Andoni Iraolacoach of Rayo Vallecano, valued the draw against Valencia, which brings them a little closer to the objective of permanence, although he admitted that his team, after twelve league games without celebrating a win, is “costing it to add each point”.
Rayo drew in Vallecas against Valencia, in a match in which his team had to overcome the initial goal scored by Carlos Soler. “The reality is that it is costing us to add each point, but if the team continues in this dynamic of intensity and if we believe the prize will come soon. The team wants to achieve the objective and if it has to be one by one it will be like this, because the day we win we will probably have our objective almost achieved, although we can only insist and want to”, said Iraolaat a press conference.
“Today we had more chances than Valencia, their goalkeeper saved more, the game was more towards our side than theirs, but the first one they had, with a rebound, went inside. We have to stay with the fact of seeing a team I live and trust him. I’m calm because of how I see the players and sooner or later the prize will come,” he said.
“The players feel on the field that they are not being overtaken, that we are better than our rivals, and in Vallecas we have to make ourselves respected. Today there was a lot at stake, Valencia is a very strong rival, He has very fast players, and if you leave them space for you to shoot at them, we were going to suffer,” he said.
“Now each game that passes is more important than the previous one and even more so when you’re against a team that’s under you”, confessed the Basque coach, who had to watch the game from the stands as he was suspended.
“You live differently. You can have a more calm perspective, see certain things, but it is difficult to make adjustments. I trust that it will touch me within a lot the next time,” he concluded.
