Andoni Iraola, coach of Rayo Vallecano, He lamented the loss against Mallorca (0-2), acknowledged that the two mistakes that led to two separate goals changed the script and assured that this game “needs patience” and that in the moments of the second half there was none it’s them.
Rayo lost 0-2 to Mallorca, in a match where they conceded two goals, one in each half, after two defensive errors.
“We talked about what we were going to look for and we saw that scenario with them. They scored a goal with their mistake but we received well. I had hopes of getting the result back but the second goal, with a goal kick. was almost definitive. We have time left but we have not been able to find those spaces,” said Iraola in a press conference.
“In the second half, as well as in the first, we had the necessary patience, we didn’t have much. We wanted to find situations where we could penetrate, get ahead, but we didn’t have spaces and we lost the ball in bad situations. This is a fight that requires patience, in the first part we had it, but later it did not reach us or we were not successful. In the second, by wanting to contribute to that process, it has gotten worse ,” he admitted.
The match against Mallorca was the first start of the season for Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, who hardly posed any danger.
“In the game plan, we thought we would have situations with the lateral centers. They defend well, they are good at doing that and in the second half, where we thought it would be better with Camello, when we wanted to have patience, it got worse,” he said.
With this defeat, Rayo stopped their good run of results after drawing at Camp Nou with Barcelona and beating Espanyol as visitors.
“In the two previous games the approach was justified because we went to the Camp Nou and defending the results in our favor went well for us. Today we had more volume of everything but we were not successful,” he says.
“As far as the goal play the team was fine but the mistake cost us dearly and conditioned the rest of the game”, he concluded. EFE
