Madrid, Jan 26 (EFE).- Iñigo Pérez, coach of Rayo Vallecano, was happy with the victory against Girona and, although his team has 29 points in 21 games and their survival is on track, he asked for “prudence” and declared that When they achieve the objective, they will be the “first to release their foot from the brake of exaltation.”
Rayo, with two goals in the second half from Franco-Angolan Randy Nteka, overcame Girona’s initial goal, from Bryan Gil, and took the three points that propel them in the standings.
“We have been able to enjoy the moment when you turn the score around, we have been able to sustain it, we have been superior and we are happy,” said Iñigo Pérez, at a press conference.
“When you’re playing a good game against a good rival and you get behind, there are two ways: a visceral and emotional one that asks you to bring out all your guns, to blur yourself to see if in the chaos you can come back, and another that with half an hour to go It invites you to continue doing the same thing with fresh people. When this second thing goes well, you are happy,” he said.
The great protagonist of the match was Nteka, who, with two goals coming off the bench, revolutionized his team.
“When you take a squad of players you look at them and you imagine them because you know the performance they can achieve. Randy has very good physical and technical conditions, he has energy, and he is a player who you can work with and who enjoys. I push them but this is from him, he is the one who goes out and makes an effort. I hope he is aware of where this reward comes from,” said Íñigo Pérez.
-The Navarrese coach was asked about those final minutes corresponding to added time in which there was hardly any play due to constant interruptions from his players and which caused the referee to extend time on the fly.
“I’m not comfortable with this situation at the end. I don’t like time being lost or the game stopping, neither on the part of the players nor the ball boys. In these minutes of extra time we don’t move well and they could have scored two goals against us “he acknowledged.
“Today I understand that the referee has been adding minutes to the lost time and it doesn’t suit us at all. One thing is having a certain mischief, not running to take a throw-in, and another is losing time,” said Iñigo Pérez , who, despite the good dynamics of the team, does not want euphoria.
“You have to be cautious, but I understand that you also have to enjoy yourself. When we achieve our goal, I will be the first to let go of the brakes on exaltation to see where we can go,” he concluded. EFE
