The verdiblanco coach analyzes the point achieved by his team in Elche
ANDl Betis scratch a point on your visit to the Martinez Valero. “The goal of the penalty cost us the injury of Borja Iglesias placeholder image and we had a very clear second option with Channels that finished off the game. In the last 15 minutes of the first half we got a little out of control and the Elche managed to score a tie. We took control again in the second half, we had chances, we didn’t do it and when you cannot win it is always good not to lose. We were attentive so that the Elche, in some lost play, we did not win the game. Adding is always good at a field where Sevilla lost and before a rival that lost to Madrid in the 94th minute.
The coup of Borja Iglesias
“He had a very ugly, deep cut, he could go on, he tried but he also hit his quadriceps with the stick, it was squeezed, he couldn’t run and he couldn’t continue.”
Two points less of advantage
“We continue in the fight with the other teams, waiting for what Real Sociedad does, we all like to play as a home and away but here it is not easy and as I say, everything that is adding is important.”
He was not satisfied with the draw
“We looked for the three points until the end, we had a very clear opportunity in the last minutes and we did it wrong, we were never satisfied with the draw and we played a large part of the game in the field of Elche. Juanmi’s opportunity shows that we tried to win the match from the first minute to the last “.
Lack of fluidity in the creation zone
“Elche closed very well, they did not leave space for their lines so we tried it with Joaquín on the right. They did well, they did not leave us more options and we tried it on the bands to unbalance”.
Three consecutive games at Benito Villamarín
“Strangely with the changes in matches we are going to play three at home against three difficult teams and it is important for us to continue depending on ourselves. The first thing will be to try to get the three points against Atlético and it is always better to play at home. We hope to continue in European places in those three home games. “
Do the stops affect?
“Not at all. I saw the team with the same mentality and work. There are games in which the creative players are more active and with greater precision, although Elche also closes well and it is difficult to score goals, but we had the necessary opportunities to to be able to win the game. “
