Aguirre Left With Bitter Taste After Tricolor Win
Goal.com 4 hours, 1 minute ago
The Mexican national team finally seemed to catch a break as they beat Trinidad & Tobago at home by 2-1.
Although the performance was a dominant one Mexico was only able to win by the slightest margin. Javier Aguirre liked his team’s performance but he was still left with a bitter taste in his mouth.
“I liked the way the team won, the way they played, how they attacked and how they defended. But I did not like the result,” Aguirre said in a televised press conference.
The Mexicans only won by one goal but the margin could have been larger had they finished on their opportunities.
“The result is not a reflection on what happened inside the pitch,” admitted Aguirre. “Mexico made the plays, had the ball, and opened up the game. There was always two in green that were not being marked. The victory was not a bad one but the result sure was.”
“We were left with a bitter taste at the end,” added Aguirre.
El Tri’s performance was much better than the one they had against El Salvador. Although Mexico kept complete dominance, their errors again cost them a goal and that can’t happen again said Aguirre.
“We committed three or four errors without the ball, and one of those errors cost us a goal. We need to take care of those small details.”
Although Mexico won, they were not applauded at the end of the game. Aguirre was asked about the roaring boos that came at the end of the game.
“The people might be disappointed, but the players are even more disappointed. It’s killing them inside because they know we could have won by a greater score,” Aguirre expressed.
Aguirre finished by agreeing with the Mexican fans, saying again that the result should have been greater.
“This game was for a 5-1 score, and I hope that the Trinidadian press doesn’t misinterpret that. It should have been a bulk result and the fans are right to be mad.”
