Key opening goal
“In the first few minutes, it’s tough when the opponent scores at home and gains momentum. They gain confidence and can wait for a counterattack, which is what happened in the end. In a tough stadium, on a good pitch and against a good team, there’s no choice but to keep going.”
Small details
“Football is about details. If you don’t score, eventually they’ll score against you, especially against a strong team that can get a second goal at any moment. We knew it would be difficult, it became even harder almost from the first minute, but we kept pushing until the very end. We have to keep working so that the details that cost us points start going in our favour.”
La Rosaleda factor
“We have to keep going like we did against Dépor at home, and also try to score goals and go after the game when we play away. We tried, but it didn’t work out. There’s no other option, football is like that. We have to work calmly and steadily, and have confidence in ourselves.”
