Juanma Barrero: “In the first half, I saw the team I wanted”

The head coach of CD Atlético Baleares, Juanma Barrero, has analyzed the defeat at the Estadio Balear against Real Murcia (0-1) on the seventh matchday of the Primera RFEF League (Group II). ATB tried until the end after a great first half but lacked accuracy in front of the opponent’s goal.

About the match

“I believe we had a good first half, putting pressure on the opponent in those early minutes. Nonetheless, we also performed well. That’s the path. We created several chances to score.”

“After the break, when we went through the locker room, we had a tremendous drop in performance. We missed a lot of opportunities, and they positioned themselves better.”

“It wasn’t a matter of morale. It was physical. People wanted to continue in the locker room. You could sense the spirit, but physically, it was very demanding.”

“What matters is accuracy, and that cannot be controlled. We will work on it.”

About the fans

“I was eager to celebrate a victory with the fans. I hope they liked the first half because that’s what we will work on, and that’s what we want this team to be. I will apologize because, in the end, accumulating points is what matters, and we didn’t achieve that.”
