Three more points, and time to keep working
“Every match that ends is not the end of anything. The entire second half of the season is still ahead. It’s the start of something, and that’s how we have to approach it. The euphoria has to be kept in check. There’s still a long way to go in the league, so we can’t get carried away. We’re happy because we played a good match.”
A very tough opponent
“It was a balanced match, that’s Burgos for you. Our main goal was to score. In the first half, we had seven shots on target. We knew there would be moments where we’d have to suffer, but I’m happy because I think we had more possession than them. That’s very important. They played a good game, and in the second half they created chances because they are a very good team.”
Victory against a great team
“You see 3-0 and think it was an easy game… No, Burgos are a great team and made it very tough. The goals come from consistency, and moments of brilliance appear because of what the team creates. These things have to give us more energy. Now it’s time to keep going.”
Puga renews until 2029
“This is great news about Puga. He already said that if he moves house, it will be in the same neighbourhood. He’s at a sensational level, we have Puga for a long time, and it’s good news for both sides. Now it’s time to enjoy it.”
A fantastic run
“I don’t know if it’s the key to success, but there are three things they have to maintain. First, effort. People are recognised in moments of difficulty. This will be important, because setbacks will happen, and defeats are part of the process, this is when we mustn’t stop. The second part is talent. Things happen because they are good. These are players who, with the ball, operate at a very high level. The risk would be not playing through them. And the third part, the hardest to sustain over time, football is complex because 11 start each game, we have 28 players, and it’s a very unforgiving sport. In other sports, almost every team member can participate a lot. We have to bring every player to their best version. It’s not easy, without the reward on Sunday, to maintain that over time. Hopefully, everyone will find their moment, because it will be a differentiating factor in everything that happens to us.”
Great defensive work
“The defensive aspect was very important. We also won the head-to-head average against Burgos, and we wanted to keep that goal clean. This is already the second time, we’re on a good path, and for a team like ours, which plays with a lot of physical effort, it’s great news.”
