Mendilibar: 'They took advantage of our errors'

Editar Descripción

“The referee made lots of mistakes”

José Luis Mendilibar was unable to contain his anger after his team’s loss and said that “they scored one more goal than we did. They took advantage of our errors and we didn’t know how to interpret the game well. That way of playing had gone well for us up till now, but one day it had to go wrong. We could have equalized, because we were alive until the end.”

The manager of the side from Pamplona also had time to analyze the officiating performance, asserting that “fifteen days ago Quique said that he didn’t want Teixeira Vitienes to call his team’s games again and it seems like there’s nothing like asking. The referee made lots of mistakes. There were plenty of things and in the end we lost 2-3 and it doesn’t matter. They’ll be happy in Madrid, which is the important thing, and those in Pamplona, angry and upset.”
