Ferran Costa assessed the draw against Ponferradina in the press room.
#ParauladeMíster | Post vs Ponferradina
"They have entered the game very well: during the first 15-20 minutes they have been very superior and have had clear opportunities. They have excelled because they are a great team and they have a clear idea of play. The things are as they are: they have been better. From the 25th minute onwards, I felt like we stabilized the game and we scored the goal. I also appreciate that on a day when we haven't been good, the team hasn't fallen apart. I think it is a positive thing that the day we feel overwhelmed during a phase we have the ability to get ahead.”
"In the second half, the first 15 were theirs but the last half hour was ours. We had five or six clear goal situations. It is true that it was not our best game and they beat us at the start but The team has been able to be competitive and stay in the game and has had its moment of superiority in the last half hour where I think we have been better.
"[Ponferradina] is a team that demands a lot from you defensively by putting six very good players in front of the line of pressure. They play with five players inside and the wingers also condition you a lot. It is a situation that It is not easy to defend because if you want to defend inside you give them space on the wings, and if you defend outside, they end up closing you next to the goal and with players of such high level they are always close to score.”
"We know what is the way, but how the path will be like is not clear. We know where we want to go and I take the fact that we have played four league games and we got some points in three of them. In general, when the team has played well, it has translated into the scoreboard and that, when we didn't play as good the team did not fall apart. We have a lot room to grow but we were competitive in a demanding start to the season".
