They add an important victory in the League.
We came from a hard blow, difficult because there were only a few days to prepare for this match against a very tough, strong team that knows what they are playing and arrives in the area with people. We started very well beyond the goal, a good step and Marcos in the middle gives us what we all know. A great match from Vrsaljko allowed us to exploit all the good characteristics of Marcos in that space forward. João and Suárez did a great job for the team to be together, Herrera had a great game, Koke grew a lot and everyone, Giménez, Savic, Reinildo defensively, Carrasco… we were very regular and balanced. And what you see, the hunger to win. Luck also influences, the post of the first half could be the goal that weakened us and in the second half two great goals came, Suárez’s with a fantastic pass from João and Correa’s and the forcefulness that this game has.
It serves to recover from the last defeat.
The blow the other day hurt us. There was a very good response in a few days. People who hadn’t been playing entered and did very well and those who entered did so as the match requested. Felipe had a fantastic second half and we need everyone very well, we entered a space where there is no time for anything.
They left the first clean sheet away from home.
We had been suffering in these situations for a while where before we always felt stronger. We returned to generate defensive security and the team has talent, goal, we were able to take advantage of the forcefulness of João, Suárez and Correa and that allowed us to win the game on a very tough field.
How did you see Manu Sánchez? Does the signing of Reinildo harm you?
No. Reinildo is a moment of what the team needed in that position to strengthen us, there was only Lodi and Mario who is not a winger. Manu is doing very well, he grows day by day, the coach is leading him brilliantly with a very good associative game in the sector that he does very well and that is very good for him, for Osasuna and hopefully for us in the future .
It gives them energy for Manchester United.
Everything influences, everything helps, every year is not the same and life, like football, puts us obstacles and tests us. This year in football we are living with this situation and we will see if we are able to finish well.

Assessment. “Great job everyone. The team had a huge commitment to the match and was lucky enough to find the goal quickly. Osasuna is a complex rival, they fill the area with people. We were lucky in the suit that could have been 1-1. Then the forcefulness on the counter gave us the match in a very difficult field”.
The team recovers. “Calm down, we need to continue growing as a team. The effort was very good. Herrera did not see playing and he played a fantastic game. Llorente in the middle gives us a different step that no other midfielder has. The team was very good. João, Luis and Correa scored and it generates enthusiasm for us”.
Three centre-backs for United? “We do not know. Now to rest. We come from some tough games. We have a few days to prepare for the next match and we will do it with a lot of responsibility”.
