García: We achieved the important thing, and playing against Real Madrid is always special
He began his talk: “Your decisive pass to Olmo? Yes, I am happy to help the team, he is a great player, he helps us and we miss him a lot when he is absent.”
He added: “We enter the cup final against Real Madrid in a good moment. It is true that we lost to Dortmund, and the last results were not great, but physically we are in good shape. Playing against Real Madrid is always special.”
He continued: “The most important thing was the win and the three points, Getafe is a defensive team, and they also have physically strong players. We knew that scoring the first goal would be difficult. Perhaps it cost us more than we expected, but I am happy with the performance we delivered.”
He emphasized: “We knew that Getafe would defend deep, they have very strong players physically. In the first half, we faced difficulties, we had chances but struggled, and in the second half, we scored from the first opportunity.”
He concluded: “Getafe’s goalkeeper made great saves. I think the team continued to insist until the end. We controlled the match well, and sometimes in the last minutes, we faced difficulties, but I believe we were very good today in controlling the game, and this is something we needed to improve and I think we did that.”
He added: “The fans’ applause for Ansu and Fort? I think this shows the mentality of the team, we are a united team, and I believe the coach keeps everyone motivated, and this was proven today, and Ansu and Hector had a great match, and I think this gives them a boost to keep working as they do, and it also shows that the coach, in addition to his trust in them, trusts everyone.”
