This Amore is very much alive. The victory over Mirandés in Lezama allowed the Blues to sleep just four points from permanence. Haritz Mujika was really satisfied because “we are still alive and aspiring to our goal” of being able to achieve permanence. “We have to get the points from home.”Today was a very hard-fought and complicated game. We have been able to get ahead and that has given us a lot of life because it was the moment in which we were suffering the most”stressed the coach from Pasaitarra who wanted to “congratulate the players and the fans, who have supported us when necessary”.
An important emotional shot for the squad, which Mujika confirmed: “The dressing room is very happy, we have to continue there with what’s ours, working week after week and game by game. This gives the team an incredible point of morale. Every time we are closer. Now it’s time to wait for results, but we’ll continue like this and we’ll have options until the end”. A fundamental aspect of Amorebieta is being their defence, achieving the second clean sheet since the new coach arrived just six games ago: “We a very good defensive rigor and keep a clean sheet during all the games you can. If we keep a clean sheet, we always have chances for crosses, second line arrivals, shots from outside… The kids are leaving their skin in each game and it is appreciated the commitment they have.”
The great protagonist of the victory, Álvaro Peña, also expressed his joy after the victory: “We are still alive and in the fight with great desire. We played a very complete match with many chances. We have known how to suffer and we got a reward of three important points”. Regarding his goal, he explained:”We knew that the central defenders left a gap in the front, Guru made a great play and it was a nice goal which has served to give the three points to the team”.
