According toMundodeportivo.

Background

John Ansotegui, the young coach of Sansi, faces big challenges in Liga Pro after this loss. It requires him to improve the players' focus on football and avoid being drawn into provocations that may affect the team's results.

Why is this important?

Sansi's loss under coach John Ansotegui reflects the major challenges facing clubs in Liga Pro football. Provocations and tensions during matches can negatively affect performance, making it necessary to focus on football rather than getting carried away by such behaviour.

Key points

  • Great anger at Ansotegui in Ceuta: “My worst day as a coach and not because.
  • John Ansotegui expressed his dissatisfaction after his team's loss, pointing out the need to focus on football instead of provocations.
  • Enfado monumental de Ansotegi in Ceuta: "He mi peor día como entrenador y no por lo futbolístico".
Coach John Ansotegui expressed his great dissatisfaction after his team's loss in Ceuta, as his anger was not directed at the referees' decisions, but rather at the actions of his players who showed a lack of concentration during the match. Ansotegui stressed that his team was clear in its goal to play well, but they were drawn into unnecessary provocations since the first half. “The overall assessment of the match is very negative,” Ansotegui said. “We came here to play football, and we had to be clear from the beginning, but we started to get into petty provocations and things that have nothing to do with football, and we cannot be like that. I am a new coach, but for me, this is my worst day, not because of the football performance, but because of everything that happened. If Ceuta has 12 coaches calling us or abusing us, it should not affect us, we have to We play football. He continued: “We must learn that what we came to do is play, and we cannot present such an image of provocations and violent responses. If you are insulted, look at them and keep playing. Competitors see this, and next week some will see us and try to provoke us. We cannot fall into this trap. I think what happened today can be understood more through this behavior rather than the football performance. I come home very frustrated about it. Because we didn't play football today, either because they took us out of the match or because we weren't at our level. I can't let this happen again and we will try to make it right. Regarding the referee’s performance, Ansotegui did not want to comment much, stressing that the referee must do his job properly. He explained: “If the referee thinks there is a sending off, that is his business. I have nothing to say in this regard. I repeat, what we cannot do is allow external decisions or provocations to take us out of the match. That happened today, and I hope that this is the last time. I do not want this to happen again. Ansotegui also spoke about the events that took place in the coaches' area, where he pointed out that there was bad behavior on the part of some players and coaches in both teams. He stressed: “When these things happen, there are always people who behave inappropriately, but we cannot fall into provocations. After the game, things are tense, but we have to be able to break away from it. My job is to teach the players how to play, and most importantly, to play football. When we come here or anywhere else, we should focus on that. The further we move away from that, the greater our chances of getting sent off, beaten or presenting a bad image as happened at the end of the match. We must learn not to give the referee any chance to send us off. If I spend my time evaluating the referee, I will lose time evaluating and analyzing our performance. At the end of his speech, he was asked about the situation in Ceuta, where he sent his regards to the people who are suffering. He said: "As a human being, when you see people suffering, what comes out of you is sending a hug to those who are suffering. But this hug does not solve anything. There are other people who must solve these matters."

What's next?

Ansotegui and his team will have to address these issues before the next match, where they will have to face more provocations from opponents. It is important for players to learn how to stay calm and focus on performing in Liga Pro to achieve better results.
