Garitano: “It’s been a perfect week”
The red-and-white manager has stressed Athletic Club’s goal efficiency in their win in Valladolid: “We were lethal when we went forward”
Gaizka Garitano has shown his satisfaction with the job done by his side, defeating Real Valladolid 1-4 at José Zorrilla: “It’s been a perfect week: our win over Villarreal, our qualification for the Copa final and today’s victory. The team has made a great physical and mental effort, and that speaks well of us“.
The red-and-white coach highlighted the goal efficiency of the team: “The match was more difficult than people may think just by looking at the result, we had to defend well and we suffered. The difference was made by the fact that we were lethal when we went forward with the ball. We had no problems getting up front, we created danger and finished off our chances”.
When asked about the good results Athletic Club have managed to get this week, Garitano concluded: “If we want to be a good side we can’t just play seriously when something important is at stake. This is how the team has to be. We exhausted ourselves on Thursday and we’ve won well today. This is the team I like, mentally strong and competitive“.
