The ‘Malaguista’ coach believes overcoming adversity during the match was decisive in his team’s victory: “We were determined to win this home game by any means necessary.  It was also a well-deserved victory in what was a very difficult match.  It was tough for us to find the goal, and the referee made several decisions in favour of the rival with worrying ease.  Despite everything we maintained our control, and I’m extremely pleased with the result as we really deserved this win,” exclaims Schuster.
 
“It was a crazy, tough game to overcome, which is often the case against teams like Betis.  The reason I’m so happy with the result is because we overcame every difficulty and still won the match,” affirms Schuster.
 
Despite keeping the crucial three points at home, the German-born coach states the team has a lot of hard work ahead to keep improving: “We always select the best line-up we can for every match.  We played well in Barcelona, which is why I didn’t want to change the formation.  I was certain that Samu and Juanmi were going to get an opportunity tonight and they supported the team well.  However there’s still a lot of work to be done, and it’s going to be a long road ahead.”
