Osasuna’s second coach, Dani Pendinled the rojillos this Tuesday during the Copa del Rey match against Chiclana (0-5) due to the absence of Vicente Moreno, who is in Massanassa with the permission of the club due to the DANA tragedy.
The Argentine coach offered the post-match press conference, where he said: “First of all, I want to congratulate Chiclana for the match they played. I’m not surprised. I know him well. I knew how motivated they were and they were able to take the advantage from set pieces. I hope they can continue to play like this.”
“Happy to pass, for victory, because we had no injuries. Very happy for Kike (Barja) and Iker (Muñoz) who return to play after two injuries. They did very well. We dedicate the victory to the coach of course. He deserves it. Rubén (García) loves all people who are going through a bad period,” said the Argentine coach.
His analysis of the first part is as follows: “They caused a sensation with their motivation and we play a little slow. It was difficult for us to adapt to a landscape that was getting worse and worse. They returned from play Sunday with little recovery time. Very happy and I understood that it was going to be difficult. “We were lucky to take the lead shortly after the break, but it wasn’t easy.”
“The last communication we had with Vicente was last night. He told us he was tired and sick from all the cleaning. We don’t want to bother you. The programming was a bit decided compared to last week. We move on to another round and that’s it. I give more credit to what Chiclana did than to us,” concluded Dani Pendín.
