Marcellin’s feelings
“I don’t know Marcelino’s feelings. He has been in Valencia and has been successful in Valencia. I didn’t have a preference for a rival. Anyone could touch us. Athletic is a historic team”.
Goal
“I can’t say. It will be the player who will know. Cillessen may be missing a bit. I’ve already decided, but I won’t make it public.”
New format away goals
“We accept it. We know that the rules change. We don’t give it much importance. We have to get a good result. Many times you make the mistake of thinking that you have the advantage of playing the second game at home. There are times when it’s too late for the second We have to go with a winning mentality and without thinking about the second leg”.
