MADRID, 10 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Rayo Vallecano coach, Andoni Iraola, lamented the “mistakes” they made this Sunday against an Atlético de Madrid that did not forgive, with “too much advantage”, in the 1-2 draw in Vallecas.
“I am leaving with the feeling that we have made mistakes, against an elite rival. Even if you do many things well later, they normally cost you three points,” he said at a press conference.
The Basque coach explained these failures in the two visitors’ goals, while assessing the expulsion of Lejeune half an hour from the end. “The offensive set pieces we are having good numbers, behind us it costs us more. The first goal there are more errors of concept. It has hurt us, we have conceded the second. Atlético has the game very much in favor. We have continued to press even with 10 but it is too much advantage that we have given him”, he pointed out.
“The expulsion will have been seen by the VAR and it will have decided red. The reflection that I make is that the referee of the match is already the one of the VAR. The referee sees the action, he had doubts because he has seen many repetitions. In the end he will have thought that he They have called from the VAR and he has already had doubts,” he added.
“It is very difficult for us to win games, we are missing the victory that gives us momentum. We continue to do many things well. Today we lose in very specific plays. It was going to be an uncomfortable game for the striker. We thought that Raúl was going to give us that option of putting ourselves ahead. When we made the changes we were left with 10. If you concede two goals against Atlético you know you’re going to have a very difficult time”, he concluded.
