Rubén Torrecilla, coach of Hércules, assured in a press conference this Thursday that his team is in good shape after the first defeat of the season, so we must continue to show full confidence in the group and not “go crazy”. “It was a terrible week because we didn’t think we would lose“But the players are already looking forward to Saturday to return to a competitive team,” the Extremaduran coach said. “You have to make very few concessions and win. “The dressing room is aware of this and is looking forward to the match.” Torrecilla assured that his full confidence in the defensive line remains despite the facilities provided in Sant Andreu, where Hércules scored three very similar goals the other day.
“Three cannons hit from behind and We need to improve these details“How do we know how to predict or crash, because many teams will play us that way and these are controllable situations,” Torrecilla explained, explaining that “if they had passed us it would have been something else.” “We conceded very few goals in the first half, the opponent did not leave the field. In this category I counted about ten or twelve approaches to the not easy zone. They didn’t come and the goal in the 5th minute of the second half hurt us. The mental problem came from there, we saw that we could win the match, that it was controlled and the goal hurt us,” he said. “The second goal came very quickly, we got back into the game, but the problem was with the third goal. I can’t say my team didn’t compete because they couldn’t compete, I have full confidence in the defensive line. Because they have shown this since the preseason. We need to improve and keep working, but at least I’m not worried. The coach of the blue and white team said, “Small details can be improved and continue like this because the team is competing at a high level.” «We must be mentally focused and always know what we need to do, correct our mistakes and we will definitely have fewer problems. “There was a bit of a lack of precision and they were more successful,” the coach added.
Aries admitted that Hercules “hurt” because defeat “hurt”It’s something he likes because he sees the “hunger to win” in the group. «On the return journey, I really liked the fact that we didn’t hear a single word in the six hours we spent on the return journey. It looked like a funeral. The team was very hurt because we didn’t expect after the first half that we would come back with this result, so I want them to know what they didn’t achieve,” Torrecilla said optimistically, without making much of a point about Saturday’s match. The defeat occurred in Sant Andreu.
Torrecilla refused to make major changes to the squad as he retained full confidence in the players, warning his next opponent Andratx was “a regular team that lives on counter-attacks and direct play”.
“We will try to wear them down. “You have to play a serious game and make very few concessions,” explained the coach, convinced that whatever the final result Hércules will once again “broadcast” to their fans in Rico Pérez.
Mendes is suspicious
Torrecilla confirmed his suspicions about Marcos Mendes and the absence of Argentinians Agustín Coscia and Nico Espinosa from Saturday’s game: “Mendes is a very important player for us and we hope to have him ready on Saturday. We have to be careful with Nico so that when he comes back he stays and does not relapse again.” ,” reported the Hércules coach, making it clear that Lleida will be one of the contenders for direct promotion at the end of the season.
“Now we have to focus on this Saturday. It’s about gaining, adding and adding cruise speed. The blue-white coach concluded his pre-match press conference as follows: “We will see what we have done to achieve our goal in April.”
