ernesto valverde He was very satisfied with the level that his team offered in Pucela and above all for breaking the bad league after three defeats and a draw in the League. “It was a solvent victory. They started strongly, but we got further away as the match progressed. They caught us dangerously, but we also caught them. We got the game and more in the second half. This is a very important victory because of the negative streak we had despite the fact that we did a lot of things well. The ghosts need to be removed as soon as possible. I hope this win is good for us because we are starting in the decisive phase of the League,” he pointed out.
The rojiblanco coach wants to highlight the good work done in defense: “Defensively, we are a solvent team, I don’t say it for today but we were also the other day against Barça. We came from not accepting goal against Rayo. We are not a weak team in this aspect, we are a strong team and we all pushed together”.
Mikel Vesga He played a great match and the couple he formed Daniel Garciaso often criticized. “This season they have played difficult matches against great rivals. In some we won and for example on the day of Betis we drew. They give us solidity, work and deployment because Michael It reaches the end points well. I trusted them and they did very well”, he stated.
What pleased the coach the most was the ability to respond that the team had after the previous bad run. “Sometimes there are games marked by importance, some by the rival and others by the situation you are in. We are about to play the second leg of the semifinal of the Cup, because motivation is not needed, but when it comes to breaking the streak losing it requires more effort. It was very good today. It can be seen in the result. We did a lot of good things but we didn’t have a prize. We deserved this victory”, he added.
The team now takes a little breather in the league break next weekend before hosting Getafe in San Mamés on April 1, just three days before playing in the second leg against Osasuna. “All our rivals are in a similar situation. Everything is very compressed. No one ends up climbing. Now it is important to win to stay put in that place and for what is coming to us. Today we have important games against Getafe and Osasuna. We need a good feeling to face the Cup event well, but the League first,” he said.
