“We have not played a bad game”, defends Garitano

I was not kidding Garitano after the defeat of El Sadar. The rojiblanco coach did not elaborate too much on his explanations about what happened, beyond pointing out that if any of the two teams had deserved more, it was Athletic. But, again, the lack of punch condemned him, coupled with the failure of Cap in the final modesty by committing a totally unnecessary penalty.

The manager of the Bilbao team pointed out in a first analysis of the meeting with Osasuna that “in many moments it has been a close match, we both press hard and they also play a direct game. We have had good moments and we have not used them to score a goal. They have done very little, but with our mistakes they have taken the game ”.

Continuing with that line of the X-rays of the crash, Garitano He indicated that “we knew it was going to be a match with few chances, but the ones that have been have been ours. In First you have to score a goal. Receiving as little as we have received is a shame, today is a tough stick, his goal came from a failure. They have done little or nothing to us ”.

The Athletic coach commented that “the team has done a good job, but what counts is the result and we are not happy about that.” Asked if he had gone out to seek a draw against the Navarrese, the deriotarra replied that “in my life I have never gone out to draw. We have taken the initiative and we have gone out to pull up. I've never drawn since I've been at Athletic ”.

He was also questioned about the delay in making the changes. Saved the first of Villalibre by Williams, in minute 76, the rest came after conceding the goal. “They have been the same as the other day (Levante) when we won 2-0. And at the same time that Osasuna did them, “he replied to settle the matter. He did admit that lions are racking up matches with similar movies. “Can be. Osasuna has not been better than us, the one who has had it has put it and we have made twice as many shots. No clear chances, but enough to get more. But we have conceded that goal that has meant defeat, “he said.

On the atmosphere of the team, and taking into account that the next rival will be Sevilla, Garitano He stated that “today we are screwed, very upset. We had all our hopes for the game and we couldn't win. It was not a bad game, far from it, but we are upset and upset. It was not a match for that result, but football is like that and we have gone ”.
