“Perhaps La Nucía came out with more intentionalthough we played quite well” said the UD Las Palmas coach, Pepe Garcia, after the fall of the yellows in Copa del Rey.
La Nucía eliminated Las Palmas in a penalty shootout (6-5), the coach acknowledged that it was a lottery: “Only those who throw them fail. Yesterday we tried and scored all the penalties. Today Fabio ruined his”.
García Pimienta also explained:
“We played against a first team RFEF and equality was maximum. He competed very well, with his starting team. When there were ten of us left, another match was played against a very hardworking rival. He touched us the bitter part of football, which is to act with one player less ”.
“I am happy with the work of the boys, despite the difficulty. But from now on think about what really matters, which is the League”
“I’m not disappointed in the players, although the rival had an edge. You always see surprises in the Copa del Rey. This helps us to learn and think about how important the League really is.”
“I’m happy with Saliou and Joaquín’s debut. We really missed it for the game. Almost everyone was expected to participate, they came out with more intention, but in the end I think we competed quite well.”
