ernesto valverde He appreciated the point added against Osasuna, but stressed that his team did everything to win. “We tried to win from the first minute to the last. We had options and we were not successful. They didn’t build much and managed to take the three points at the end (the chance of manu sanchez), but we played to win. We need to be fine on the last pass to have clear options. They did a good defensive job, they were solid. Our intention is to go up to win”, said the Athletic coach.
“Not angry or frustrated or disappointed.” Valverde is clear about his state of mind after Osasuna went unbeaten despite having more chances: “When you don’t win at home, you always think you didn’t do something right. The game was good. In the second half, they were stronger. Overall, we did everything to win. At the last moment, it is true that at the last moment we lack peace of mind. You have to clear your mind at the last moment to fix it. In football the most difficult thing is to score goals. But the important thing is that we get to the end of the games and have the feeling that we created opportunities to score goals. Now we had a chance to win”.
Txnugurri highlighted his team’s best moment. despite the point added in the derby leaving him in seventh position. On Saturday they play another match of the highest rivalry against Real in Anoeta. “We used to be good, it’s fine. We played three games between the League and the Cup (Betis, Eldense and Osasuna). We left with a good feeling. The team is strong, does not lose face in battles. It is true that we are missing something, but we will find it”, the Gasteiz native stated.
