Ernesto Valverde showed himself to be upset by the defeat against Real Madrid, but at the same time convinced that this is the line to follow. His team tightened the white team, but decided the best quality and hit those of Ancelotti. “It is true that it is the feeling of other times of having chances without winning. We know that we have to dominate and have good waves to convert the chances. They have a very high rate of effectiveness. That’s how Madrid are , unforgiving. They scored our first goal when we were good, we suffered the blow and we struggled to recover. We were close to equalizing in the second half but we came second. If you watch the game, you don’t think it’s 0 -2, but that’s the truth”, stated the coach.
The man from Gasteiz does not want to say that the best thing is a draw: “We went to win from the first whistle. Regrets are not worth it, in football it is about creating and scoring chances .They already have and we have to move on”.
The man from Gasteiz added that they need to insist on the things they do well. “The team is on the same line as before the break. It is true that we have gone four games without a win and the points will not come back. We have to continue insisting on this line and be more successful. At the level of the results there is no we are in a good moment but the team is always close to winning. We just didn’t reach it,” he said.
“They are strong at the back, very focused and in individual duels they are very strong players. Anyway, we scored, but at the last moment we lacked the instinct or composure to get a good goal situation. This can be achieved over time. We’re not obsessed with it,” he said.
His team added just 10 points from the last 33 in the game. “We haven’t won the last four games. We came from the Cup match we won, but in the League we didn’t win and we need points, we won’t fool ourselves. We’re a team that scores goals, but in these four games we haven’t scored goals for everything we’ve done. We are here to win, now not, we have to continue on this path to win”.
