Gallardo’s word
El Muñeco attributed the failures in operation to the need to “have to assemble a new team, because it is not easy to adapt to the demands of the club.” We have a good squad formation but we have to finish putting together a new team. For those who arrive it is not easy to adapt to the demand of this club. Nothing is overnight. There is work, adaptations…,” Gallardo said, adding: “It has cost us not to be able to stop for a moment to rearrange ourselves in the middle of the year. We are much more noticeable when we can not play as we want or express it on the court, because it is the demand that we have.” We put the entry conditions, we tried to do our thing beyond the opponent and we did not give Newell’s many opportunities. The first goal gave us security and with the second goal we rounded off a good half. There are always good things to hold onto,” he explained.
On the other hand, he emphasized: “Not everything is bad when you lose nor is it excellent when you win. There are still some mismatches and we need to keep working to be a more reliable team. I think we’re going to have chances to fight for the championship, but if not, we’re going to finish forming a very good team.” Finally, he said: “It is wonderful to see how the fan accompanies and fills the court. That he can leave here happy is always a nice gift. We want to continue giving joy to the fans.”
