“The opposing team has been very incisive and the frustration has made us lose our temper. This is a sport and we don’t like to see what has happened. With that frustration and fever it’s hard to be calm,” he said.

“They worry me not only about the sanctions. We are trying to recompose ourselves from the calendar, and many players who are coming and going. I hope there are no sanctions and we don’t lose any more pieces,” he concluded. Chus Mateo.
