"I am satisfied with the work that the team has done. First, logically, because we got qualified. It is a competition that is exciting, with all the matches very intense, all of us who participate want to do things very well and we met an away game in a field where there was a very good football atmosphere and an opponent who played with a lot of energy. I think we started game very well, that the team was playing very good football and we were getting there, but the goal was avoidable and we had to fight to avoid it, but the mentality of the team was very good after that, to keep insisting because we were close to the goal even though we didn't manage to score. I think that this good mentality and being calm in the game and attentive to conceding very little against an opponent that generates little has allowed us to win."

"There has been a good football atmosphere. With people very excited, pushing Don Bneito a lot, who has played with a lot of energy. I think we have been very good and very attentive because they are a team that tries to put balls at the back of the defense with Oussama, they are also good at set pieces and they load the area with a lot of players. It is true that these last league games have been difficult for them to win but they are always a team that generates a lot and it is uncomfortable for the opponent. I wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season and it was a great pleasure for me to play a cup game here."

"[On goals conceded] We have a duty here: we are a solid team that concedes very little but we have to pay maximum attention to it. I think we do a lot of things well during the game, we have improved in attack, the team manages to have domination from the combination game, we are having good arrivals, but we still need to have more because of the volume of play we have and we are defending well forwards and backwards. I have the feeling that we have to do a lot but they are punishing us with little too much".

"I think the team has a very strong mentality, that they are playing with personality which is what we demand of them, but winning is satisfying because you see that the things you do are rewarded."
