Watford head coach Javi Gracia:<\/p>\n
“The first half we had some moments when we dominated, we played more in the opposite half with more arrivals and more chances.<\/p>\n
“But after the first goal from a corner, we feel that we don’t have more power to keep doing the same things we did before \u2013 being well organised and knowing we had to compete against a team who are good in possession.<\/p>\n
“We were better in the first 45 minutes but in the second, after the goal, we were not able to compete well.<\/p>\n
“We are in a difficult moment. Some players are injured, some players are gone, some players are coming, some players are playing with discomfort. The team we have in this moment is this.”<\/p>\n
Swansea head coach Vitor Matos:<\/p>\n
“We felt the [away] performances were going in the right direction and the mentality was and is going in the right direction.<\/p>\n
“It was a matter of efficiency and detail and today that’s what we got. It’s a hard place to come. Watford are a really good team and first half they pushed us back which is not normal, but we were able to cope with that.<\/p>\n
“Then when we had the chances we were able to score and to keep the clean sheet.<\/p>\n
“With the ball in the second half we were able to control more of the game and that gave us the momentum and the chances.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Watford head coach Javi Gracia: “The first half we had some moments when we dominated, we played more…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-445798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
