“In the second half we started with a chance from Iago Aspas, another for 2-2, another from Fran Beltrán to tie it and then they did the third for us and ended up playing more calmly. It’s a team with a lot of quality”, Coudet added to the media.
“At 1-4 it’s difficult but it’s a rival of another hierarchy, of another level compared to us,” said the Celta coach, who was asked about the task of replacing Denis Suárez. “Regarding Denis Suarez, I want to send a greeting to the mother who had suffered an inconvenience, and then I analyze the game and I don’t talk about the players we don’t have,” he said.

“We try to speed up processes and do everything as well as possible, but playing this way against more than one rival we will get results. The team did well, in the first half they played a great game but against such an opponent it is very difficult. the first approach, a penalty against and the first time they kicked, a goal. It seems to me that they all ended in goals except for one that Marche covered,” he summarized.
“We have created chances, we had volume of play and we made them feel uncomfortable for a long time, but we had to have punished them, have spaces and so with everything it is a team that is capable of turning around any result,” said the Argentine.
“There is a very big difference in level and we are aware of our limitations. We need time to work, it is not an excuse but we do need that time because the team has looked very good and now we have to continue growing,” Coudet asked.
