Óscar responds to De Lucas: “Other things surprise me …”

Do you accept the point because it takes Celta out of the relegation places?

We have to start looking at what we do well and not so much what we do wrong. Logically, we have things to improve, that is why we are where we are. There are teams that are below in the classification. You know that I would like to have started from scratch, but it could not be because of the issue that is affecting us all. We are working to continue improving the players individually and each time to be a better team. In the first half we weren't good with the ball, our best men in that sense weren't very fresh. After Carreira's goal we were superior and we did not deserve to lose.

Why didn't you make the changes first?

I am very happy with the young boys, they bring us a lot of freshness and energy, and for this Gabri has been the first change. Fontán and Carreira have also played and played very well. In the end, Carreira had problems with the twins and hence the change. The team I think was good. Santi was holding balls up, Renato was a little more fatigued but we thought that he could help us in the last minutes if there was an aerial game, Denis we believed that he could physically hold the whole game and Iago you know that at any moment he can decide the game for you.

Carreira is claiming a place in the first team.

We are very happy, it brings us a lot of freshness. He is very brave in attack. Personally I like him a lot, I hope he continues this progression and becomes established in the first team.

Why has Emre Mor been losing weight in his plans?

He has to recover his best level, the one he showed in preseason. The boy is training well and when he leaves he must play for the team. If he does that, we are going to win back a good player. We decide the team to hurt the opponent and we also think about the second parts. He has come out to warm up, but we have opted for the profile of Santi, who is the only center forward we have. With Brais we have sought a higher profile because it was difficult for us to come out playing from behind.

Quique De Lucas, Hugo Mallo's agent, has been “more than surprised” today in AS statements because you said yesterday that your client asked to leave during the summer. What do you think of that reaction?

I have no problem with Hugo, far from it. They ask me a question at the press conference and I answer. I did it politely and respectfully. I know that he is the captain of Celta, a player who is injured and that when he recovers he will also be available to help us. Other things surprise me.

Do you think Roger's offside in the disallowed goal is well marked?

Yes, it is offside. If Roger were not behind, our defense would not have tried to touch the ball and our goalkeeper would have stopped it.
