The coach of C.D. Leganés, Asier Garitano, appeared at a telematic press conference at the end of the match that the pepineros played this Monday at the Vallecas Stadium, which ended in a draw (1-1).
The coach summed up the match in this way: "In the first half we were dominating, but we had injuries to Omeruo and Arnaiz and that complicates things. We held Miguel and Rubén Pérez, who were very weak, and the rival demands a lot from you. We conceded the equalizer and then we suffered. The pity is that Sabin's header, but they were closer to 2-1 in the second half. We got a point that will help us, now we have to try to recover our players and keep improving," he acknowledged.
"Today we lacked strength. When it doesn't give you, you have to suffer and defend to be able to get the point."
About Miguel de la Fuente, he stated that "he played a great first half, and then he had a problem in his hamstring. He held out as long as he could". Regarding the physical problems of some players, Asier indicated that "the physical condition is in the mentality, this point will strengthen us and we will be able to compete on Sunday against Logroñés. When you maintain this line, everyone gives a better version. I am calm because the people who are out are going to give a good level, we will try to get the maximum performance to be able to reach the 'play-off'". Regarding the controversial actions in both areas, he commented that "they are interpretations of the referee and the people on the sidelines. No matter how much you protest it won't change anything at all", and denied that the team has any fear when they take the lead in matches: "They're not afraid, today we lacked strength. When it doesn't give you, you have to suffer and defend to be able to get the point. Those who are not daring are difficult to be with the best", he concluded.
