André Jardine’s message after Leagues Cup exit | OneFootball

Club América was eliminated from the Leagues Cup after recording three draws in three matches played, in which they won two penalty shootouts and lost another.

At a press conference, André Jardine expressed his regret over what happened, stating that they were not hiding the failure that this represented.

“We regret it, we wanted to win the Leagues Cup, but it wasn’t enough, we don’t deserve it, it hurts a lot, we won’t look for excuses, this is a failure,” he said.

André admitted that the team’s elimination from the tournament began when they failed to earn points in the first match, recalling that they drew the game but lost in the penalty shootout, something that could have made the difference.

“The feeling of being eliminated is terrible, we have high expectations in every competition we play and it’s terrible to know that you no longer depend on yourself; we knew that because of the tournament format we had to get points from the first match, we didn’t manage to do that in the first game and it cost us. We are not used to this.” were his words.

At the same time, he assured that the elimination was not at all unfair since the team showed many inconsistencies, but he also considers this to be part of the start of the season, pointing out that by the end of it they will be at a much higher level.

“I don’t think it’s unfair, the irregularity of our performances, the inconsistency was reflected in the points we earned. This tournament, being so early in the season, will reward teams that have had more training time, I think it will show a bit more for those teams at this moment.”

In two or three months, when the Mexican league playoffs are played, I can assure you that we will be at another level; unfortunately, the Campeón de Campeones and the Leagues Cup came at a time when we lost a bit of confidence, our style, and at a time when some players are not at their best, but the fans can be certain that in the playoffs we will be very strong, as América is used to being a very consistent team that always competes.” he concluded.
