Dani Pendin, second coach of Osasuna, He admitted they were “very hurt” after his team’s 4-0 defeat against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu stadium since they considered the match as “an opportunity to exploit” against a “sunken rival”, in reference to the last two defeats of the white team against Barcelona and Milan.
“We don’t arrive at a stadium like the Bernabéu and against a rival who has collapsed after two defeats. I said it in the previous one, We had to give our best and today that wasn’t the case. We were very doubtful and against a team with these transitions and counter-situations, if there was anything we talked about, it was that.”
“We are very hurt for us, because of the people who came to see us in Madrid and we have a feeling of anger. “This match is very important for us and people had a lot of hope that we could have a good match,” he analyzed at a press conference.
“Until the 1-0, the match was controlled, but we could have done a lot more in the first half. Real Madrid can do you a lot of damage with the punch they have. “We thought we could do better in this scenario, but that wasn’t the case.”assured the Argentinian.
“In the first half we made it 2-0, thanks to the strength of Real Madrid, but we could have done much more. In the second half we let Vinícius run after a corner in our favor and that killed the game,” continued Dani Pendín.
“Madrid has many players capable of scoring a goal in any game. What’s annoying is that the goals, the second and the third, come from plays we had worked on during the week. The arrival of Bellingham from the second line, that a play in our favor did not result in a goal against us… the second and third goals were decisive,” he concluded.
A match against Real Madrid in which he was confident of having achieved something positive: “If we were fifth in the standings, it was for a reason. We knew that Real Madrid had been hurt by their defeats against Barcelona and Milan. Maybe it was an opportunity to seize. We had to attack more on the wings and do a lot more damage. “We are hurt by this scenario because we knew we could have done more,” he said.
In addition, Dani Pendín, who was coach this Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu due to the suspension of Vicente Moreno, analyzed his team’s away performance. “Lately we equalized in Valencia and won in San Sebastian. Outside of the home it can cost more. “You don’t have to be very smart to know that this course is very difficult and with this type of team you pay when you don’t give your best,” declared.
