All the voices of Alavés after falling into the Heliodoro were self-critical. Nobody wanted to put hot cloths at 2 to 1. An example is Toni Moya. “I think that we were not good and that we made mistakes like the day of Granada. We lacked to match the rival’s intensity, we tried to equalize until the end but we couldn’t. We had Javi López’s with the stick but he did not enter, ”he said.
This is the second consecutive defeat, a circumstance that had not happened until now. In this sense, the man from Extremadura commented that “this is very long, it is true that we are talking about the second consecutive defeat and that is very annoying. When you play as a visitor, the first thing you have to do is match the intensity of the rival and we, during the match, did not do it and we ended up paying for it”.
The calendar is devastating and does not allow time for regrets. Luis García Plaza’s team returns home today and will return to training tomorrow to prepare for the game against Javi Calleja’s Levante. “The sooner we get back to winning ways, the better for us. Now we have to learn, improve and think about Monday’s game, which will be a final”, stated the Mérida-born midfielder.
The good news was the return of Mamadou Sylla to the squad, to the game and his reunion with the goal. The striker has been sidelined for three months due to an unfortunate injury in Ibiza. The field is artificial grass but the bench area is synthetic. He over-braked, slipped and crashed into the methacrylate of the bench. Consequence, a strong sprain that almost took him to the operating room. Yesterday he returned and scored.
