“I have spoken with the referee who sent me off and I have apologized”

Quique Sánchez Flores, coach of the Getafe, has explained in the press conference on Thursday that the expulsion he suffered three days ago against Athletic Club and that has meant two games of sanction is already past water. “I have spoken with the referee who sent me off and I have apologized. For me it is past water and we have already turned the page,” he said.

Of course, he admitted that “I live the games as one more player and for me it is difficult not to be on the bench. I will live it from the frustration of not being able to be there.” On the other hand, from this Saturday’s game against the Alaves in Vitoria, he indicated that “all the games are equally important to us without differentiating the rival” and that “we have played at the home of teams that cannot afford to lose and that will be until the end.”

Of the complicated game that awaits them, he said: “We are going with the mentality of going to a hostile scenario even due to the weather.” Quique also stated that Yankee, who reappeared precisely against Athletic after two and a half months out, said that “he is not 100% but he is totally committed to the team.”
