ANDRayo Vallecano coach, Andoni Iraola, praised the media for the 2-1 win against Elche So what places Madrid in Champions positions. In addition, he explained the reasons why Falcao did not play for a minute before the people of Elche.
Delusion: “We like people to get excited, but our feet on the ground are 16 points. The best thing is that there are 16 points that we already have added, against rivals surely from our own league, same fight. At Sadar we are left without option, but now we find the prize and looking at the calendar you say, thank goodness, because it will cost to add “.
Go back at home: “I loved the attitude of the team, last year we went back a lot. It is true that this season we have been a lot ahead but today, also against an opponent who fits little, because coming back was difficult. Attitude, insisting, playing well .. . we did it”.
The environment of Vallecas: “What am I going to say to you. A joy. The players who were more tight in strength, see those people in the stands, on top going from behind they squeeze you more … and that gives you life. It is wonderful to see like this the stands “.
Falcao, without minutes: “He came from a lot of hustle: three games, also the one in Pamplona … probably in another stage he would have entered. Going ahead we preferred to put Nteka in and then secure the back. We added all together, Mario for example … it came from not having minutes and they make it very difficult for you. Falcao is the first to be delighted by the victory “.
Nteka: “He always competes well, he is a different profile than Falcao and Sergi. He is giving us a lot. Today with 5 changes in the game many times the second parts are defining. And those on the bench add up to the same or more than those of the eleven” .
Mario Hernandez: “Balliu is giving a great level but Mario makes things difficult for me and in this way more. He has had a lot of attitude, a lot of personality. And also the goal because it adorns everything, is milk. A dream debut for him.”
Happy Iraola: “People, I don’t know, it still makes you live it in a different way. I’m not very excited but that’s how it’s different of course. Today was a fundamental victory and that’s why I’m more smiling than other days.”
Injuries and the goal debate: “I don’t think the injuries are a big thing, rather the lack of rhythm, muscularly it seems that it was coming. But I don’t think it’s anything to write home about. In goal? We have 3 top goalkeepers, ready, every week they play the position. Dimi is giving a great performance but also the others, and the defense in general “.
