MADRID, 2 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Real Valladolid coach, José Rojo Martín ‘Pacheta’, acknowledged a hard blow this Sunday in the 6-0 defeat against Real Madrid, diluted in his approach against a rival who smelled blood, while declaring himself responsible for the situation and confident in being able to “fix” it to achieve salvation.
“Now we have to lick our wounds, analyze everything we’ve done wrong. We’ve gone on well, a good 20 minutes, but when we have a setback we’re not able to recover. We’ve had 10 minutes where four goals have been scored and we haven’t been able to stop any transition. Thank the Valladolid fans,” he said at a press conference at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The Pucela coach pointed out that he understands the difficulty of facing Madrid and suffering the siege they suffered, but he confessed that they did “quite a few things wrong.” “Now because we are losing everything is very bad, but we are the same as three months ago. Whenever it rains, it clears up. We have to fix it, we have done many things wrong. We are specialists in getting out of these situations. We have to work on the emotional issue of the player. It’s hard for us to be constant in the game and that’s what we have to work on”, he stated.
“I still have to choose better, but I am responsible. The player does what he has to do. I know what is suffered in these fields. I am the person who has to take this forward,” he added.
On the other hand, Pacheta insisted that they had a game plan that worked until the mood fell once again. “We have created a game plan that has worked for the first few minutes. Then at this moment that we are not clear of everything, everything has come upon us. I had never conceded six goals, today it is our turn,” he said.
“These teams are all top, and if you don’t score against Benzema, he’ll score three goals quickly. We’ve diluted ourselves and when Madrid smells blood, it’s going to break you. I’m not going to come and lock myself up. This is the model we have, it’s the “That makes us have 28 points. There are teams that are better than you and beat you. Real Madrid has punished us and now we can learn and start thinking about Mallorca. I am clear about how hard the week is going to be”, he added.
