Elimination in Orihuela: “It was very nice, a nice show, the atmosphere was spectacular, we must congratulate the fans and value the work of Orihuela, we knew it was going to be a difficult match. We managed to advance to the next round, a competition that we are fond of, we really like it. Even though it was on penalties, the objective has been met.”
Missed penalty and fear in the shootout: “No, honestly. We feel bad for Bertugn because the boy is the second penalty that he missed. He was confident at all times. It has cost a lot, we had a rival in front of us who has put us in trouble and has competed at a high level. Our team as a whole believed, the players who came out gave everything and in the end they achieved the goal.”
Fatigue: “We are very fair, not because of this game and the extra time. There are players who have been playing many minutes. Today we tried to get players with fewer minutes to participate but now we don’t have to think about it but rather about recovering the players who will be there on Monday. There are days, we will have time to prepare for the next League match.”
-Talk before penalties: “Above all confidence, that they were going to score and pass. That they believed. They were confident and we must highlight how they took the penalties and especially Jiri who saved all three penalties. A lot of merit, congratulations to him and his teammates”
