Ernesto Valverde emphasizes the equality in the competition when explaining the point against Osasuna.
“It was a very difficult match. It was hard for us because they defended well and strong. It was not a very fluid game, with many fouls. We lacked fluidity, due to their good performance. Derbies are like that, competitive.” Ernesto Valverde showed resignation with the point obtained against Osasuna, although the team could have lost the match against the reds.
A draw against Vicente Moreno’s team and on to the next match against Villarreal, a direct rival in the fight for the fourth place in LaLiga: “We got a point wanting to get three, but we have to move forward. You have to take advantage of the advantage. There is a lot of equality among all the teams. For us, it is lucky to be in the position we are. We have to continue and on Sunday we play against Villarreal there.”
