MADRID, 1 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Getafe coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, congratulated himself on the important victory (0-1) against Elche at the Martínez Valero on matchday 12 of LaLiga Santander, and highlighted that the azulón team was “on their feet” throughout the match against an opponent that is “much better” than the table indicates.
“We have been on our feet throughout the game against a rival who had the same need as us. I think we have spent a large part of the game defending up front, which was what we wanted. With ten it has been more difficult,” he said at a press conference in allusion to the expulsion of Amavi in the final stretch.
Sánchez Flores did not hide that in the Madrid team’s locker room they were “very happy” with the result, which allows them to “continue to toughen the team”. “We have beaten a rival that is much better than it appears in the standings. They are in a very similar situation to ours the year before. The team was very focused and we stayed very well in the game that we expected,” he said. .
The Getafe coach warned that “there are many games left” and that, apart from “six or seven teams”, the rest play a “very tough” and “very rough” competition to achieve permanence in LaLiga Santander. “We’re looking to scratch every point and it’s going to take us to many teams. We’re all looking to play in another League, but it’s not easy to make that leap,” he said.
