Athletic has been left with a bad taste in their mouth after the tie achieved by Sevilla with an own goal from Alex Padilla. This is what he has recognized Valverde at the end of the meeting. “It all depends on who ties, if you tie you leave with a better taste in your mouth. The expulsion has been a circumstance of the game, that play has marked what was the tie and that we have not won the game. That and then the rebound goal, but it was a good play by Sevilla. From the middle of the first half onwards we were better and in the second we wanted to kill the game and they would hurt us on the counterattack,” stated the coach.
The red and white team has left two points, something similar to what happened against Atlético, when the colchoneros won with a goal from Belt in the extension time. On that occasion what was lost was the tie. “It was a shame because we lost points here, on Atlético’s day and today,” he added.
The direct red of Julen Agirrezabala marked the match. For Txingurri and his players, referee Soto Grado has not been correct. “I don’t know if an appeal can be filed. For us it is not an expulsion because he touches the ball and it bounces out. It’s true that it’s his turn later. There are two referees, one on the field and one in the VAR. Don’t know. In my time, touching the ball was a safe conduct,” he explained.
Mikel Jauregizar He has scored his first goal as a lion and Peio Canales He has made his debut with the first team. The coach has analyzed what these two youth players can give him: “Jaure It has to help us a lot this year. Last year we saw things that could be good for the team. He runs the ball well, he has arrival and does well in the disputes. It’s just starting but it has a long way to go. The goal is the reward for his work. In the case of Channelswe saw that Berenguer He was a little off the hook, we were playing with four forwards and they could beat us. “I put him on the field because he was the only specific player I had on the bench.”
