“The game is divided into two, a good first half, there may be some errors, the second fact is, we did not compete, we made very significant mistakes, personal, that’s why we suffered and failed. Such a big score,” he commented.
“We changed the system, we tried to come up with more people, and tried to be present, but in the end we suffered a lot,” Vasquez said, then switching to a line of 5 defenders and starting with 4 defenders about the change he made in the second half.
“We had a good first half until the goal was reached, I do not see the players saying, VAR starts with the other yellow, but it does not. We changed it to be more offensive to those coming in from the lanes, and wanted to keep more people in the area so it didn’t come out. We wanted to win the match somehow, it was a mistake on our part, “he said.

‘La Barbie’ asked Vasquez if he had recovered positively from this beating. The South American coach said the artificial ground at Lumenfield had hit his team hard.
“I like the first half we did, we ordered and fought, we dropped that goal from a set piece we had to review because (Roberto) Morera’s mark was marked on a player’s chest. The surface and they do it well, they play with a touch, they give a lot of space and they know very well about this artificial court, ”he concluded.
