Assessment of the meeting: “When an opponent is superior in all facets, they should be congratulated. Normally we are a very close team and I think that the action of the goal has made us desperate, but we should not look for any kind of excuse. In the first half they beat us the first play, the second play, they threatened the spaces… It is true that in the second half we adjusted, but we were in the game thanks to Dani Barrio. There is no other reading. It was a reward to go 0-1 at halftime, it was like that and we don't have to put hot packs on it. We lacked freshness in the second half. There is nothing to reproach. We are not machines and we do not have to look for any kind of excuse. We split a lot, there was a lot of distance between the forward and the midfielders and they received there and gave us time to think. The rival has had very clear actions. You have to get up and for me it is no drama. The drama would be if we were with 38 points. We have to learn. There is nothing to reproach the boys' work, we have tried more with heart than with idea. To try to recover and think that there are six finals left and add that victory that would give us the objective because it still remains and look ahead, there is no other option ”.
The defeat must not affect: “In the first half, I think the goal has been unsettling for us emotionally, but they have beaten us tactically, physically, positioning … They are a very powerful team on a physical level and they have won us the second balls, they between the lines They have been able to receive and turn around to be able to pass behind the back of the defensive line. Except for the Almeria game, we are one of those who finish us the least and today it was the opposite. The explanation is very clear, they have been superior to us, especially in the first half. Then we took off a striker and when we got three midfielders we generated a bit more uncertainty. It is clear that the rival team has deserved the three points. Clean and clean, we are at the limit in all circumstances. Yesterday Jozabed had a blow in the hand and we do not know if he will be until the end of the season. We have not achieved the goal, but we are people and this is football, when an opponent is superior we must congratulate him. Aho You have to think that we have two rivals at the top of the table, which is going to be a challenge for us. You have to go to the Espanyol field with the idea of achieving the three points, it will be difficult but not impossible. “
Low gasoline: “In the second lap we came with a good line. We are the third team that runs the most in the category, we are the one that makes the most high intensity efforts. It is true that we are fair, but who is not fair in the category. Today we have met a rival who has physical potential and we must not forget that this rival came paying for a player of ours, Mula. We are hungry. It is not done yet because the teams add up and the objective is to fight each point, add the maximum possible points in the six remaining finals and put the finishing touch on a tremendously complicated season that has a lot of merit. This team has always stepped forward. I ask for peace of mind, that the boys recover physically and mentally, and on Tuesday they will train as if there were no tomorrow. That has been and must continue to be the key until the end of the season. There are many objectives to meet and we have to be as high as possible because it is good for everyone ”.
Wardrobe condition: “The boys are sad, internally there is a lot of hope. We knew that winning today was going to mark our way a lot, especially to generate weeks of illusions. We still have to fight for many things, I transmit it to the fans. Today we wanted to continue fighting. for things that we thought seven or eight months ago were impossible. The team was enraged at half-time. We felt weighed down by the feeling that it was escaping us. We have to get up. For me it would be a problematic situation to have much fewer points and then we could be in alert, but I see that the group is going to rise. I am confident that we will recover mentally and recovering players, as in the case of Orlando Sá. Now everyone wants their share of leadership and everyone will have it if they continue training good and competing. There will be changes because we have to refresh the legs and minds of the players. Like Orlando Sá, other players are going to have their moment. The field is the one that will speak and we want them to speak and. With our performance, with the limitations we have, but no one is going to lower their arms. We are going to compete at the highest level with what we have, maximum confidence with all the players. “
Objectives for the remainder of the season: “Add up each game, stay as high as possible, the performance of the whole year with all the problems we have had … There is no greater motivation than to fight each game and get to where we go. Last year it was a drama. because they were tragic endings. Now we are going to play finals to compete, to get excited and to end a totally complicated season. It is repetitive, but we know we have problems. The goal of scoring every three points, with what wearing this shirt entails, wearing this shield and with this demanding hobby, we cannot relax. We have to finish the season, first seal the goal and look ahead. There is much left, this thinking that everything is already done does not go with these players, nor with the body technical or with the institution we represent “.
There was illusion to look higher: “Internally, all week there has been talk that getting a victory has many hopes, and more so with the result that there was yesterday (Sporting draw). We all want more, but this is football. In the first part it was not us. Our demerit, but also the rival's merit. There we were much superior and here they have been. The group was enraged because in that internal sense we looked much further. We have six games left and we still have challenges. There are two rivals who are at the top of the table. In the first round we couldn't score any points and now we want to make up for it and hit the table ”.
Caye's hand on the penalty: “I have not seen it, but talking about it against an opponent who has been so superior in the first half would not serve as an excuse. The work of the arbitration team is tremendously difficult and the rival has deserved to win, whether or not it is a penalty. What we have is to be self-critical, improve. Everything else scatters us. “
