Vicente Moreno, The Osasuna coach assured this Saturday at a press conference, after drawing 1-1 against Getafe at the Coliseum, that even if his team wanted the victory, they cannot “disappoint” the point they added at home.
After beating Barcelona on the last day (4-2), the Navarrese team wanted to add their first victory away from El Sadar of the season to provisionally occupy one of the places in the Champions League on Saturday. He didn’t understand and his trainer He regretted the loss of two points after a result that he considers “fair”.
“We have to give it value. No team has won here yet. It’s a bit difficult to win here. We had the idea of adding the three points. It was a good time, we came in security and confidence. With humility, because we haven’t won here for a long time (since 2008),” he said.
“In the first half,” he added, “not much happened and balance is the goal, we were confused at a throw-in. In the second half, fifteen minutes, Getafe were better. Then we equalized and we could have scored another. With this reading, the fairest thing is a tie. “That’s not what we were looking for and ultimately we shouldn’t be put off by that.”
“It was in the first fifteen minutes of the second half that Getafe were at their best. Then we felt like we were capable of winning the game.. I congratulate the players, because they had to compete and they did. Then people pushed us and we thank them, they are present at all the matches, not just at home,” he added.
Moreno stressed that his team wanted to “impose and be better” than Getafe, but He acknowledged that his rival had managed to make things difficult for Osasuna. “It’s the first goal they’ve scored without being a free kick. We competed, we were in the match, there were moments for both of us and I think the draw, much to our regret, is right,” he said. .
“We played four away matches,” he stressed, “and we drew and lost twice.”. It’s not easy. Before the match, eight teams had not won away. The line between equality, victory and defeat is sometimes very narrow. We are very strong at home, I think we are the best team at home. If we want to make a qualitative leap, we must stay at home and win regularly away from home. It’s not easy, because everyone wants the same thing. »
“It’s early to make assessments. If we go into the cold, we’re not bad score-wise, there are things to improve and things we’re doing well. Emphasize what we are doing well, let’s improve many things that need improvement. At the beginning, we always have in mind to win everything. I expected it to be more points. Someone escaped along the way. We must keep our feet on the ground and value what we do,” he said.
