Real Sociedad coach bangs his fist on the table
Real won 2-0 a few days after their LaLiga defeat against Athletic Bilbao in the Basque derby. Following this rebound, he suggested that his team could now favor efficiency over beautiful play. And it is also a message addressed to PSG, the future opponent of the Spanish team in the Champions League (February 14, 8e final).
“This week, some were not happy because we lost the derby 2-1 against Athletic, who also went out, who are third, who do not play in the European competition… It is true that, at times , they were superior, but my team, even conceding a 2-0, remained standing and came out almost on all fours giving the best of themselves, even if they did not have an exquisite day. “It is certain that with time we will realize what this team is doing.”
Imanol continued by admitting that he has difficulty accepting external barbs, especially in view of what has been accomplished by his own people in recent months. “I am very sad when someone criticizes this team. It really hurts me that we are criticized when we are not excellent. We can blame this team for not succeeding, for not winning, because it’s football and we win, we draw or we lose, but we can’t say anything about their attitude, which is exemplary since five years. It seems to me that there was no need to question the work and efforts of this team.”
