Valverde: “It was a great game on our part”

Athletic’s coach, Ernesto Valverdemaintains after a victory that vanished from San Mamés against the Betisthat “sometimes a goal is scored out of nowhere and other times you don’t manage to score. In the first half with so many chances the game was open. They have gone ahead and we have been able to draw and win, but they also have some against them. We have dominated them and it has been a great game on our part, he points out. What’s more, he launches a maxim: “We have made many chances to have resolved.”

“We should all congratulate ourselves on the game we have seen, the team is very tired for going against the flow and not holding anything back. In the end they ended up very melted. You have to continue. If we play all the games like this, not many will leave“Adds Valverde, always cautious, analyzing this tie that could not be exchanged for a more than deserved victory. Djaló was good in the first half: “I hope he can still play better, that’s fine. “Increasingly involved, changing positions to create uncertainty for the rival and he has been very good,” Valverde narrates.

Guruzeta and Jauregizar’s injuries are not serious. “Both lumbar, Jauregizar with some discomfort from the week and we have dosed him, and Guruzeta had a discomfort from yesterday. “I preferred not to force them,” comments Valverde, who praises a Iñaki Williams brutal: “It ended very poorly at the end, in the last window I saw Prados very fair. “He played a great game.”
