Question about interview after a game

Hi everyone, I've got a question but let me give a little of the context first.
Let's supposed that a game has just ended and a player of the team that lost the game came to give a interview to the reporter. Please take a look at the sentences below and help me to see if there are any mistakes and which one is correct. (I don't understand well the differences between these tenses in sentences like these)
"I have played well but the other guys haven't helped me."
Or maybe
"I played well but the other guys didn't help me"

Thank you for your help =D

Estes frases parecem bons. Boa sorte com o seu inglês.

First, a small correction in your paragraph: Let supposed should be "Let us suppose or Let's suppose" Secondly, Your two sentences essentially mean the same thing. However the first sentence could refer to several previous games instead of the game that has just ended. He could be referring to the entire season depending on the question that was asked. In the second sentence it's clear that the player is only talking about the game that has just ended. I hope this helps.
