Statements by Íñigo Pérez
“I think the party clearly has a part for everyone. In the second, we had talked at half-time that due to the difference on the scoreboard they could try to play with two forwards, with Rubén and Aimar entering inside and with deep wingers to be able to close us in the area. They have achieved it, they have scored a goal, but I think that later with the adjustments that we have been able to make we have been able to, in such a difficult stadium, despite the emotion of a goal, be able to get back to the game and even have a chance.”
“The first thing is to have a mentality similar to the teams that come to Vallecas and make it very difficult for us. I have talked to you about the atmosphere, you already know it, but it is true that I can help you a little more with that. Then we know that they have a very high line, we also have a lot of vertical speed. Try to attract them a little, have play inside and then be able to throw at them. It just so happened that it happened like this, but well, we haven’t been able to sustain it.”
“It was possible due to several circumstances because when you come from winning and also now you are going to a weekly period in which you do not have a match during the week. There was the possibility that they would repeat and well it is clear that they are physically strong and can play Wednesday Sunday without any type of penalty.”
“It is a point that I am happy with. I’m happy because I really liked the first half both in attack and defense and then I really liked the response we had to the goal. You know better than I what a goal produces in El Sadar: the succession of waves there is and how difficult it is to endure it. I think we have maintained that, but being brave with the game, going back to the rival field to keep Budimir away from the area and in the end it is true that even if you want, the needs of this team are to center, play on the outside and with forwards like Raúl and Budimir we have had moments of drawing water.”
“Before the game you discuss it with the coaching staff, with the players who have been here and even the president. Then during the game you can’t shoot towards this stage because then I think you get a little paralyzed. You can’t think negatively, we were thinking more about seeing if we score the goal than about seeing a situation of saying if this year it doesn’t happen.”
-“It is just the point and if I repeat that it leaves me satisfied with the place where a point was achieved. We can see the results that Osasuna have been having this year here and it is also true that we are comfortable away from home, so I am satisfied with this point and now I hope we can close the month of January with a victory at home.”
“I’m going to be honest today I put on a jacket just to avoid receiving questions like this, but I wasn’t cold. The other day, in San Sebastián, I was cold and I dressed warmly. Today has been more about what they will say because in the end I am almost giving more talk for this type of things than for others and well today I have sheltered myself for this.”
“Delighted to return to my city, to see family members, to see others… It brings back memories when you return to a place where you have been well and on top of that it is your land. It generates automatic memories and I loved it.”
“It is true that our nines have a hard time finding the goal, not because of qualities, not because of chances or because they generate them, but because, well, you are not sharp. In this case Sergio has found it today, in addition to his very characteristic movement. It’s a goal that’s very much his and I think it’s going to give him confidence. Then he had a couple of chances, you know how the nines work, he scored a goal, he has to keep trying and see if between now and the end of the season, for all the forwards, first we generate situations and then they can convert to feel useful.”
