This is how FC Andorra coach Beto Company analyzed the match after the hard-fought and difficult victory of the tricolor team in the visit of Tarazona to Estadi Nacional.
#ParauladeMíster | Post vs Tarazona
"Tarazona did spectacularly. I congratulated their coach because they compete in a incredible way. They made us swallow a cement sandwich. They were a very tough opponent. This explains why they had not lost for six weeks and were just four points behind us. Sometimes you think that when you play against a five-man defense you will come out better because they will be less pressing, but they came and took a risk. Their full-backs came forward to pressure us, they dared to stay three by three at the back and it was very difficult for us to get out. We started well, we had a bad quarter of an hour and, from the half hour mark, Álvaro Martín helped us a lot. We put balls inside and Álvaro managed to turn the opponent and cause a yellow card".
"I'm unable to know if the first or the second half was better. The second half was tough but we were patient, calm and, without creating many scoring chances, we finally benefited from a weapon like the set piece which is good if it gives us things. From there, it's worth noting that we defended all of their direct throw-ins into the area and all of their direct play spectacularly well."
"Although we care a lot about how, at this stage of the season these three points are life and give us air. The dressing room is happy and, starting tomorrow, we will have to see what we need to improve against these types of teams and draw the necessary conclusions."
"We have a way of doing things that everyone knows is based on the 4-3-3, which we like and are comfortable with. But, in addition, we have found an alternative that has always worked out quite well for us, which is to play with three defenders and two forwards. We have this alternative and today we used it when it was necessary".
"We are trying to find alternatives so that the first parts are not flat. Sometimes we have the feeling that we get stuck and we can't find rhythm with the ball and in the half we said it: that we needed a little rhythm with the ball circulations and for the opponent not to stand still defending us. We understand that in the first parts the opponents have more energy, but if we don't move them and make them tired, in the second part they could be defending their whole lives. I think we lacked a little rhythm, but I think the solution is not to play more direct".
