Was the Real society in San Mamés? “I don't think so,” he replied. Gaizka Garitano in the press room. In what he did observe the Donostiarras best was in the protection of their income: “The first goal has conditioned them favorably because they have gone back and defended very well. They have come out on the counterattack, we have canceled their game, but it has cost us despite having the ball because they have gone back and defended very well ”.
After not kicking against him Celtic and take only three shots in front of him Huesca, focused on the final minutes, the Athletic ran dry again in the derby. “Against closed defenses, all teams have problems,” explained the coach. The Real “He has defended the area well” and it has been difficult for the lions “to put centers or get to clear chances.” They did not go beyond almost: “We have had some close, but we have not shot on goal because they have defended us well. We have lacked, in those meters, to have a little more lucidity to move the ball, make a cross or a filtered pass because we have been attacking for a long time, but without creating clear chances ”.
Bilbao residents get stuck, something that is becoming a tradition. Garitano nor does he consider that his ills originate in the engine room: “In creation we are putting the players who technically best serve the ball, who are Mikel (Vesga) and Unai (Victor) “. In this way, he is not having “so many problems” Athletic. “We are having them in the last third of the field. That's where football is decided, where individual plays, a wall, a shot come out … that's where we have the most problems, ”explained the coach.
They tend to be moments of exercise evaluation, however Garitano was not for too many explanations after the defeat against the Real: “That is what you value, after losing the derby, making evaluations … We have to think about the match of the Elche and physically recover people ”.
Nor did the coach respond when he was asked if he was going to start talking about his future again. His only objective is to “prepare the game well” against the people of Elche “to try to win it.” He Athletic She has been living a constant 'déjà vu' for weeks. Correct match, blow and finish with the feeling that Garitano the position is played. “We have played against a good team, it was an even game. They have found the goal, then we have tried to dominate and it has been wanting and not being able to. If I have to take responsibility, I take responsibility for the defeat, as I have always done ”, concluded the coach of Drift.
