Rubén Albes and Iñigo Vélez greeted each other after the game.
Amorebieta added a valuable point in his visit to Anxo Carro
Amorebieta added a valuable point, more morally than in the qualifying round, during his visit to Anxo Carro. A draw in extra time that served Iñigo Vélez de Mendizabal to highlight the character of his team and the faith of his players. “Because of the way it ended, because of the insistence, because of the chances we have created… the goal at the last minute shows that we believe until the end”, the coach congratulated himself.
“You have to keep the positive things. We were convinced that we were going to win here. Seen the game, we have done what we had to do to win. The draw must be seen as something very positive because the team did not give up until the ninety-odd minute and was deserving of at least one point, “the Vitorian insisted. “I think it would have been totally unfair to leave here defeated.”
In the debit of his own, the coach of the zornotzarras regretted that Lugo‘s goal came in “a corner that we have given away”. “It is a pity that due to an isolated set piece action, which we know that Lugo is very powerful in these actions, we have only achieved one point”, he added in this same sense.
“It’s hard for us to keep a clean sheet. It’s reality. And it is not that they give us twenty occasions. That’s what we have to keep improving. Because we rarely don’t create chances in games. But despite the fact that defensively we don’t keep a clean sheet, it’s another feeling for the team in that aspect », he continued.
Except for that mole, Vélez de Mendizabal left satisfied with the good image offered in general terms. “We played a game to win. It was impossible for us not to score a goal with everything we were having. He wanted to score as soon as possible because he was seeing that if we scored we would turn the game around. The bad luck in this case is that we got in at the last minute and it hasn’t given us more time”, said the head of the Urritxe bench.
The point against Lugo is insufficient loot for Amorebieta, which barely closes the gap in the table. “We are aware that draws are not enough for us, that we have to win. But the feeling of the team is good. We are aware that we have to improve every week. And always with the intention of going out to win, and win as soon as possible », he concluded.
