Luis García Plaza: “We were so excited for this – it’s a shame”
The boss shared his thoughts after our 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano
Luis García Plaza reflected on our 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano in his post-match press conference as we were eliminated from the Copa del Rey. Oscar Trejo’s first-half penalty was the difference on a frustrating evening as our cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals. Find out what the boss had to say below:
On the match…
"It was a very even match. The mistake we made weighed us down. It was a ball that had no danger and we have to avoid those situations. We competed on a pitch that wasn't very good. We had some chances to score, as did they, but we didn't succeed. We had a lot of excitement and desire to go through.”
On playing at home…
"Playing at home in the cup format is a plus. Today the crowd helped them a lot. On Saturday we need our supporters to cheer us on.”
