"We need to be more precise" - Coach Arrasate's Honest Match Assessment and Future Challenges

Hello everyone! Today, I've brought you news that is sure to capture the attention of football fans.

Recently, it's been reported that Real Mallorca's coach, Jagoba Arrasate, has revealed his honest sentiments after the home draw against Levante. I was genuinely intrigued when I saw this news. His thoughts on the positive aspects alongside areas needing improvement were impressive.

"Ultimately, we managed to score an equalizer, so we can view it positively."

In his post-match interview, Coach Arrasate began with a positive assessment of the result. Despite falling behind during the game, he highly valued the fact that the team managed to secure a point by scoring an equalizer in the end. In this match played at the Son Moix stadium, it is undoubtedly encouraging that the team did not give up and managed to achieve a result even in difficult circumstances. 😊

"We cannot defend a goal kick like that, and we let the center-back lead like that to score a goal."

However, Coach Arrasate's remarks did not end there. He also added sharp critiques regarding the team's match management. Specifically, he expressed his disappointment with the defense of the opponent's goal kicks and the build-up play by the center-backs. From his statement, "We cannot defend a goal kick like that, and we let the center-back lead like that to score a goal," it was evident that improvements in defensive organization are urgently needed. Regarding the situation where the opponent's center-back was allowed to build up play, ultimately leading to a goal, he clearly emphasized, "We must defend and improve the situation." 😓

"Levante seems to play a transitional game" and the use of the 4-4-2 system

Coach Arrasate also analyzed the playing style of the opponent, Levante. He assessed, "Levante seems to play a transitional game, playing away from home as if they were at home," suggesting that they failed to properly control the opponent's strengths during the match.

In the midst of this game flow, Coach Arrasate made a decisive move by switching to a 4-4-2 formation in the second half. He explained, "It's not the best system [...]. We had to go with 4-4-2," indicating that a change was necessary given the circumstances and that he made a bold decision. His comment that they couldn't operate the same way as when the score was tied, given that they scored an equalizer late in the game, seemed to reflect his intense deliberation and determination as a coach. 💡

"What we lacked was being more precise."

Although Mallorca showed good offensive play in this match, there was a sense of regret that they couldn't convert crucial moments into goals. Coach Arrasate directly stated, "What we lacked was being more precise." It appears he felt a significant disappointment for not capitalizing on scoring opportunities and not securing the win more easily.

What are your thoughts on this match result? I'm curious to hear how you evaluate securing an equalizer late in the game, perhaps similar to Coach Arrasate's remarks!

That's all for today's news. I'll be back with more interesting updates. Have a wonderful day, everyone! ✨
