Valladolid, Nov 10 (EFE).- The coach of Real Valladolid, Paulo Pezzolano, commented, after the draw against Athletic, that it hurts that the game ended like this in the last play, “because a victory would also have been very important on the emotional and moral level of the team”.
“It hurts a lot because the plan turned out excellent, enough to have taken us the three points: the rival couldn’t create, because we covered the spaces that they use so much, and we made transitions to try to surprise them, we created chances and scored,” he commented.
That is why he considers that what his team lacked was “getting the last ball”, since they knew that they were a vertical rival, with many players who break easily, and they kept them at bay, until that last foul came, and he entered .
Although they deployed a five-line defense, they have clarified that this would be repeated if the rival requires it, but their approach always changes depending on the team in front of them and, in this case, they considered that figure to be appropriate, and it worked.
Despite this good defense, the white and purple team conceded a goal again, but they were “more solid, since they did not have clear scoring opportunities, and this one came with a still ball, which they converted.”
“It has been unfortunate. Things are being corrected, because today we had clear goal options, and we have to continue on the path of growth, and try not to concede,” he added, already focusing his thoughts on the next game after the national team break. .
Precisely for this reason, he insisted that “it would have been very positive to be out of relegation, but this is going to be like this, if you win one, you are going to leave, and it is clear that games against direct rivals you have to win and go to for everything to add three.
Regarding his seventh yellow card, he has warned that he is not worried, but he is concerned that the red one given to Prados was left yellow, because, in his opinion “it was red, because Raúl Moro came out with a very swollen ankle”, he concluded. . EFE
