Marcelino: “We clearly deserved more than four goals”

“It wouldn’t have been a miracle but a job well done”

MADRID, 14 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Villarreal coach, Marcelino García Toral, recognized the great “sorrow” of the entire club after being on the verge of a comeback against Olympique de Marseille and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Europa League, which they “clearly” deserved. .

“I am proud of the players and grateful. We experienced a beautiful spectacle, with a not fair outcome, in the sum of the two games. We had a very bad day in Marseille but Marseille made four scoring chances. We made 18 today. It is It’s a shame, the work, the game, was extraordinary. We believed we had options and these players have shown that it was real,” he said.

The ‘Submarino’ coach insisted at the La Cerámica press conference that his team deserved much more than the 3-1 with which the match ended. “We deserved more than the rival. The word ‘miracle’ downplays the importance of work. In football there are few miracles and a lot of work. There has been a total team that has overwhelmed another team. I think we clearly deserved more than four goals and to pass this tie,” he said.

“From 3-0 to 4-0 we had three. In the first half, it was not fair that we only went 1-0. We had chances of all colors. Marseille’s best player by far was their goalkeeper. In the “There is that component of luck in football, but in no case would passing today have been a miracle, it would have been a job well done and well deserved. We played a great game, I loved it, it’s a shame not to be in the next round,” he added.

On the other hand, Marcelino regretted the “Marseille slip” but highlighted the good dynamics of the team. “I would have liked to see the field full today, this season we are a little indebted to them. With these shows we will be able to unite forces more,” he said, already thinking about the duel against Valencia.
