Claudio Giráldez: Reflections after a defeat that hurts

The team's coach reflects on the match and the lack of effectiveness against CA Osasuna

Claudio Giráldez, the team's coach, was frustrated but analytical after the recent defeat in the match against CA Osasuna. Although the final result was adverse, the coach highlighted the general performance of his team, considering them deserving of a better fate in the match. “I understand that Alessio Lisci, their coach, suggests that a draw would have been fairer, since they have achieved victory. However, I have a different perspective,” Giráldez commented after the match.

The coach explained that the match was marked by two defensive errors that resulted in goals from the rival. “There was a play in which we had seven players in our area compared to three from the opposing team, and they still scored on us. That is a situation that we cannot allow. In addition, there was another action where we were at a numerical disadvantage, and that also ended in a goal for them,” he lamented. Despite these setbacks, Giráldez defended the good attitude and effort shown by his players during the game.

Giráldez also pointed out the need to improve in the offensive phase. “It has left me with a feeling of disappointment that we have not been able to achieve more opportunities. Throughout the game, we created several clear situations to score, but we lacked that last push to finish the plays effectively,” he said. This points to a lack of resolution that has affected the whole at crucial moments.

Furthermore, the strategist praised his team's defensive work, pointing out that, with the exception of the two goals conceded, they managed to minimize the rival's dangerous actions. “I think we had very good moments of play, especially in the first half hour, although the second half was not as satisfactory,” added Giráldez. Confidence in the improvement process seems to be key for him, who continues to bet on the team's growth.

In terms of strategy, the coach expressed his desire for the team to be more daring in the attacking zone. “Today the grass was fast and the conditions were favorable to create more chances. We must work on being more decisive and looking for a shot on goal more frequently,” he emphasized. This self-criticism not only reflects a constant search for improvement, but also a proactive mentality that could benefit the team in future matches.

As the team moves forward, Giráldez remains steadfast in his focus. “Despite the difficulties, we must continue working with the same intensity that we have shown today. Improvement is a continuous process and we are on the right path,” concluded the coach, hinting at his optimism for the coming days.
