Ernesto Valverde acknowledged that the defeat complicates matters to achieve the goal in Europe. “We lost a very important game in which we had high hopes. They were good in the first half despite the fact that we had some arrivals. Betis planted the field well. We have pressed worse we haven’t- goal score. It has been repeated many times, we have not determined. This is what punishes us,” he said.
“We want to make merits to be higher. In the end you are in the position that suits you. In a season you are where you need to be because there are only five games left. There is still a margin. We have to try,” he added.
“Betis is well planted in the field. We find it difficult to go out. They are dangerous, they are good from midfield forward. This is what happened, we hoped that our arrivals would be enough to at least balance the game. We are hurt by the goal. We need to play safer. You cannot win the second game before the first. We were in a good position three days ago and now we’ve got one point out of nine. Now we retreat”, concluded the man from Gasteiz
