Racing's technical director, Gustavo Costas, expressed his disappointment after the 2-0 defeat against Estudiantes in the third round of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol Apertura Tournament. In the post-match press conference, Costas revealed he was affected by his team's performance, admitting that the opponent was superior throughout the match.
Costas acknowledged the superiority of the Platense team and stated that Racing did not play their best match. "We played badly. It's terrible," he commented. The coach also expressed his discontent with a journalist's attitude during the conference, suggesting there was a lack of confidence in the team.
The coach recalled Racing's achievement in winning the Copa Sudamericana last year and highlighted the importance of trusting the group. Despite the defeat, Costas assured that he does not leave worried but also does not share the attitude of wanting to "break everything apart" after just one lost match.
Costas also mentioned Racing's upcoming challenge against Boca Juniors and emphasized the importance of staying calm and not panicking after a defeat. Despite the tension in the press conference, the coach made it clear that he trusts his team and that they will work to improve in the upcoming matches.
