Hugo Mallo, captain of Celta de Vigo, said this Wednesday, after losing 1-0 against Getafe with a goal from Enes Ünal from the eleven meters, that the penalty scored by the Turkish player was a “small penalty”.
“Very tough defeat. You have to be aware that not everything is done. We had to compete differently here. They caught us in the first minutes. Penalty? For me, penalty at 1-0. And Getafe to defend everyone behind. And there it cost us a world,” he said in statements to Movistar +.
Mallo recalled that at Celta they knew what Getafe was and “beyond the style of Bordalás” and explained that even if they knew what they would see at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez they were unable to counter their rival.
“With a goal against in minute 1 in tow as a team like Getafe, who knows how to play their tricks, we have not been able. Merit of Getafe, who knows how to defend themselves,” he said.
“It’s a marathon. The League is very long, the matches are very complicated. Those at the bottom add up at the end and it costs us. We have to improve everything because not everything is done”, he concluded.
