“I don’t understand those who doubted the team”

Imanol Alguacil, a few minutes after achieving a historic victory against PSV, remembered the “fans of Aitor Zabaleta, who deserved such a night” and if the victory came against the Dutch it was because “the work prepared has gone almost 100 % thanks to the enormous effort of the players ”. The Orio coach qualified his plan with the entry of Zubeldia as a midfielder because “he was going to give us a lot on the offensive and defensive level” and he chose that line-up because “it was the best to win although I see them train every day and anyone could have play”. The Real coach was happy although “he would have been just as proud if we had lost playing like this” and pointed out that “we have shown that we can be competitive against an opponent like this” so that in the round of sixteen he did not show any preference. by one rival or another, although he knows that he will be a “tremendous” rival.

La Real also changed their game plan by playing more withdrawn, waiting for the rival, and according to the Sheriff it was because “we were not interested in the game breaking down, that there were spaces behind us. I knew that we would hurt them with ball and understood that it was not a game to go squeeze. I understood that the best together, retracted because with the ball we were going to hurt them “, explained the coach who added that later” we have to get it right in the areas, in the details, and there we have been quite fine. “

Imanol did not want to give the victory a vindictive look due to what happened against Manchester last season since as he has said more than once that “is history” and not because they needed to prove anything after not having won the last games. “I do not understand those who had doubts about the team. We cannot expect Real to win every game and always play well, “said Orio, who added that” we ended up with nine homegrown players playing against PSV. If we do not value what the team does, I am missing something, “said the coach, who added that although his players should be asked for” the maximum in terms of ambition, “he clarified that the” maximum cannot always win ”.
