"I cannot clarify it publicly, because it is an internal matter of the club and we will be seeing it. People will discover it over time. Those things cannot be said in a press conference."

"When players have quality, they can score goals and decide a match. They could also have been decisive with Álvaro or Isi. Oihan (Sancet) has been very accurate and we are happy. Sancet is making a great effort because he has an ankle problem and plays with some pain. He performs at a high level and is very focused."

Match analysis

"It has been a very competitive match, as always in Vallecas. At times the game is a bit messy because no one wants to give an inch, and we were two teams that pressed a lot with little space to think. We stepped up and came back with Sancet's two goals. We tried to make sure the team maintains its essence, and in that aspect, we are a fairly recognizable team."

The success of the substitutions

"You always try to make them serve to improve different aspects of the team. I had thought about the options at half-time and we carried them out based on how the start of the second half unfolded."
