One of them was midfielder Luis Garrido, who at a press conference expressed the feeling that this type of result provokes in football.
“It’s a bit sad for what happened, but that’s the way football is, we regret what happened and we have to turn the page, try to improve every day. You have to raise your head, this doesn’t end here and you have to go to the local tournament and he’s doing things better. We have a good team. “
And he was aware that: “No player expects to score five goals, but you have to stand up and take responsibility. We are a team that is trying its best and we regret what happened on this wonderful night. This is football and always gives you revenge, now we have it in the local tournament, where we know it will not be easy. “
The idea of the tracking team and the coach himself, Héctor Vargas, after a draw at home, the illusion of taking a shot for qualification was the goal.
“Everything can be done in football, it was equal there and we came with the illusion that we could take the classification home, but it couldn’t be done. The teacher is very positive and tells us that, but things didn’t happen.”
He added: “Sad because things didn’t happen, but we have to keep giving everything we can for everything to come, we know it’s not easy and we’re aware of what happened this afternoon in Portland.” .
From Garrido’s point of view, the lack of effectiveness marked somewhat the course of the match. “In the first half we had two or three clear options, we didn’t specify them and we know the potential of the Portland team, we saw it in the videos, a team that likes to play football very well, it rises very well. Well, even with leading players such as Valeri and Shará among others. We stopped doing things and came to regret on the ground, maybe we sinned a little as innocently. This is not the time to talk about mistakes, what happened happened. “
