“We were doing well until the 2-0”

Athletic Club’s manager, Gaizka Garitano, has appeared before the press after losing 2-0 to Atlético de Madrid on the 10th matchday of LaLiga Santander. “We were doing well until we conceded the second goal; they created very few chances to score two goals. Our team played with a lot of personality, we had chances, and when this happens you need to score, especially on this pitch, otherwise they have their opportunities. Their keeper was good too.”

Garitano has praised the fact that today’s first half performance has been “by far” the best on the road so far this season. “We did things really well until the 2-0. It is a shame because our game went from better to worse.”

Regarding the changes made during the match, he explained that “we tried to find the goal with Adu, the crosses from Ibai and more depth with De Marcos.”
