After an unexpected defeat at home to the newcomer "Hercules" team in the Spanish championship, the strategist was not inclined to panic.
"We lost not because of the quality of the field or recent international matches, just the opponents were better," said the 39-year-old specialist. "This does not mean we should worry.
"We are facing tough years ahead, so we need to recover from failures as quickly as possible both physically and psychologically."
And he added: "We could not find the rhythm of the game. The opponents defended well, and it was difficult for us to attack when they were so organized and focused."
