According to VoetbalPrimeur, Van der Gijp was left unimpressed by Míchel's performance in the interview, labelling his English as "ontluisterend" or "dismal". Van der Gijp felt that Míchel's inability to articulate his thoughts effectively was a poor representation of the club. "You can't get any further than 'We got chances'," Van der Gijp said, criticising Míchel's lack of clarity in the interview.
Van der Gijp also expressed his disappointment with Míchel's decision to start Jofre Torrents, a young player, in the match. "You're going to damage a young player by putting him in a situation like this," Van der Gijp said, questioning Míchel's decision-making.
Míchel's team selection and communication skills have been put under the spotlight following the loss to Hajduk Split.
