Impeccable header
“We’ve been working a lot on set pieces. We knew it could be a weakness of theirs. Quite a positive result for us. Now comes the return leg.”
Good teamwork
“The team did a good job. We followed the plan we’ve been working on and, despite conceding the goal, I think the team recovered well. We tried to clear our minds during the break and continue focusing on what we were doing, correcting those mistakes from the first half, which we saw in the second half.”
Everyone contributes on the team
“We are twenty-something teammates, and we all contribute. One leaves and another enters, the team has to try to destabilise itself as little as possible. This belongs to everyone and will be for everyone. “We all have to do our bit.”
Return leg at La Rosaleda
“We can’t wait. Next week when they come to La Rosaleda they’ll find 30,000 people, we’ll be playing with 12.”
Good job against a good rival
“We've been saying it all week. They are a pretty powerful team, with talented players and they combined quite well in the last third of the field. We did a good job despite the two goals conceded.”
