The Left Bank derby brought “immense joy” on the one hand and the fact that they were “very frustrated and upset” on the other. This is how both coaches expressed it. Imanol de la Sota was the face of happiness, with his team in the noble positions of the table. Meanwhile, Ángel Viadero conveyed the concern of those who are in relegation and do not know victory at home.
The two coaches agreed that Barakaldo deserved the victory. “We knew the importance of the derby and of winning in Las Llanas, but Barakaldo has been better on points,” acknowledged the black and green coach. De la Sota even stated that “on occasions and, if Iago -Herrerín- had not been so inspired, we could still have killed the game earlier.”
The goalkeeper was bursting at the seams, but in front of him he had a Maroan Sannadi whose price increases as the days progress. “Maroan is special, he still shines because he does very spectacular things to see someone with so much size and skill,” De la Sota highlighted, after praising all his players, one by one. Viadero also praised the forward. “Maroan’s unchecking has done us a lot of damage,” he noted.
Overturned hobbies
Barakaldo momentarily advances to fourth place and increasingly faces a greater candidacy for the promotion play-off. However, his coach stressed that “the objective is to reach the points that ensure you are in the First Federation for another year. “If that is achieved very soon, we will start dreaming about other things.” Regarding the fact of not winning in Las Llanas, Viadero commented that “it is a pending issue that we have, for us it is very important in order to fight for salvation, the home games are crucial.”
Likewise, both were grateful for the brave push and good behavior of their fans. «I have come here many times since I was little, for someone from the Left Bank, experiencing this is a pleasure. This is difficult to see in many places, it is what must be protected, it is a source of pride because it makes you feel different,” highlighted a happy Imanol de la Sota.
