Same old story for Jaguares
It was the Argentinians sixth loss in a row in their debut season of Super Rugby and Alemanno blamed his team's error rate for this latest setback.
"We could not get a foothold in the match," said Alemanno.
"The Crusaders got a very strong game and they took all their opportunities.
"From our part we made unforced errors, which is something we have been dragging along from other games.
"You have to keep working. We are new in this competition and we are learning a lot. We must continue with the work we have been doing and raise our heads to move forward."
No.8 Facundo Isa said each player in the squad needs to take responsibility for their performances on the field.
"We must improve individually – we need to attack more in the first minutes of the game," said Isa.
"They [Crusaders] came out more determined. They entered our danger zone and came away with points."
Isa said their match against the Sunwolves in Japan is one that they simply have to win.
"Now we have to win. The team started touring one month ago and everyone wants to return home with a victory," he added.
