Imanol he has not put hot cloths on Real's draw against Betis and has made it clear that “giving away those ten minutes does not speak well of us as a team.” The Oriotarra coach “had not entered the dressing room so pissed off for a long time, with myself and with the players” and he has not attributed the final collapse of the Real to the changes in the absence of a quarter of an hour to go. “We have made the changes to become stronger but we have already seen that it has not been like that, we have already seen what has happened.” For Imanol, “After seeing” it is easy to make that reading but “Merino had a yellow one, Isak and Oyarzabal they were tired and the players who have entered, Zubimendi, Barrenetxea or Januzajthey have been playing games important at a high level ”.
For the Real coach, self-criticism does not go through the bench movements but through the overall behavior. “If we want to be great, if we want to do something great, it is not enough to do 80 good minutes, we have to do 90 or 95.” And it is that Bailiff, “very angry and wanting to apologize” can not miss “such a game, against a rival who was dead. But when you leave a team alive they can get into the game in an isolated play as it has been.
For Imanol the draw that is “like a defeat and painful” should influence the Cup match, but for the better. “We have done many things well and we have to go to Seville with this anger to turn this situation around. We are young and nobody takes away our illusion but also anger, this cannot happen again ”.
