Rayo Vallecano – Betis | Copa del Rey: Iraola: “I’m not leaving sad, the success has made the difference” – Spain’s News

DIt’s a hard stumble for Rayo Vallecano who will have to come back at the Benito Villamarn if they want to be in the Copa del Rey final on April 23. Andoni Iraola, a red-and-red coach, made it clear at a press conference that the tie is not over and that success will once again be key to the future of the match.

Feeling after the match: “We want another result, we want to go ahead if possible. Now, we are at a disadvantage for the second leg. We played a good game, but the game was even. Within that even game, the players who have played their goals have made the difference. That’s why they get the result. I’m happy in general terms, we have been better in some phases and they in others. The team has given the level, they have been more successful and that’s why they get the result “.

Differences in the match: “It is clear that their players, especially in the midfield, such as William Carvalho, Fekir and Borja Iglesias, have made the difference. They are very strong players for this type of field, they have won many divided balls. It has cost us to impose ourselves on the bodies. “We have been dangerous from the outside, with many central options, but we have not been successful. It has been a balanced game, if we managed to score the last one for Nteka it would have been a new game. They are very good players, they have been successful and that is why they get the result.”

Team fatigue: “We can’t ask the people for anything more. They have been supporting us throughout the match. The players have also given their all, some have changed very tired. We have changed Comesaa and Trejo because they couldn’t take it anymore, but they also ended up tired I’m not leaving sad because the team has managed to give its level, it’s a shame and even more so after having put us ahead”.

Comeback options: “They start with the advantage on the scoreboard and with the fact of playing at home. We will face the match like a new one in which they just scored against us at the start and we have to come back. We are going to have to do things very well and trust in having more success than they have. We have to play a very good match for it to be balanced like today”.

Play the final as a visitor: “Obviously with the result against it, it is more complicated to play it away. The three games we have played against Betis have been similar, with good moments for both of them and only the success defined the game for one or the other. They have had the success in this match and we have to trust that in the second leg we will be the ones who have success”.

look for the comeback: “They were already favorites at the beginning, this result makes the classification easier for them in some way. I am convinced that they know what it cost them to win and they are not going to relax in the second leg. We are going to go with all the faith to make it difficult for them We will have to make adjustments, take some more risk, but that is what is involved in this type of qualifying round”.

Falcao: “We are a team, we all push to achieve the goal. A striker should not be judged solely by goals, it depends on many other things. I have no doubts about Falcao”.
