The number ’7’ considers the point “doesn’t feel like much as we managed to take the lead in a very tough game,” even though “at the end of the 90 minutes we have to know how to assess the last two games, in which we conceded a lot of goals.”

Paulino believes that “we suffered somewhat with the lateral crosses, but we were solid. We must continue working hard with the arrival of the new coach and carry on like this for next week’s match at La Rosaleda in front of our fans.”

Regarding the Cufré foul that led to the locals scoring the penalty, he said “I didn’t see it, but they told me it was a bit harsh. You shouldn’t get involved in this type of decision, as one day they go in your favour and on other days they don’t. We do our job and the referees do theirs, and we must respect that,” he said. “We have to value this point, which is very important for us, seek a positive dynamic and return to winning ways on Saturday,” he stated.

“Following two away games, I always say this division is very tough to play, yet with our fans we are better. They are player number 12 for us. I’m certain they’ll support us all the way as always, against a great rival, and we’ll try to give them a good win,” he said about next week’s Málaga-Almería clash.
