José Gomes: “It is dangerous to think that we could have won if others had come out”

What would have happened if Almería had gone out with the starting team against Sevilla. It is the question that a large part of the red and white parish asks, which will never have an answer and which can last more than a lifetime. Nevertheless, The Almería coach did not want to delve too deeply into the matter. “Our fans have to be proud of what we are doing. There will always be someone who is not in favor of my decisions, that is natural, but I think we must all be happy for this course. We have not played against anyone, “argued José Gomes.

“It is dangerous to think that if other players had come out, we could have won. We have been good in defense, not conceding anything. If the game was opened more, other things could have happened. I do not divide my children between those that I like the most and those that I don't. I believe that we cannot divide the players between starters and substitutes in the League. Lazo has five goal passes in the League. I like to separate and some days I put some and other days to others. We have had, before the accumulation of matches, rotate the players “, continued the one from Matosinhos, who acknowledged in the press room that Julen Lopetegui put his entire arsenal on the field of play considering that Gomes himself would do the same.

Gomes regretted having conceded the Sevillian goal just when he was about to step forward. “I have mixed feelings. Just when I had already called Sadiq and Corpas, who were talking to my assistant for the set piece, just at that moment they have marked us. And that costs, because in my opinion we have not been well in the transition of the ball in the first half, but defensively I would say that we have been 100% correct“Said the local coach.” My players have been very good in the defensive organization, withdrawing the spaces from Sevilla with the ball and they have only generated danger in the strategy. They lacked space, my players have been very good. Y when I felt it was time to do more damage offensively, we conceded a goal“, he affirmed remarking his position.

“Julen has said many good things about our team and I told him that they, in my opinion, they were playing the best football in the league“He also said about his partner. The Portuguese coach pointed out that he threw more vertical fouls.” There are things that we have to improve in our play. There is still more to do, it gives more depth to our game. We are on that path, a team that has an identity. There are more successful games than others, but in general we are on the right track, “he said, for his part, about the rojiblanca identity.
