After Bardhi’s goal he hasn’t given us more
For David Lopez It has been key to have played “two games at two in the afternoon” and that they have had fewer days off. “It gets very hard.” “We wanted to win,” he insisted. But after the second Levante acknowledged, resigned, that “it has not given us more.” “With the 1-1 we had a long time ahead and when we were better we have found that goal by Bardhi. Then we have lacked freshness to be able to tie ”.
For the defense “they have been more decisive.” And he repeated that although “it has not been” the “best game” of the Blue and Whites, the defeat has not occurred due to lack of “effort”. Now, for the captain, “all that remains is to raise your head and move on.” “We deserved more, the team has made a step forward” after the halt due to the coronavirus crisis and will play “continue to the end, until we have no more strength.”
