Quique Setién: "We weren’t brilliant tonight but we have earned three precious points"

"In the first half we cancelled out Villarreal, but in the second half we lost it a little and let our rivals back in it", stated the yellows trainer, as his team reached 35 points in the league.

There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

"We started off really well, but they pressured us hard. We made a few counter attacks and went ahead with the goal by Prince, and following the sending off we were superb for 30 minutes. In the second half we let things slip and let our rivals back into it", declared the UD Las Palmas manager.

"It wasn’t a brilliant performance but we have picked up three vital points that allow us to look forward with a certain amount of tranquility". "In the second half we ended up with each player fighting his own battle which we have been working on in training this week. Villarreal were a threat even with ten men".

"Raúl made a great save, and that really set us up". He said that "Jesé has had a physical problem and I didn’t put him in the starting line-up because he lacked freshness. Halilović was fine but Tana is playing superbly right now".

Regarding the re-signing of his contract, he said: "I intend to answer the club shortly".
