“Today was planned, we worked during the week and I am happy, because what we planned was done and consolidated. There were quite a few plays we had to make; Before, we didn’t have it, we didn’t get to the goalkeeper”, coach Bombillo commented.

“It seems to me that the team was totally different…”, added Torres, who believes that there are no internal problems in the club and that the bad game is because they are adapting to their idea of ​​the game.

In addition, to the question that he does not have a clear idea in the meeting with the rivals, the coffee coach answered angrily: “We always work offensively.” You say you play while you train; sometimes you train well but you don’t play well. We don’t play as if we were training, and this team always trains well. I want the team to always play like today. We have to keep working and keep going.”

“We have to find out because we had opportunities and we didn’t include them. There are times when the goal is closed, and today it was closed, it went in, but the referee canceled it. We cannot give up on the situation we are experiencing,” he added.

To conclude his intervention and reassure the fans, DT pointed out: “The coaching staff has to trust their group, especially when their morale has fallen. We are very satisfied with the result. You have to raise the group, because football continues”.

“The players are there to face these kinds of challenges. When the chest needs to be placed, we put it and talk. We are working and betting on achieving the positive results we need,” he concluded.
