The coach of the Elche, Francisco Rodriguez, affirmed after the victory against the Spanish at RCDE Stadium (1-2) that winning against the Blue and Whites gives the group “strength to keep working”.
Francisco He was very satisfied with the performance of his players. “It was a fantastic 20 minutes in the first half for us. We had planned what could happen and we knew that the Spanish it was a very strong team at home, “he commented.
In addition, the coach explained that the Elche he needed “commitment and defensive solidarity on the part of all”, in reference to the wear and tear in tasks of containment of footballers such as Pears Milla, author of the two goals of his team.
On the other hand, Francisco valued the penalty that was the only goal for the host, in the 45th minute of the first half: “That maximum penalty gets them into the game because we had the match under control. Penalties like that are many during the games because there is always contact in the area and I understand that there must be something else to whistle it. “
The coach did not want to argue despite the insistence of the questions. “I will continue to believe in everyone’s honesty, as I believe in that of my players and mine. We are happy because we have won, if we had not, we might have complained a little more,” added the coach.
