Despite being thrashed 3-0 in their opening Group-F fixture in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier on Thursday, Golden Jaguars Head Coach Marcio Maximo, says that the result did not reflect the competitive nature of the contest.
This was stated in a post-match virtual press conference yesterday. According to Maximo, “Of course we are disappointed with the result but not with the performance. I would like to say that the score didn’t reflect what we saw in the game. If you saw the game for 90 minutes, the team showed its composure, it’s tactical discipline but sometimes when you make mistakes in the crucial times of the game you should pay the price especially against teams like Trinidad that have experienced players and players playing at high level. But generally the team competed at high level and I repeat the score didn’t reflect what shown in the game.”
