Elche's coach, Jorge Almirón, said this Sunday, after the equalizer of his team against the Villarreal (0-0) at La Cerámica, which was “a good draw against a good rival” that makes them grow sportingly.
“A draw that tastes good to us, well worked with a very difficult opponent. In the first part we wanted the ball, risking a little more, but we worked very well defensively and I didn't see many of his chances. In the second, for their part they put more, we missed some pass, but we did not suffer and we were quite safe behind, “summarized the Argentine coach.
“We wanted to have attacked more, but when we missed the passes we were in doubt and maybe we backed off a bit,” he said.
Almirón also recalled that Villarreal had been scoring goals for a whole year and that this “merit” of his team “in his work” has not done so this Sunday.
“They did not generate much, another zero in the goal and that is good, we continue growing and working. The rivals have been a long time and we we are assembling the team little by little. I do not know that now we are well, we are strong physically and little by little we will loosen up, “he said.
He also highlighted that in general he liked “the concentration, the work in individual duels and the help” of his players. “At times we had possession with qualityThey pushed up and we did well taking the ball anyway ”, he concluded.
