Marcelino underlined his happiness after getting an important win against Sevilla thanks to Ayoze’s goal
Villarreal head coach Marcelino García Toral spoke to the media after the win at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán (1-2). “It’s a very important victory and we are very satisfied. We were more clinical than Sevilla and that’s what decided the game,’ he said.
In the same vein, he pointed out that both teams had chances, but that Ayoze’s goal decided everything: ‘It’s true that we had more chances earlier to make it 0-2 or 1-2, but they also had chances. The fairest thing would have been a draw, but we were able to make the most of that chance at the end and we leave with the victory and very satisfied with the win and for taking four points out of a possible six after two very difficult games.”
Marcelino also had words of praise for Diego Conde for his great interventions that kept the Submarine alive in the second half: “Diego played an important role. He made some very good saves. I’m satisfied with that. Your goalkeeper has to be decisive to win games and today he was.”
Finally, the coach applauded the attitude of the players who came on as a freshman: “I’s important that we make the most of the minutes. Ayoze played for half an hour and with his goal we got three points. That’s the idea we should all have. That gives us competitiveness. I think having five changes has changed football.. It’s vital to have the substitutes switched on because they can win a lot of points by the end of the season.”
