Juan Ignacio Martínez regrets that Zaragoza had to go back to tow in Malaga and considers that the tying goal before the break has helped his team have been better in the second half. This is the sixth consecutive draw for the Aragonese: “To make these points good you must hit a quantitative quality jump of three points. We are not doing it and Thursday has to be the final one against Ponferradina ”, said the coach.
Assessment: “Credit must also be given to Málaga. They have very good players in the offensive aspect, with overflow, and things had to be corrected because they have led us to difficult situations. Again the difficulty of conceding a goal and going in tow, which is what we censor, but it is also true that ninety minutes go a long way and Malaga is being very regular at home and had not yet conceded a goal. In the first part we were comfortable in possession, but without creating danger. We were lucky to draw just before the break ”.
Second time: “It is true that in the first half Málaga created danger for us, but they were also plays in which, in quotes, we had a little control. Yes, there have been indecisions, some from set pieces, which penalize you a lot in football. We have tried to be firmer and have more security and from there to look for the rival goal. In the second part we have been much better. That self-esteem of the tie to one allows you to go to rest stronger mentally and you do not leave with that anxiety. You also stop all that attack that Málaga was developing and we have covered those spaces that in the first half we had not done so well. From there the team has grown a lot ”.
Six ties in a row: “To make these points good you must hit a quantitative quality jump of three points. We are not doing it and Thursday has to be the final one. With all due respect to Ponferradina, La Romareda has that need to go home happily and win the game. All these points that we took out are made very good with a victory. He is resisting and hopefully it will be the next day ”.
Narváez: “He has been in discomfort for two or three weeks. He has been there for whatever it takes and, obviously, he is growing and those annoyances are subsiding. He is a very strong person mentally and it is good for the team that grows with that goal ”.
