THE Matias Almeida commented on some mistakes made by his players in AEK’s loss to Antwerp in Belgium in the Champions League playoffs.
The Argentine coach pointed out that Union should have scored due to the many chances: “It was a European competitive game. We planned it well, we created chances like we planned. We knew that the opposition was a fast and strong team, good on the counterattack and in football you have to score goals. The opponent.” scored with the first chance they got and when he was down to ten players left he obviously defended well.
Getting more specific, he remarked: “In some phases we did what we had to do when the opponent was still ten players, in some phases we didn’t make the right decisions. Maybe we made a lot of crosses and a few throws from the middle distance.”
