The Txingurri cleared that the guion of the meeting was not scheduled, and that does not know neither what will find the Saturday, in which it will repeat the Classical but this time in LaLiga: "we Have had a level of high tarpaulin and in the first time have not been well. Our rhythm of game was not high and they, with recovery, created us contras. It was missing us offensive intention and therefore we do not arrive more times. The clear occasions were of them".

"In the second part have had hit and have had more intention, because with the 0-0 were was, although with contras could hurt us. They already tightened us so high, the football also is question of wear", reflexionó, before underlining that in spite of the satisfaction does not want excesses of confidence: "it Is an eliminatory star and the one who happens to the final goes out reinforced, but we have not won the final, it is necessary to play it".
