It has been a match of many matches in one…
Satisfied? Well… if you ask me in the 80’s I would have said yes. If you ask me in the 90 ‘, I tell you no. The result tells us what the game has been. We expected an even duel. Mirandés is in a good moment. He raises these matches for you. He’s coming to take the ball from you. He has gone to hold us high. There have been two different parts… or three. We have started well. And the goal has made us horrible. We have begun to save what… and we have been contemplative for the rest of the first part.
Roberto del Mirandés’ draw did justice to the first half. Without suffering great chances we were not being able to get out of our field. We were very far from the pressure zone. Then it is true that in the second leg we have not started badly. We have taken a step forward. The goal has hurt us… but little. The end of the game, since his goal, has been ours.
A good football game. The penalty of not being able to win at home, but we still haven’t lost. The other day we were left with the little thing of not winning at Villarreal. Today another tie. The team is in the games and although there are times when we are not able to do what we want, to dominate, the team is also quick to react and I like that too.

The team has a few comebacks. Is it the combativeness that you were looking for?
Yes, yes… when we came here on the day of Albacete we were a weak team. with little spirit He fell with the blows. Today listen… in a game in which we suffered, no one has left the game. We have played a good game. With the difficulty in addition that the field has that is still not good when a team locks you up. And yet we have finished with Mirandés asking for the time. And with the feeling that we have been a little short of the total comeback. I prefer to see the bottle half full. The team has spirit until the end.
How is the grass?
They are trying to find a solution. Means are being put in place to control it. I think we are going to suffer a few more games because at this point in winter it is difficult for grass to grow without being an engineer. It harms us on a physical level. Well… we have four days until Andorra.
I don’t need to tell you what to run in Andorra. They give all the teams a crazy review, they have them behind the ball the whole game. We have to prepare well physically for Saturday. Apart from José, who has some discomfort, the rest is fine. Physical things are then seen two-three days later.

Pardo and Juan Muñoz will not be in Andorra. At least Gaku is back…
We knew that there were warned players. We lose two. They were both in good time. A pity. I don’t think Gaku won’t come to Andorra. We are aware of the entire organization. Let’s see… it’s true that it’s a bit hasty. I don’t know if he’s going to reach us. Sanctions are part of the season. That’s what we have to reckon with.
Has the loss of Iker Undabarrena been noticed?
We talked about the squad we have and that we have to give oxygen to the players. In general we have had a while, half an hour, that we have not found our game. We have found Cissé playing as a center midfielder… and he has done a spectacular half hour. A Cissé is so good, it doesn’t matter where you put it. We have peace of mind.
How have you seen Neyou?
Yvan… it’s always difficult to start after so long. These things are complicated. He has touched the section of the game that we have been behind the ball the longest. What we were saying… the spirit is the important thing. The day of Albacete we had a low spirit… and decadent. Now it is something else. Also, the people… Mirandés has felt what Butarque is. It is very important that this energy that helps us a lot be transmitted among all of us.
Are you looking forward to the break?
The championship subjects us to this schedule that you sometimes say… I don’t even know who I’m playing against. We are fine. You cannot choose when to stop. Now I would not like to stop. There is good dynamics, the boys are plugged in, they are looking forward to Saturday… It will be good for us to rest, but if I had to choose, I would not stop now.
