Quique Setién: "It is hard to hurt such a defensive team"

Quique Setién said tonight that "our rivals constantly interrupted play with fouls, and this made it really hard to hurt such a defensively-minded team". For Setién the only problem in Granada tonight was the lack of quality in front of goal.

There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

"The only problem, if we could call it that, is that we didn’t make the most of a match in which we were on top throughout", Quique Setién stated. "I am happy with the work the team put in, but it was not an easy match. It was hard work breaking down such a defensive team, who broke up the flow of play with their continual fouls", he said.

"We have lots of shots on goal and have been unlucky, and they scored with their only chance on goal, and that was enough for them to win the match. I was really pleased with Jesé, but we have got to let him settle in because he has only just got here. I am sure that the chances he missed today will count as goals in future games", the yellows trainer claimed.

Regarding the non-starting of Roque Mesa he pointed out that "he has started every game so far and needed a break", while he said that David Simon also had a good game, when he came on the replace the injured Michel Macedo.
