"We missed clear chances"

Quique Sánchez Flores has been very satisfied with the victory against Alaves. He assured that "it is a happy day" because the team has returned to have "a very high level" against "a very intense opponent and that makes all their matches are very even. Another good news has been the victory, logically, and the inclusion of Leo Baptistao" after almost four months of low.

The coach has defended that "to get to dominate from the beginning is very complex. We struggled to adapt at the beginning, but the team generated chances of goal in both the first and second half. What happened in the second half is that the game was unleashed in several kicks and seemed to catch another speed".

The coach has also ensured that "the fans have supported us at all times, also in the most difficult. It's been a fantastic season in every way.

For Quique, "we only had to finish the game in those three or four quick actions we had. We did not and the rival continued whole. We had the feeling that we were easy to reach the goal rival and that made us lose the ball and have to defend in the final minutes, because, in addition, the heat was already very intense".
