The Blue and White coach spoke to the media after the LaLiga SmartBank matchday 15 fixture, in which his team lost 3-1 against FC Cartagena. However, José Alberto doesn’t think the result reflects how even the match was at Cartagonova. “In terms of gameplay, I think it was a very balanced match. The game was very even, but we can’t concede three goals from set pieces,” he affirmed.

When asked about the opportunities for both teams seen during the match. The Asturian coach stresses the equality of the game in this aspect. “Cartagena didn’t create many chances either. It was tough for us to generate finishing opportunities, as it was for them too. The match was very even, it didn’t warrant a 3-1 result. That’s football, however,” he said.

Regarding the team’s performance away from La Rosaleda, José Alberto said: “We’ve played good games, but only points and competing are what counts. We can’t concede so many goals away from home, we need to improve a lot. At home we’re a very reliable team, yet we’re conceding too many goals in away games.”
