“I was told about it when I came to the press conference. I don't really know what happened, but the club are in contact to try to resolve this situation. We will be in contact with them to find out what happened that meant they were unable to access the ground, and we will try to resolve it in the best way so that they do not feel harmed by what happened.”

“We didn't have great chances, but we tried to be practical. Going ahead gave us some peace of mind, but we were living with the risk that they could equalise. We tried to be more forceful to make it 0-2 and kill the game off, but it was not a great game for us. We tried to be solid, but we lacked that punch and consistency to make a bigger difference in the scoreline. I am not happy with the game, but I am happy with the result. CP Parla Escuela had a very serious game, did a great job and made it difficult for us.”

An opportunity for players

“It is a risk, but we also have to give the young players the opportunity to participate in this type of game. They did well. We needed to reserve players for the next LALIGA game.”
