Calderon: We just collapsed

Gabriel Calderon claimed his Real Betis side ‘collapsed’ as they went down 5-0 to Valencia this afternoon.

The Verdiblancos were demolished at Mestalla today, as they let in five to stay at the bottom of the Liga table.

And the Coach has admitted that his men threw in the towel after Jeremy Mathieu’s goal on 40 minutes.

“Every game is like a final for us now and we have to go into them thinking like that,” he told a Press conference.

“Obviously, this result is a negative, but I thought we played well for 40 minutes.

“And then, after conceding the first goal we collapsed psychologically.

“We just weren’t strong enough to come back from that.”
