The coach, Luis de la Fuente, showed his satisfaction with the victory and stuck out his chest. “Football is like that and it is very even. Everything costs a lot and you have to give value to so many victories. The team has been able to overcome adverse situations and that is a very good sign. I never tire of repeating that our footballers are very good. For me they are the best. “We are privileged to have such generous footballers,” he said.
The Rioja coach also appreciated having three debutants (Aitor Paredes, Samu Omorodion and Pablo Barrios): “We have a fantastic present and the future is wonderful. These footballers do not fail and we must give them opportunities and trust them. This makes us a more powerful and stronger team. There is a lot of competition. The level of demand is maximum and the competition makes them bring out their best version.”
The coach doesn’t care about one rival or another in the quarterfinals: ”The three possible rivals are fantastic teams. We have played with Croatia and Italy recently. We don’t care and the important thing is to arrive without injuries, with people recovered. Let there be options to form a good team. It is important to arrive at a good time and recover from injuries by then,” he repeated.
Yeremy Pino
“I can’t ask for more”
Yéremy Pino, one of the scorers of the night, was one of the first to go through the microphones: “Goal and victory at home, I can’t ask for more,” said the Villarreal player: “It was a very special game for me, with all my people.”
Another of the scorers, Bryan Zaragoza, also spoke: “I wanted to take over the field and that’s how it happened. My game is based on dribbling and the penalty thing has been a personality thing. Now we have very good players and we are waiting for the World Cup. “I don’t care if we get in the quarterfinals.”
Bryan Gil
“A united and healthy group”
Very happy for me and the team and for finishing the year winning. “I haven’t been here for a long time, but everything happens for a reason. Today I leave with a goal and happy to be back. This is a very united and very healthy group and it shows on the field. Everyone is here to contribute, but of course we need Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal,” commented Bryan Gil.
Samu Omorodion, one of the three debutants, said “I am very happy with how they have received me. I am very proud and very happy for the team’s victory. It’s the best day of my life. I hope I’m in the quarterfinals. “We just have to keep working.”
“Debuting with the senior team is a dream and ending up winning is much more pleasant,” said Aitor Paredes. “There was a little bit of bad luck in Monteiro’s goal. “The desire to win and to be the protagonist has been noticed.”
“This is a dream to remember for a lifetime,” said Pablo Barrios. “I didn’t think this at the beginning of the season, but I signed it. I feel good mentally and physically. In today’s football there are no ages. Young guys are coming out with a lot of talent.”
