Possible sanction to Joao Félix: “I have not seen him yet. I have no doubt that he entered the game very well, which is what matters to me. The previous play reflects that he leaves the ball behind and is cautioned. I will keep that part that is the good one when he returns to field”.
Great forwards, two games without a win: “I would not look for excuses. It is football. It can happen. I trust the players and we will work so that the players score goals.”
Cards for protesting: “There are many yellows. You have to look for the sensitivity of the moment. I don’t think they are all yellow. You can speak with respect and education, to know what is happening.”
Joao action, what to learn: “The same thing happened to me, it was not in consequence with the game. I’m close to Joao and I don’t care about the episode. If the gesture is made by someone else, he will probably not be expelled”
Last action: “The play should have ended earlier, when he threw the ball back.”
Sensations: “I really liked the team. The changes responded well. From Paul, Lodi, Trippier … A shame Kondogbia’s blow. We were left with one less but the team looked for the game. These are the steps to follow in the face of what that is coming. We are facing an Athletic that is going to be the protagonist. The second half was very good up to Llorente’s stick. I am left with many positive things. The team’s speed increased. We went well back to a team that is good ” .
He asked the referee for reassurance: “Gil Manzano told me that I could not tell him to be calm when he was. He is a great referee, he has had very good performances. The sensitivity depending on the day generates different sensations.”
