The Swansea City goalkeeper was powerless to stop Craig Bellamy’s 85th minute winner for Cardiff City that settled a nervy derby and lifted the visitors back above the Swans in the Championship table.<\/p>\n
It was a goal that was deserved for the away side and De Vries handed them credit for getting it right on the day<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a big blow because you are not just playing for yourself you are playing for many other people,\u201d he told the Western Mail<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are playing for the people of\u00a0Swansea, for pride and it\u2019s a massive three points.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be ourselves, we were not the dominant side we like to be but we have to learn from that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was frustrating. We want to be a dominant side and that\u2019s got to result in chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to create chances because the more you create, the more likely you are to score one of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t do it enough and then you end up losing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey studied our game very well. Some teams cope better with our system than others and Cardiff did it well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t get our passes going enough but fair play to them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t see much of Bellamy all game, I thought Angel (Rangel) played him very well but you can see his quality and how he can decide a match.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
