Find out what the players and our boss had to say about the victory

Abdón, Samu Costa, Leo Román and Arrasate gave their thoughts on our 1-0 win against Real Sociedad. Find out what the trio and the boss had to say: 

Abdón:

On the win: Very happy, it was very important to get the first win. The other day we came close but it got away from us because of details, but this team never loses its confidence. We always pick ourselves up and there is no confidence to lose.

On team performance: Our strength is the unity of the team and the fans. It shows match by match, no matter who is playing. All the players have a lot of quality and we showed it today.

On his feelings: I'm very happy, I work every day to be ready.  The fans never let me fall and never let my confidence go down. I'm at my best, enjoying every day and every minute I play.

Samu Costa:

On the match: It was a very good match against a very difficult opponent. We reacted very well to the defeat the other day. The fans were very committed and I'm very proud of them. This victory is for the fans, who deserved it.

On winning at home: Yes, we wanted to win at home. We owed it to the fans. We started the game very well and in the second half we dropped off a bit but they didn't create much danger and we're very happy. Now it's time for Betis.

On feelings: I feel very good, I have the confidence of the coach and my teammates. I'm very well, I couldn't be better.

Leo Román:

On his feelings: Yes, I'm happy but there are always things to improve. We have to focus on those things and reinforce the good things. We have to continue like this, the team has worked very well. It's easier this way surrounded by good players. I'm content and I'll keep working to keep it that way.

On the game: With this schedule you can't relax and you can't be thinking about the previous game. You have to think about the next one and go and get the three points and that's what we did here today. 

On the team: The players are very focused, you can see in training that whoever plays knows that they're going to do well. That also gives confidence to all the team-mates and the coach. I'm proud of what the team did today. 

On winning at home: Today the atmosphere was very nice. The fans have been pushing us and we have given it back to them with this victory, which is what is important in the end.

Jagoba Arrasate:

On the match: I liked almost everything. The team's personality, how we attacked, how we defended and by making changes the team held firm. We weren't up against it too much and it's a very creditable win.

On winning at home: Football has these things. Three days ago we were here talking about a tremendous disappointment and today we are very happy. Football always gives you a second chance and we took advantage of that today.

On the changes of the team: Yes, it shows that people are ready, they are training well, they are asking for their chance and today they showed it. It's not easy for me to make the following line-ups but that's what a coach wants, to have a choice.
