Match analysis

“I leave with the sensation that the team continues to improve. We played against a competitive rival, but we had our opportunities, scored an away goal and I’m happy with the sacrifice shown by the team”.

Referee errors

“Real Madrid scored an offside goal against us, Osasuna scored an offside goal against us, and today we suffered a penalty that didn’t exist. Looking at the images, there was a clear foul against Charles, with Trigueros hanging on to his arm, and the ref was in a good position to signal it…On top of this we were given two cards that conditioned the remainder of the game. We’re playing such a lot, we’re not here to walk around the pitch, and the same respect shown to the big teams must also be shown to other teams”.

Deserving

“Our anger is fully warranted, as this wasn’t a match that should have escaped from us like that. It was a great game for both sides. I don’t like to complain as I don’t think that’s the solution, but we’ve had three games conditioned by goals or penalties that shouldn’t have been. Earning points in this way becomes more difficult, when everything is an uphill struggle. The team deserved to win, they deserved more”.

Message to the fans

“The fans should continue to believe in the team, which they’re doing more and more. They proved it against Espanyol, and were behind us until the end. The fans really give the team a boost, so we must focus on the positives – both the supporters and the team – stick together and remain calm, as we will get out of this situation. The only thing I ask is they don’t take anything away or give me anything, as the match could have gone either way for either side”.
