Setién: “We deserved more than a draw”

The Villarreal head coach has expressed his satisfaction with the Submarine’s performance against Real Betis

Villarreal head coach Quique Setién spoke to the media to analyse the 1-1 draw against Real Betis. The Cantabrian coach stressed that Villarreal deserved more than a draw against the Andalusian side: “We got a point, which should have been three. The first half was even, but in the second half we were superior. We had more chances and we threatened a lot, but we didn’t find the second goal.”

As Setién points out, the Submarine were only one goal short of victory: “The reality is that it all comes down to scoring, but we played a great game. We conceded very little and generated a lot. We came forward a lot and stopped their transitions. We are satisfied because these are the things we can control.”

Looking to the future and the upcoming fixtures, the Villarreal head coach acknowledged that there are a couple of very demanding games ahead of his team: “They are two important games. Now we want to get people back. We know we have two tough games before the break. We face them with optimism. We take encouragement with us. We deserved more than a draw against a great team. We are getting more and more confident. We had good moments against Madrid and Valencia, but now we’re in a good moment.”
