How do you rate today’s victory?
We were in a very complicated situation, many injuries, a lot of games, with few breaks. They have competed very well on a mental level with a team that had not lost here. Imposing our way of playing was going to be very complicated but we saw a very good Girona, a great game at a defensive level.
To what extent can the team look up?
We have to keep working, look to the next game. We need to recover players, let them rest, there are only two players who are not going to stop now. Today I am very happy for the mentality of my team, it was a game in which we needed to compete and know how to suffer, we did that very well. The players knew that they were coming to suffer and we had a bad time knowing that we were going to have a bad time.
What did you see in the second part that bothered you?
When I saw that they were putting pressure on us, it was good that we played long, but there were times when we had clear passes and we weren’t seeing it, it made me angry that we lost the ball so quickly. That pass made Getafe run backwards, that’s what I asked of them.
What happened to Gazzaniga before the break and what do you think of his stop?
He has discomfort in his knee, he made a bit of an ugly gesture but he feels fine. I thought it was offside, but he made a real save.
Have you won today in the way you like best?
We like winning in any way, our job is about winning and it is the most important thing. We haven’t won in our style but I’m happy, today we had to do other things, that’s smart. When a player cannot do 800 meters at high intensity, he must do it passing.
