Party rating. “The race of the players is proven and comes from before. The protagonists are them. We are not going to look for any excuse, we are going to compete with the players we have. People have to be proud of the dedication and the solid team. Third game with a clean sheet, one more point. The players are all busted. Very proud, the true protagonists are them. The trainer that looks is absolutely useless ”.
Complicated startor. “Rayo is made to accumulate a lot of people in the attacking zone, and that is why we missed that first pass in the intermediate zone to make transitions. But then, in the second part we made a second part of a very solid team, which knew what was at stake. Rayo Vallecano is a team that offensively is one of the best in the category. It is the fourth game that does not score a goal, it means a lot. We have had moments, each one has had their own. We have been playing on the opposite field in the second half, we have been close. There the party would have changed. The one that went ahead had a lot of cattle. We had a plan to be balanced, together, take advantage of opportunities and try to have long possessions. ”
Change in the second part. “When Juanpi has left, we have lacked finding him to give him continuity. But it was as we had prepared it. We were going for victory, but you have to be fair. They have had more shots, but only two on target. We have maintained order and that is a merit for the players, of staying focused. We are a little closer, but very cautious. There is a lot left. “
A point that can be gold. “We are a little more, there are fewer games left. We would like to be a little higher, but this competition is a crusher. It costs a lot to win a lot of teams. Many penalties, many individual errors. Finding a match like this, in the situation we were in, against a rival who was at a very high level … is worth praising. We have to look at that side, we are very demanding and we want more. Now we think about the next game. What worries me the most is the recovery of the players, recovering to the maximum. Until the last minute we did not know which team we were going to put. Let's see if next week we can be a little more relaxed“
Commitmentsor. “The team has been committed in every game. The numbers in these 15 games are not to be suffering, but they are situations in which people are adding up. The team, said the rival coach, is one of the teams that we run the most. They are pure and hard data. There is a commitment. The tree does not have to prevent us from seeing the forest, our analysis is very balanced. A lot of prudence and a lot of humility, you have to endorse the point with a victory on Sunday because it would be a very important step ”.
