Igor Oca: “We have to be strong to get through this situation”

C.D. Leganés coach Igor Oca appeared at a press conference after the match between the Pepineros and S.D. Eibar, corresponding to matchday 29 of LALIGA HYPERMOTION, which ended in a 0-1 away victory.

The coach assessed what happened on the pitch as follows:

Assessment of the match: "The atmosphere is tense, we've been carrying a lot of negative feelings for some time now and it's hard for the fans who come to the stadium, which is normal. We have to stay calm in order to make the best decisions. We've managed to create a lot in attack, knowing that we have that complicated offensive efficiency. There have been mistakes, but we've had twenty shots on goal compared to eight. They've had a couple of transition situations because they wanted to go forward, but we conceded from a set piece and ended up losing. We have to stay calm and strong to get out of this situation, look ahead to the week of training, and help the players because they've given their all without reward. I'm confident that we can turn it around next time".

Players lacking confidence: “The situation is down to the results. We came off the back of a good game, but again we lacked efficiency. The results generate that lack of confidence and now is the time to look ahead and we have the ability to do so. We came off the back of two draws with mixed performances and today's defeat is quite unfair. But I'll go further than that, the players had the will to win the game, but we couldn't finish it off”.

Problem in the areas: “Eibar had that cross from the wing and the set piece. Then the two transitions from trying to go forward. The post, the possible penalty, we didn't manage to score and they did from a set piece”.

Juan Cruz: “This is everyone's responsibility, we can't focus on one player. We all have to push harder, today is not a day to talk about individuals but about the team, about unity, and about transferring that unity to the fans. Today is a difficult day, but we need them”.
