Sensations
“This is like that, we say it many times. Sometimes football scores a goal out of nowhere and sometimes you have very clear chances and you don’t manage to convert. So, with our first half, with the chances we have had and the game we have had In the end the game was open, we didn’t see it going in our favor and since it has quality, the play was put in front of us and well… we managed to tie and we were even able to win, but there was also a play with a against very clear that they had to be able to go with 0-2. They are a very good team that we have made that they were not good and we have dominated them and we have to continue but of course our game has been a great game.
Djaló’s party
“Man, I don’t know. I hope it’s not the best game, but that he can still play better than what he did today, because I believe he can do it. But he is fine, more and more involved with the team. He He can occupy several positions, and when he plays in that forward position, as always, he is moving and we can change positions and generate some uncertainty for the opponent. In that sense, I think he has been very good.

Cross and Palace
“In both cases it is a lumbar problem. In the case of Jauregizar, he had some discomfort during the week and we have been dosing him a little and what Guruzeta has is some discomfort from yesterday, but they were both quite bad and I preferred not to force them taking into account the games that are coming this week.”

Iñaki Williams
“It ended very poorly at the end. The last ten or fifteen minutes I was already quite tired, the thing is that I also had a window left to make the changes, I saw Prados that he was going very tight and, then, when making the fourth Instead, I almost forced myself to make the fifth, also to maintain depth on the right wing for Gorosabel and also change De Marcos and we were left there without a possibility of change. But in the last minutes I was already very tired. “.
More about Iñaki and his definition
“Well… this is like any other… When you’ve been accumulating fatigue during the game, the first half always has the possibility and a much broader vision of the game and as you get tired you see less, but in the end Iñaki He has always been there to try to get to the goal. Maybe there was some play with Martón, but it was not a very clear pass and he trusted a lot in that shot. In any case, we have had situations to have resolved. We had many chances in the second half and it was a game in which it is good that the players have the ambition to score, especially the forwards”:
