José Alberto regretted the bad day of his players in the match against Amorebieta at La Rosaleda (1-2). Málaga added their first defeat of the season at home in a very bad game.
Assessment of the meeting: “We have been very imprecise, very uncomfortable. We knew the game we were going to play, a game of duels, of second plays. His two goals come in situations of duel and continuity and we have not been lucky. It has cost us a lot to have rhythm. We knew that Amorebieta is a team that defends far from their goal, that they throw the line well ahead. Today we got absolutely nothing, neither did any VAR decision. They call the referee to whistle a penalty and realize that the play itself is offside. I do not want to apologize, but we could be playing three days in a row that today was not the day ”.
Defensive errors: “I don’t think that’s the problem. In this category to win games you need forcefulness and you need solidity and right now we are not having it. In Burgos they were other reasons, the team has tried everything ”.
Are errors behind or problems to score more worrying ?: “The reality is that since the start of the season we have been the team that finishes the most in the League and scores the fewest goals. We make good use of the goals we score. We are one of the teams that leaves the most gates to zero and one of the most thrashed. We have to improve, score more goals, I don’t know if more chances, but more goals for sure. The house is made by the base and the base is the defensive solidity. We cannot show that weakness that we show at certain times ”.
No change at rest: “I wanted to see how the team reacted. The result was very bad, but we weren’t too bad either. It is true that the goals come in two isolated actions. You get 0-2, but the team was trying, interpreting the game well and we wanted to see the reaction of the players when they came out of the break ”.
Worse sensations than in Burgos ?: “I do not know the perception you may have from the outside. From the inside I can assure you not. In the end I have some feelings, then when I watch the game at home I can have different ones. Today we have not been precise, we have not been with the spark and lucidity that we have had in other games. This game does not leave me at all the feeling I had after the game against Burgos ”.
Genaro joins the casualties for Eibar after his expulsion: “Most injuries are not injuries that are repeated in the same area or that may be from work you may be doing. I am concerned that I do not have many players in the squad available. Injuries, when they occur most, are in the months of November and March. Now we are at that moment, they have become important players and we all notice it ”.
Lawn condition: “I was saying it before. Today everything has come together and one of the things that has come together and I don’t want it to serve as an apology is that too. The lawn will improve. They are working on it for as long as possible so that it is in the best possible condition. But today we have also noticed it, that is the reality ”.
Dani Lorenzo and Antoñín changes: “The changes are made with an intention, thinking that they are the best for the team. We can think that they could have arrived earlier because Dani and Antoñín played well. Dani did it with a lot of personality. The changes have brought us, which is the important thing. The penalty is the result, that we have not scored a goal in a previous situation. Or that annulled goal, which would have given us room to press as we wanted. This is football, nobody thinks that we are going to win all the home games and that we are going to lose all the away games. Hopefully it changes now, especially outside the home. “
Disappointment in the fans: “I believe in the team a lot. We have to improve many things, it is evident. You have to be very self-critical to keep improving and progressing and we have a lot of room for improvement. We have a very young team and they have to give us a lot more. Tell the fans to continue believing, we are going to continue fighting to the fullest. Nothing has come of it, we are hurt, we are screwed, but we are going to get up, we are going to think about making the best possible match in Eibar to fight those three points and try to achieve that first victory away from home ”.
