Martinez: “Our team played high level football – We made mistakes and paid for them”

THE Olympic was superior against Freiburghowever, he did not manage to get the victory and thus the Germans won 3-2.

THE Diego Martinez spoke after the game and appeared disappointed after his team’s result, while also commenting on Ese’s injury.

The Spanish coach’s statements in detail:

On whether it’s the fact that the best team doesn’t always win: “It hurts us because our goal was to win, but today really the result could have been different, we made mistakes that you pay for in Europe. We had the chance for more goals, we lost a game where the chances we believe would have given us a better result.”

For missed opportunities: “There were missed opportunities, at the beginning of the first half, we had a clear chance, we could have gone to half-time with a different score. We made mistakes, you pay for them, but we fought back, we kept trying, we had 17 finals, a big number. We learn… the mistakes, the missed opportunities, we tried to swim against the current.”

About Ese and how he comments on the phase: “It was an unpleasant moment, we have made two forced changes. The contact was obvious, he has a tear on his nose. It was something that bothered us, the result has hurt us. We have an important game on Sunday, we have to recover. Our team played high-level football.”
