UD Almería - Athletic Club

Ustaritz Aldekoaotalora and Ion Vélez made their appearance in the Lezama press room on Monday, 26 January. The defender indicated that in spite of the changes in the starting line-up, the team was in condition to score and that even with the 2-1 against the referee did not see a penalty on Iñigo Vélez that could have changed the outcome of the encounter. On the other hand, he insisted on the fact that the team must now concentrate on the Copa in order to reach Wednesday in the best condition.

On his part, Ion Vélez recognized that the rest the trainer decided to grant him, did him well and that on Wednesday they must come into the match as if it were a final. At the same time he recognized that the results harvested in the Liga by Sporting and Athletic Club have nothing to do with the Copa match. Also, he reminded us that Athletic score in almost all the matches and that this must be one of the goals to achieve at El Molinón.
