<![CDATA[ Marcano: «Foram as transições, não conseguimos parar o Al Ahly» ]]>

Iván Marcano admits that Al Ahly's attacking transitions ended up setting FC Porto up, who drew (4-4) with the Egyptians and said goodbye to the Club World Cup. Speaking to Porto Canal, the Porto captain also downplayed the intense heat and the tactical change promoted by Martín Anselmi, considering that this does not explain the lack of success.

What was missing? "We were missing things, it's obvious that during the season we weren't able to achieve the minimum objectives and that's how it ended. We had to win the game and by a big margin. It was the transitions, we couldn't stop them and that's it, the game ended like that."

Heat: "Yes, we were very tired, but that's no excuse, because they were too. They were better."

They returned to a scheme with two central defenders: "It's not like that, we're used to system changes."

Message to fans: "I want to thank you, we tried to do better, but it didn't work out, it's a group that wants more. Thank you for supporting us."

TO DAZN:

"Today we tried to give our best and it wasn't enough. It's a reflection of the season. It wasn't enough. They were very strong in transitions, we lost a lot of balls and allowed dangerous transitions. That was the key to the game."

"It's always a source of pride to defend this club. It's my club. I started at Santander, the club from my hometown, but this is the club that I love. End of career? I don't think it's the most important thing to talk about individually. We have to think about the group, about the many things we didn't do much, because this club deserves much more."

Reflection: "We have to rest, think about what we have to do better. The club will do its part and we tried to help, but it wasn't enough. It was a shame."
