Juan Ignacio Martínez assures that the tie, achieved in the last play, does not taste like victory and recognizes that Iván Azón, who insists on not starting until now despite scoring five goals in the last seven days, is calling at the door of ownership: “He is in a state of grace and gives everything. Now he himself is asking to get into the eleven, we have to be honest and the kid deserves it and he’s earning it”.
Assessment: “We know what it takes to win a game. It would have been unfair if they had taken the three points, but football doesn’t understand justice and it tastes like defeat to them. I keep that spirit of the team, with 0-1, annoyed, the fans angry and, however, they believed until the last moment. And then Iván, who is in a state of grace, has given us the draw as the lesser evil. He does not taste like victory to us”.
Midfield: “I’ve even thought about making a kid debut. I wanted to put Iván and Álvaro in and have more spread out on the wing to put in more crosses and not let the match pass through the center of the field, but with the adverse result, the slope becomes steeper because the rival takes more time. We have to give credit to Amorebieta, who has disconnected our attack very well, especially that numerical superiority that we had on the wing”.
Ivan Azon: “Right now he is asking to get into the eleven, we have to be honest and the kid deserves it and he is earning it on a day-to-day basis with work. That goal didn’t come by chance because he’s a kid who gives everything and deserves to start from the start”.
Low: “It was an adversity to play on Friday because they had less time to recover. Now we have until the following Saturday and we will see how the week goes. I hope the players get better from these discomforts, but I can’t venture anything either because they are rare injuries”.
