Imanol Alguacil: “This is the time we played with you more than you”

It’s hard to see Imanol Alguacil happy after a loss, and maybe yesterday he wasn’t completely happy but he seemed proud of his team and how they played. “We played well but not enough because we want to win. Anyway, of the games we’ve played here, this is the most we’ve played against Madrid, even though we didn’t win,” said Imanol, summarizing his view.

La Real dominated the white team at times, which has a lot of merit for Oriotarra. “It’s not easy to get your hands on this Madrid team, you see they are 15 out of 15 and have a very high level. And I think we caught them once. “I am very happy to have played a great game against a great team, there was a lot of level in both teams.”

Imanol also repeated his most classic phrase. “If you don’t get it right…The game is a give and take, the game is about who gets it right, and unfortunately it’s them.” However, he stressed that the factual proposal is clear. “We have been clear, bold and we have done very well. The first part for the viewer should be very good. We have a clear idea, the players know what we want during the week and at the weekend. It doesn’t matter where we come from. If we have done something in these years, it is to be very consistent and balanced in every sense and now we have shown it again, but we will not always win or be exceptional. Sometimes we couldn’t continue the first half but we were comfortable in the game. The team has already proven that it can face teams like Madrid or Inter,” he commented.

Regarding Kubo, he emphasized his immense talent and quality, “with a lot of desire to improve and work” but warned that to become famous he must have a good partner. Regarding Barrenetxea, he said that “he has wonderful conditions” and “let’s see if this is the definitive year, he has no continuity and he has it.”
