He Athletic of Madrid he was eliminated against Leipzig. A hard moment, for that reason one of the captains came out as he is Saúl Ñíguez to make self-criticism at all levels in front of the media.
Elimination assessment
“Negative feelings, defeat hurts a lot. The rival team was superior to us in many phases of the game. They have understood the game very well, they have always created superiority in many areas of the field. Especially outside. It is difficult to steal because in many plays you are not even close to stealing or even cutting. They played a good game, I think they were superior in various phases of the game. It is true that after our goal we have been good but then we have not been able to have clear chances and in the end the fatigue has made them find a goal ”.
Guilty of defeat
“You have to give a lot of credit to the rival team for how they have planned the game. We are also guilty of not knowing the moment of the game. Players like me have to know how to read the games on the field better to be able to help the team and this has not been the case ”.
Previous scouting
“We knew how Leipzig was going to play but in the end when a match takes place it is difficult, difficult because when a match is played there are many things. Due to the game, you have many doubts when leaving and we have been backing down. In the end when you get the ball back you have so many meters left facing the rival goal that it is difficult to advance because there is a lot of space between us between the lines ”.
Sensations after the game
“It is complicated because you feel both sadness and disappointment. We were very excited, this year has been very difficult for everyone with everything that is happening. The fans deserved this illusion that united us all and gave us that point of hope for this season. It has not been possible to be very sorry for all of us that in the end we live it with great passion from within. For all those who are outside because even though they are not with us they always make us feel their warmth. In the end it is those two sensations ”.
