Diego Alende spoke with the media in the mixed area after the game against Ponferradina
Statements by Diego Alende
"In the first half we were not comfortable. I think they were superior. They put a lot of people in the last line and it was difficult for us to adjust in the first half although we knew how to suffer. The best thing was the result. In the second half we knew how to adjust and we finish the game really well and we had our chances. I think they were better during parts of the game but we have to take the fact that we knew how to suffer and that we got a point against a team that will be on top".
"We were alive until the end. It is not a surprise because we already knew the level of Ponfe and this category. We are very clear about it. We have to continue, think about the next game and go for the three points at the end of next week."
"At home we have to take as many points as possible but the rivals are also playing. The game we had prepared for didn't work out but we also have to know how to suffer, take this point and value it."
"They had a defensive block very compact and we were not able to find passes inside. In the first half it was a bit difficult for us to get the ball out but we have to stay with the last minutes and improve these aspects."
