MADRID, 3 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Mallorca’s coach, Luis García Plaza, pointed out that his team deserved at least the draw and did not fall (0-1) against Barça this Sunday, after “45 minutes for each” one, but explained that his team must give more and tighten in the second round.
“The first half they have surpassed us, we have lacked a lot, aggressiveness, personality, really going, which this team has always had. In the second we have done it. We have equaled them and were able to draw, but we cannot play like the first “, he said at a press conference after matchday 19 of LaLiga Santander.
The coach of the Balearic Islands stressed that they did not take advantage of their improvement to achieve that tie. “It is decided in the areas and they deserved to win and we in the second draw, but they put it and we do not. We have deserved the draw with 45 minutes each,” he said.
“The idea was to be more intense and aggressive. 20 points are a number to save, now we have two defeats that the team could have given a little more. The balance is satisfactory but we have to give more and push harder,” he added.
On the other hand, Luis García referred to his complaint about the added time, after a final stretch in which Barça did not want it to be played. “I do not know how they add the times, I have discussed it with a referee and the coaches do not have a clear rule. I think they should have added more, nor do I think it is the key to the game,” he concluded.
