“Without this serving as an excuse, which it is not, sometimes it is difficult to maintain the degree of concentration that the two competitions require of us, it requires you to be one hundred percent and today we have not been”, he analyzed after the game. He considered that they let his rival play “from the third quarter”and they also noted the disqualification of Edy Tavares before entering the last period. “The Lugo fans have carried their team on the fly and we still have away games that are important and in which we have to understand how to play”, he warned.
