He admitted that "everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong, while what could have gone well also went wrong". Referring to his team’s performance, he said: "The team showed improvement, but our slightest errors are punished. We need to have confidence and to be more effective".
Regarding the club’s precarious position, he was calm, saying: "If I am sure about one thing that is that I am not giving up. We are convinced we will climb our way out of this". Referring to his team’s showing today, he said "their attitude was spot on today, I have no complaints".
Ayestarán sent out a message to the fans at the end of the press conference in the Estadio Gran Canaria: "We are as hurt as they are", adding: "It is unusual to play such a good second half and end up losing". The manager shares the blame for his team’s negative position.
