The captain of Pontevedra, Álex Gonzálezattributed his team’s defeat to “small details” Getafe (0-1), in a match of King’s Cup where, in his opinion, they deserve “more” for the opportunities they have.
“We’ve all had dreams and hopes of advancing to the next round, but now that we’ve cooled off we’re fair enough to appreciate what this team has done because playing in the round of 16 of the Cup is a big thing. Although we are saddened by not passing, it is a day to be proud of,” he said.
In a press conference, the Cantabrian footballer acknowledged that Álvaro González’s early goal paved the way for Getafe to win because “they were strong and comfortable in that defensive game, “They are players with very high defensive talent, very supportive with all the help.”
“In the end they were defending in two lines, practically five and four, and that’s very complicated because they are very physically strong. It is very important to see what they are going through until the end, “We have surrendered them but we haven’t scored yet,” he indicated.
In this sense, he emphasized that the constant delay in the second half did not help his team either: “They have a very marked style of play.when they’re not interested in playing too much, they know how to do it well.”
