Javier Aguirre, the Mexican coach of Leganés, considered the defeat suffered at home by 1-2 against Valladolid “a step back in the rule”, although he believes that they still have time to reverse their situation and achieve permanence.
“I am happy with the performance of the players. Not with defeat, it is a step backwards in its own right and we are very hurt and very hurt. But we are not dead by any means. This has to reinforce us, open our eyes, know that at this point we have to play from minute one with the five senses, with maximum concentration. We cannot give anything away, we have nothing left over, “he said.
“Valladolid was not going to make things easy, far from it. But we were very hopeful of involving him in the relegation issue. It is one of those so-called six-point games and unfortunately we let go of a golden opportunity,” he said.
In the course of the clash, two defensive errors had much to do with the opponent's goals: “The blow from the first goal as soon as it hit our spirits, made us lose a bit of calm and decision-making. It is a tremendously painful defeat but if you watch the game, what the team does, the risk it takes, we can be happy with the performance. “
“This invites us to think that the team is going to stand up in every game. We ran as the most and gave away two specific actions. Football is like that, when the coaching staff and I accepted the challenge we knew it was very complicated. We have the numbers we have and we are still in the fight. There are ten dates left and I invite my players not to let their guard down. As long as there are mathematical probabilities, we will fight, “he added.
About the first rival, who was born in a lack of understanding between Cuellar and Awaziem, He said: “I asked them to raise their heads, you can make a mistake but not two. From there, be yourself, make mistakes, do not hesitate, do not lower your head, do not leave the game.”
“I do not even want to find out what happened today. Tomorrow I will ask what is the point of view and that it is not repeated. The error is inherent in the game and the penalty was that we gave it to a direct rival. We cannot regret it, we have to look forward, go to Barcelona with a renewed spirit and try to make a better match than this, “he said.
“We took a step back, these are pure and hard numbers. I fully trust my team. We have our style, our shape, our spirit intact. We have to rewind, look ahead and know that we have a very complicated start. presumed dead in the Camp Nou. We are going to play eleven against eleven, let the ball roll, “he concluded.
