Tigres became champion of the Concacaf Champions League and ended the dream of LAFC, after defeating them 2-1 in the final on Tuesday and after the match, the Algerian team coach, Bob Bradley, regretted having fallen in the duel played at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, although he assured that his team played an “almost perfect” match.
After falling in the grand final on Tuesday, the California team’s strategist said he was disappointed to lose in the last minutes, but he congratulated his team for their performance in the grand final against the Mexican team.
“It is difficult to think immediately after defeat. We are really very disappointed. I think for 70 minutes we made the game very difficult for them, for 70 minutes what we did was pretty good. Our team is growing, we play really good football in some of these games, I think our way of looking for the game tonight was really good, “said Bradley.
Ends with debate between Liga MX and MLS
Despite having eliminated three Mexican teams in the previous rounds of this Concacaf Champions League, LAFC joined the list of MLS teams that have lost to a Mexican one and after being questioned about the gap between the two leagues, the coach preferred not to enter into controversy and preferred to take the defeat as a lesson.
“Anyone who has seen us at this tournament will be able to rate what our football is about and how we are as a club. How we compete. We try to keep growing. We have to take this as a lesson and grow from here on. Those are the things I focus on. I have no idea how others evaluate us, ”he said.
Your opinion on arbitration
The arbitration by Mario Escobar was criticized by the LAFC coach, because in addition to the alleged criminal that he did not indicate about Latif Blessing, Carlos Vela was the victim of constant fouls, for which Bradley spoke about the performance of the Guatemalan whistler.
“Carlos was beaten many times today Even when we were 0-0. He received several strong fouls, some were very strong, I would think that that should result in a yellow card, “said the coach who played his first final at the LAFC, after 3 seasons.
