He immediately made an analysis of the meeting: “The players responded well. We should have won the match. I think we lacked a bit of luck today. Their goalkeeper was their star player and we had several mistakes. This team has more to give, it will show it in what is coming.”
Escudero also highlighted the team’s work on the pitch after the shock of Demichelis’ departure and the days leading up to the match: “We tried to improve the players’ morale. We didn’t want to change much from what we had been seeing.”
Finally, Escudero referred to the return of Marcelo Gallardo and his current situation in the institution: “Gallardo was one of those who, along with Enzo and Hernán Díaz, called me to take charge of the youth teams in 2019. I am very grateful to him.”
