely dissatisfied with the team’s defeat and performance after the game with Belenenses SAD, in Jamor.
“I have a very negative balance [do jogo]. We were little objective from the first half. We had a lot of loose balls in the center aisle and that’s how we conceded the goal. We got along and when that’s the case, it’s complicated. We went on a constant roller coaster», summarized the coach, alluding to the contrast with the display and triumph, on the last round, over rival SC Braga.
Asked to find reasons for the aforementioned roller coaster of performances and results, Pepa declared: “It is difficult to explain. We’ve been in this fight, trying to give consistency to the team, for a long time. At home we have been very strong and then outside we have not been equal to ourselves. In this game there was no lack of attitude, but we lacked discernment, there were moves that are not allowed, in which we have to be much more practical.”
The Victorian coach also left a hint to the referee of the match: «After a certain point, there was no game, it was played more with the heart than with the head and I understand, seriously I understand, who held on to the result with everything he had, but then it’s up to the referee to manage that situation and we have to be much better.”
