To 12 points of the Barça
“They have had more continuity than us”
The changes
“We have more of a disadvantage than before this game and it’s even more difficult. I think the drawing hasn’t changed, I think only the individual characteristics have changed. Nacho had a yellow card and Mendy came on. I put Rodrygo in for Kroos to gain more ability offensive. Finally, I changed the three midfielders to add energy. Nothing new. The changes have given a boost. The game was won”
momentum with changes
“After the first part, which was very good, it seemed absurd to me to make the changes. From 70 I wanted to get more momentum”
How is the wardrobe?
“We are sad and hurt… but proud of the game we played. If we plan games like this, we will surely win something at the end of the season”
Offside
“Making 5 changes in the 60th minute seems too much to me. I make two changes in the last 15 to give something higher. The game was complete from minute 1 to the last. We haven’t won it because there is an offside that still We have doubts. We’re going to Madrid with doubts”
Third defeat against Barça
“We had our doubts after the Super Cup game, but today we cannot have doubts about a game like this. A difficult field and opponent, but we did well. We didn’t deserve the defeat”
Doubts about offside
“The offside in the World Cup was clear, but today I’m left with this question. Was it offside? I don’t know. The offside with the semi-automatic seemed quite clear. The game is lost”
More continuity of the Barça in the season
“The month of January has cost us a lot. After the World Cup it has been difficult for us to find a good condition, now we are fine and we are going to finish the season well”
Disadvantage in LaLiga, priorities?
The priority is to prepare well for the matches to end the season well. I leave this game very proud because the game has been very good, the changes have been very good… and the coach has made very good changes. We are going to compete in all competitions with a lot of confidence. Let’s fight”
Vinicius:
“Taking into account the quality that Araujo has, I think that Vinicius has done well today. He has faced many times and has won many duels.
