Recio: “We played well, but on their first shot they scored, it's hard”

José Luis García del Pozo, Recio, is a guy who shows his face. With Leganés, when he speaks, he does so with sincerity. That is why he could not hide, after losing to Barça at the Camp Nou, his frustration at seeing how Barça, with just two blows, diluted the good image of the cucumbers in a complex duel in which they dreamed of getting at least one point after two good initial chances from Eraso and Guerrero. The Malaga player spoke after the match for Movistar LaLiga.

How do they leave the Camp Nou?

The feeling is bad. I think we have made a great match, a great effort. At first we had two good occasions. But before such a rival you cannot forgive. They were clear. And they, in the only shot on goal in the first half, score a goal for us. The team does not play badly. We work well, but we leave feeling bitter.

Does that make a dent? They've been like this all season …

Yes, many games have happened to us. We have a feeling of doing things well, but at the slightest failure they score a goal. I would have signed before the game that Barça would only have shot us once on goal in 45 minutes … but it turns out that when shooting it was a goal.

After this result, the duel on Friday in Mallorca takes on a more relevant dimension.

Mallorca is a final. It is a vital game already. It is true that we played finals all season because we have been downhill all season. But with nine games left and a direct rival, we have no choice but to go and win and get a good game

What happened to the mister? Why did they expel him?

I have no idea. The fourth was telling him to kick him out, to kick him out.
