Koeman: 'Atalanta showed more desire to win!' 15.09.2017

The Everton manager Ronald Koeman had to be content with the loss with 0:3 with Atalanta in the first round of the League Europe. The Dutchman said that according to him, the reason for this loss is that Italians have shown more willingness to win compared to its players.
'A lot of things went wrong in that match. Perhaps only in the first minutes the situation looked good and we have been able to hold the ball for longer. Our game with ball was bad, but perhaps the most unpleasant is that rival showed more aggression, more passion and desire to win. It is very unpleasant, because it is one of the most important things in football, and only after that comes in the class plays. After the match with Tottenham Hotspur, he asked himself what am I doing wrong, because I don't want to see my team plaingy in a similar way. We can show bad football and we can miss goal opportunities, but for me, it is unacceptable not to see the passion and devotion of the players. Today our opponent was ahead in that respect.', said Koeman.
