Marcelino He has been very satisfied with the work done by his players today against Real Madrid. “I can only praise the attitude of the footballers. We made our rival suffer a lot, who is in the fight for the title. We faced the game well, we were solid, committed, wanting the ball, but we missed the last pass. In the final stage we had two chances to draw and also before 1-0. It's a shame that they scored that goal from a set piece, the other opportunity was also a shot from Casemiro in a corner. The team defended well, we had good starts in attack, but the last pass to define better is a shame, ”said the Spaniard in the San Mamés press room. “We did deserve to not lose, but once again a small detail penalizes us excessively.”
Athletic has played its last game of the season in San Mamés. The coach has said that it is difficult to put a mark on his team in these four months, “but it cannot be high because we missed many points. “We have added many draws and we could not realize the advantages. In this season without an audience, without an atmosphere in the stands, everything becomes more difficult. Everything we developed on the pitch with an audience on the pitch would have helped us win games that we didn't. But then if you do not specify it is worth nothing. We were not successful, it is clear that to be in the upper area you have to be more efficient ”, he explained.
Marcelino He has also referred to the expulsion of Raul
Garcia. Mateu
Lahoz He has shown the direct red for addressing one of his assistants “looking him in the face” with the following term: “Your fucking mother already”, as the Valencian referee has written in the minutes. “I have been with Raul, and that expression I have never heard. I'm sure he didn't say it. Surely there has been a misunderstanding ”, has affirmed.
TO Marcelino They have also asked him about the possible hand of Black pudding that the referee has not considered a penalty. “I don't understand when it is hand or not hand. I would like to understand it, the majority of coaches and players do not know when it is a hand or not, there is no clear idea, it would be very positive if we knew when it was an offense or not ”, said the Athletic coach.
