Daniel del Pino Ortega, assistant technician Elche, has valued the game of the people from Elche on the DAZN microphones after being eliminated after losing to the Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.

Elimination: “It’s fucked up because we’ve been very close to him. Madrid has brought out their players who are unbalanced and in a couple of imbalances, preceded by fatigue, they’ve made them take him away.”

close to qualifying: “Seeing ourselves very close to passing the round made us get behind, despite having one more player. It is very difficult to manage that type of emotion. We should have had the ball a little more and rested with the ball. must”

Fidel disallowed goal: “They tell me it’s a foul, and if there’s an offside, everything is annulled and there’s nothing to say.”

sensations: “We can be close to getting a positive result competing like this”.

After the game, Ortega appeared at a telematic press conference.

Proud: “We’ve told the players that they should feel proud of the work they’ve done because we’ve been very close to eliminating Real Madrid. Only due to misalignments, the result of fatigue, the tie has gone.”

Disallowed goal: “During the protests in the center of the field, I went to take the players away and asked the referee why he had disallowed the goal. He told me that it was offside. So, nothing more can be said. Little can be protested “.

Failed to maintain the rent: “You have to take into account many aspects; the physical has been fundamental. It is not the same when you are getting tired as when you are not. We should have rested with the ball after Marcelo was sent off. That blur cannot cover the good job that the players have done players for 120 minutes.

Arbitration decisions against Elche: “The anger lasts two days. At the end of the season everything will be balanced in the balance; in some game it will touch us on our side, I hope. There are games with key plays that have fallen against us. They are controversial actions that I hope they can fall from our side”.

Physical waste: “Very happy with the work of the players on a day-to-day basis. There is a feeling of unity and solidarity from minute 0 that the coach wanted to put in Elche. The good atmosphere is reflected in the good actions of joy, but also when we are screwed. That allows us to continue growing to achieve salvation. Everything starts from humility, work and solidarity from the minute we arrived”.

injured: “You have to talk to the doctors to make an assessment to see those who can make it to Sunday. You have to squeeze the doubtful people. A last effort must be made. We trust that there are people who can recover, that is the priority. There are very annoyed players tonight and we want to get people back to be competitive.”

John: “The game he played was spectacular. It’s not easy to start against Real Madrid, in front of 25,000 people. It’s not easy to manage that. Every day he told us that, that he could play. He has versatility and has shown that he can be in a template”.

Atmosphere: “He has supported from minute 1. That has been observed since we arrived here. It has been an atmosphere worth seeing. I can say it first-hand: in each action and each duel they have been one more. Just thank you on our part”.
