Despite having been victorious, The 48 -year -old coach ended with a bitter taste: “I have feelings found. A little frustration. Obviously, we are delighted with victory, but we focus more on the process than on the results. And we have been in a situation similar to last week, in terms of things we control and do not control. We made some mistakes. Some errors and so on. But, again, things that we do not control, with a team of four and others, We are again in the same situation as last week and is frustrating“
In the same way, The head coach albiceleste He referred to the lack of coherence when imparting failures within the field. “I think we don’t deserve it. So I have found feelings. It is very frustrating, very frustrating because it is not working. It is not so simple. It is not working. The system, whatever they are doing to improve it, there is no consistency and is not working. ”
“So for me it is not about winning. It’s about how you win, how things are done And, by God, we are playing against a great team. Australia traced, it is a very good team that plays a wonderful rugby and we have to recognize it. And we don’t control that either. But we are responsible for the things we do control, our mistakes. We made many mistakes at crucial moments and we weren’t skilled enough. When we were in the last five meters, we did not mark when we should. And we will learn those things. But, my God, there are other things we don’t control. I’m fed up“He said Contepomi.
“I don’t see solutions,” Felipe Contepomi’s concern
For The emerged from Newman, Sports inaccuracies are mixed with those produced by English Christophe Ridley and his companions in charge of the TMO. ” For our errors in the first part and in the second we had the opportunity to go to the 5 -meter line and yes, there is definitely a bit of frustration there and more. So we move on. We continue working. We are working hard to solve the things we have done wrong Last week and now this week. But My frustration comes from both sides, of things that we control and that I can go and fix and others that I do not control. And unfortunately, I don’t see solutions“He explained.
Contepomi about Australia’s last Try: “I’m frustrated because no one saw that advanced pass. The score didn’t see it.”
In the end, the controversy was in the final pass that resulted in the Try of Filipo Daugunu For the Wallabies, And the Argentine coach He argued: “I’m not frustrated by the Forward pass. I am frustrated because nobody saw that pass forward. The scheme did not see it. There is no coherence. I am frustrating the inconsistency. Similar actions in both times, one enabled the game and in the other charged penalty. So it’s difficult, huh? It is difficult“
Finally, Contepomi He also understood that his colleague, Joe Schmidt It crossed the same outrage. “PRobbly because there is no coherence. Don’t know. I like it. It’s amazing. In the last game there were five penalties out of play for Argentina with four penalties per advantage, none for Australia. Ok, in this match, in the first two minutes there has already been a penalty for Australia. That is not the solution, it is to be consistent throughout the game and I am quite sure that Joe would also be frustrated, but it is … it is a bit difficult, So there is something that is not well done because if you … if two coaches are frustrated, It’s … it’s a bit … I don’t know, “he concluded.
