Mikel Oyarzabal came out against his coach's criticism, Imanol Alguacilwho singled out the players for the tough defeat suffered in the Basque derby in San Mamés. The Real coach was very forceful with his analysis: “We have not come to play the derby, I would have changed my eleven players”he assured.
Minutes later, asked about this criticism, Oyarzabal He did not bite his tongue and let it slip that the approach may not have been the most appropriate either: “We have been having a hard time for four years and we are not ourselves. We still have to take a look at it from the beginning, from how we approach it, from what is the idea that we have from within and well, we all try to be self-critical. In the field, we are aware that in the end we are the ones who take the blame out of the fire when things are not going well, I think. that we have many years here with the same mistake or in the same way and everyone has to look inward and each one make self-criticism in their own thing.
The striker and captain of Real was clear in the mixed zone after the match and fueled the controversy with an exchange of statements that will have to be followed closely in the coming days. The fourth consecutive defeat in San Mamés has hurt the royalists.
