translated from Spanish: Marcelo Gallardo: “Congratulations to Boca for this championship”

Several minutes after Boca’s victory and the “Xeneize” championship were confirmed, Marcelo Gallardo appeared in a press conference and did so in the room that Atlético Tucumán gave him so that he can take his time to talk to reporters and discuss what was an unexpected championship close.” Pain, sadness and disappointment have to be addressed, but then on Monday we have to reassemble. We’ve done it once again,” said the coach, who didn’t hesitate to recognize the new champion. “If he was the champion, for a reason he was. He won most of the points, he won his match, he had to win it, and we couldn’t. Congratulations to Boca for this championship.”
With regard to the clear arbitral situations that harmed his team, he decided not to speak and download on its decision. “I don’t want to go into the referees and in this case Loustau, who I think is one of the best. I think the goal is annulled, it is in a good position and in the face of doubt raised the pennant, well, he was wrong.”” I have the pain that in such a decisive instance, one tries to narrow the margin of error. The arbitration prepared not to make mistakes, but they made mistakes, as we all make,” Gallardo confessed. “You learn all the time. Not just in victory or defeat. What we are, we’re not going to change it, we’re not going to take a different stance than the one we got when we won. It’s time to take responsibility and start over, because this is the case and football gives you these possibilities.”
“We have to know how to live with winning and losing. Not everyone knows how to do it, measure, be balanced as we have been this time, and that gives us to be a team that has always behaved in the same way, the same in defeat. Let’s not start throwing shit away, even when the others are wrong,” he said. On the other hand, he lied in the Copa Libertadores and turned the page, although he does not rule out that it could cost. “We don’t have a near challenge that encourages us to get out fast. It’s going to be a new challenge and playing again on Wednesday, without an audience is difficult, but we’ll have to see how we respond. It’s a good move””The Copa Libertadores is going to make it difficult, it’s already made difficult. And it is a challenge to see if we can turn it into a stimulus and see if here in the short term we can recover points in the short term and then there will be the Super League Cup. It’s going to be critical and the pain isn’t going to go away, we might have to play Wednesday with the pain, that’s not erased overnight,” he said.
