Beto Company: "When we see the game lost we start playing"

The coach answered the questions asked in the mixed zone after the match against Real Sociedad B

#ParauladeMíster | Post vs Real Sociedad B

"The only explanation I can find is that we are uncompetitive at the beginning of the game and that is counterproductive for the result and it is impossible. We have started the first 25 minutes that are not in the category, and that is a general criticism. It happened to us in Amorebieta, in Salamanca, and here before minute 1 we had already had a dangerous situation. It seems incredible to me that at this point, with the team we have, with the expert people, with the experienced people, with many games in this category and in the higher, we are giving away these 25 minutes."

"Then, when we see the game lost we start playing and in the end you have clear situations, not only to tie the game but to win it. It can happen that they don't go in, today it went wide, on the post, the rebounds went wide, and in the end you leave with the feeling that if you play 20 minutes in this category, it is very difficult to get anything positive and especially away from home."

"It's not a question of defensive fragility. If you're not able to generate anything in these 25 minutes and they hurt you, you didn't come, you didn't show up. In the second half they didn't shoot at goal, then there is defensive fragility, yes, during these 20/25 minutes, but above all anti-competitive, not only on a defensive level but also on an offensive level."

"Lautaro and Jesús with the concussion, they are being stitched up now. In the end, they are facial wounds that are nothing more than that, but they are serious, they have blood, and they had to be stitched up, especially Lautaro's. And the expulsion is never detrimental to playing with superiority. It's true that we lost the reference, Luismi came on and we didn't have a reference as much as 9."

"I don't know if we'll sleep in or out of the play-offs, what matters to us is that the home games have to be competitive for 90 minutes."

"The most realistic thing, as always, is to win the next game. Mathematically, we have options for everything and we will fight until the end. This team is capable of having long streaks without losing, it has won games consecutively. We have to reverse today's game starting with a home win against Segoviana."
