Following the Copa Argentina elimination against Atlético Tucumán, Edinson Cavani spoke up and was self-critical about the team's defeat. The Uruguayan striker scored the consolation goal, but it was not enough.
Edinson Cavani spoke to the broadcast immediately after Hernán Mastrángelo blew the final whistle of the match in which the Xeneize said goodbye to the federal competition. Miguel Ángel Russo's team once again showed poor performance and continues to be unable to win.
The Matador made his analysis of the team's performance: "I think that in the first half we created chances, we attacked quite a bit. We found spaces at times and had some goal chances, we couldn't score, we couldn't make it happen which would have given us a different control of the game. Then, in the second half they find that goal, from a rebounded ball and we didn't have the contingency to keep filtering, as we had in the first. Then the game gets more complicated with the 2 to 0".
On the other hand, Edinson Cavani assured: "Surely there are things missing, we have to improve, that's very clear. We have to bow our heads, keep working and go out every match to give our best as we try to do. Personally, keep working as well. We have to keep pushing, move forward".
