Dario Rodriguez, about the win over Defensor: “We knew how to handle it.”

after victory on Sporting defendertrainer Penarol, Dario Rodriguez“A great result was achieved against a great, very well-coached team,” he said.

Rodriguez noted, in a press conference, that “the previous match, emotionally, was similar” against the purple team, where Peñarol also had to turn the score around, referring to the intermediate championship match. However, the coach highlighted a difference in this match and said that Orenegro’s team was the protagonist from the beginning. “From the first moment we were champions, it was clear that we were looking for it, we created clear situations in that first half, and we lacked a little composure or aim in the final pass. “I’m also very happy with the fact that, as I told the team, apart from the fact that we missed some important players, those who were there did it in a great way. Regardless of the goal or not, I’m very calm.” About that “Indian.

Carbonero’s coach also confirmed this His team “kept moderation and continued to believe in the team and that the situation could be reversed.” Although he started losing due to Alvaro Navarro’s penalty goal. “We always talk about it, and we know that we have a squad of important players, and that they can benefit at any time and in any situation as it was today. It is about belief and insisting on what you think is best to achieve the result, and that is what happens,” Rodriguez said. .

He also answered several questions about the conclusion of the match and how Penarol He ended up playing too close to his goal for the rest of the game, and also gave up the ball to keep the score. “With the recent changes, the opponent advanced in strength and added attackers, and this made us think about making a change to give the team greater solidity in defence, and we knew that we were resigned to possession of the ball.. That’s why we couldn’t put together any counter-attack to extend the lead, José Neres was already tired, but overall, it was a great game against a big rival and we got what we came for, which was a win. “, he commented.

In this sense, he expressed that the entry of Hernán Minosi was due to the fact that he was looking for greater solidity in the defensive line, since “the defender put four attackers, they almost split the team and they were playing directly.” “I think we achieved that, although we struggled a little in the last few minutes with crosses and the opponent’s ability to communicate. We knew how to suffer from it and this is a good result because of the way the match happened“he added.

He was also consulted by Damian Garcia, and highlighted the work the young midfielder is doing in the middle of the park. “What Damien has done is truly commendableHe’s a boy who grew up here at the club, and I know very well what he offers. He gives us a lot of balance, structure and cover when we attack. “He is an important player, as are the others as well, and he gives us the possibility to put people with a more attacking career because, in general, he is always in a good position and his youth allows us to put in an important display during the 90 minutes.” , He said.
