Athletico's coach, Cuca, talked about taking lessons from defeat for the Danubio- URU, but minimized the result. According to him, "if there was a moment when one could lose it, it was this."
" We are very sad to lose because no one likes to lose, but if there was a moment when one could lose it was this. It won't be necessary, I think, for us to finish first overall. That we have to learn lessons, we have to learn lessons".
He spoke Cuca on Wednesday (15).
Athletico, however, parked at 12 points and lost the overall leadership to Lanús (13 points). In addition, Hurricane can still be surpassed by Always Ready (10 points) and Univesidad Católica (10 points), who still play in the round.
In other words, the Cuca team no longer depends only on its own forces to be the general leader and, with this, decide the kill-killers at home until a possible semifinal.
The Athletic, however, still depends only on you to go straight to the final eighties. For that, just win or tie with Sportivo Ameliano in the last round. A defeat, however, would send Hurricane to playoff against a Liberators team.
Cuca evaluates Athletic game
Cuca also analyzed the difficulty of the Athletic before the Uruguayans on Wednesday (15) and valued the performance of the opposing team.
"We understood that it was a difficult game. In the game there in Uruguay, we went with an alternate team, it was a very hard game. We made a stop ball goal and we didn't raise much. They have a team that only took three goals in the competition. A very solid team," Cuca said.
" For me, it was a game that gave us some conclusions. From the beginning, you have said ‘Why don’t you play together Pablo and Mastriani?’. Today was a game to try. After we were losing, there was no use taking it off", he completed.
The next South American game of Athletico de Cuca will be against Sportivo Ameliano. The duel of the sixth round of the Group E will be on the 30th, a Thursday, at 7pm, in Baixada.
