MADRID, 19 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cádiz coach, Álvaro Cervera, explained that his team must be convinced that defending like this Sunday against Real Madrid they have more options to save the category this season, adding as they did at the Santiago Bernabéu with 0-0.
“This is one more point in a place where tying at zero is very difficult due to the quality of the opponent. Today we have done what we do best, which is to defend, get together a lot, be very supportive. We have done well, it is true that We have done almost nothing with the ball, but we have had a chance and we have a point, “he said at a press conference after matchday 18 of LaLiga Santander.
The Andalusian coach pointed out that adding at the Bernabéu has to be valid to reinforce the defensive identity that he asks of his Cádiz. “It is very important to me that a game like this is endorsed with a point. It’s complicated if in the end you don’t get anything. It has been shown once again that we are a better team like this, that when with the ball we create more problems than benefits. “, He said.
“I do not know if it is an art, because defending is destroying and destroying is never an art, but it is a way of scoring points and we are here to save ourselves. The last two games that we have had more possession have scored at least two goals. , It is the reality. When we run more than the opposite, we defend well, sometimes we score points. When we play something other than the coach does not manage or does not train that, it does not go well for us. It is ugly but we have to save the team “, added.
Cervera acknowledged that they had studied Vinicius well. “He couldn’t have both starts, we gave him the one in the background. We had talked about Vinicius a lot and studied it a lot. Other teams can be defended 15 meters ahead, not like today against Madrid. The difficult thing is to convince the team. people that it is the only way. When we play like this and they beat us 1-0 they are going to give us birth but we will get better results than otherwise, “he concluded.
“At the time that it has been I have approached the linesman and he told me that they were reviewing it, but that it was down and it was not red. At no time have I thought that the game was conditioned by that play,” he added about a possible red to Casemiro.
