Villarreal coach, Marcelino García Toral, He emphasized after winning 2-3 at the Betis stadium, which included a comeback, that “the reaction of the team in the second half should be praised” and also the effort they made to “get up after Thursday’s game”, as referring to the defeat in the Europa League in Marseille (4-0).
“The opponent’s two shots on goal were two goals, and we were hurt badly, but we showed ambition from the moment the ball was placed and we had the reward of recovering the balls,” said the Asturian coach after the match.
Marcelino emphasized, in any case, that it was “hard to accept” that Betis scored “two goals in two shots”, soand asserted the “pride” shown by his team having “got up after Thursday’s game.”
Asked about next Thursday’s rematch against Olympique de Marseilleat the Estadio de la Cerámica, the Villarreal coach wants to focus on the present, although he admits that this new success in LaLiga is a motivation for his team.
“We have to enjoy this victory, the third in a row (in the League), and gather courage for Thursday. We want, somehow, to give success to our people. We cannot say goodbye to the bad feeling of what happened on Thursday. To scare them is very difficult, but we have to win and if we say goodbye, let it be a victory,” said Marcelino.
