Imanol finished the match with the feeling that “we have done what we wanted, to get to the quarterfinals and against the team that reached the final last year, which is very difficult to beat.” And here, like almost every response, he was vindictive and sarcastic: “This Real without a goal or a bite won 0-2,” he began by telling the story: “He said it. Jagoba. Out of 30 games, four were lost and in what ways. There are 31.”

The coach said he felt “sorry” for the criticism: “We don’t know what they make us happy.” And he emphasized the effort again made by his players, who “almost crawled off the field.” The player from Oriotar is very satisfied with his place in the quarterfinals and, awaiting tomorrow’s draw, “the only thing I ask is that this is our chance at home.”

The level we give in the three competitions is great. Now we used the injured players and the reserve team and I was left with the answer. With this attitude, we will be proud of the team and this team.

In her nursing review, she emphasized that Zubimendi He did not attend the call “because of his busyness” and he was happy with the performance of the Urko: “I was very pleased with his good work and with the ball he had moments of brilliance.” He maintains that it is “very difficult to replace”Zubimendi, take, Merino and braise because they are unique and no two are alike.”

He reported that he deleted Andre Silva because there was a gap, Urko because I couldn’t take it anymore Aritz and barren because they asked him to change due to ankle discomfort.

Imanol He didn’t want to comment too much on the referee’s performance, but he said that “the players have told me that he was right in all of them. Osasuna fans certainly don’t think the same.”
