Unai Emery has lamented their 3-2 defeat in the UEFA Champions League second group stage game against Celtic CF at Luzhniki stadium on Tuesday
Spartak Moscow head coach, Unai Emery, could not hide his frustration after his side failed to win their second group stage match against Celtic FC, after their opening day 3-2 defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 at Camp Nou.
The Red-whites threw the one-goal lead by conceding twice in the last quarter of the match. The visitors took full advantage of the situation after Juan Insaurralde was sent off in the 63rd minute.
In aftermath of the outcome, Unai Emery has bemoaned the loss, saying that the Spartachi could have won the match had they defended well against an organized Scottish Premier League team.
The Moscow-based club remains at the bottom spot on their respective group table despite http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542, the other group member, recorded their second defeat of the cup competition against the Catalans.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 boss refused to admit that his side is lacking confidence on the pitch after their earlier defeat in the European competition against the Spanish giants, Barcelona.
"It is wrong to compare two different games, against Barcelona and Celtic. It's not about the attitude or about the individual problems of players. The problem is that failed to maintain the rhythm that could have allowed us to
retain the lead.”
“We will work on our defence and I think we can improve. We can address the defensive problems. We did not realize the moments and we lost the ball possession at times during the match. These mistakes cost us the match.” The Copa
del Rey winner was quoted as saying.
And while the Spanish tactician bemoaned the defensive mistakes to concede three goals at home, Emery was quick to defend his decision to play reserve goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergei-Pesyakov-c32970, against the hoops.
Pesyakov started the European meeting in place of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192 last month.
