Diogo Dalot and what went wrong against Georgia: “It was failing to do what we had prepared for the game”

“It was stopping doing what we worked on, practicing our concepts and what we had prepared for the game. The goal destabilized a little that calmness of doing what we prepared, we always tried to get to the last third quickly without making any big decisions. Then, the beginning of the second half ends up shaking the team again. Overall, we didn’t do what we worked for and it leaves a bitter taste precisely because of that.”

GEORGIA’S DEFENSIVE POSTURE AND LOW BLOCK

“We knew they were going to do exactly that, they are comfortable back there and looking for transition, we knew if we didn’t have the defensive balance right we would suffer counterattacks and run meters unnecessarily. The first goal is like this. Then we suffered some moves that we could have avoided and we should have been much calmer when deciding up front, more passes, tiring them out a little more with the ball. We didn’t, but we want to learn from this and take it to the next game.”

WILL TRUST BE AFFECTED?

“No, we are calm, this game was important to win, we really wanted to win, but it was an opportunity for several players to show that they are here. Regardless of everything, we worked well and now we have an important game to prepare for.”
