Cillessen: "We did everything to win, but it wasn't to be"
Jasper Cillessen spoke to VCF MEDIA about events in Valencia CF's away game against RCD Espanyol, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
In search of victory
“We tried everything to win. A draw is not good, but it is better than losing. There were some bad moments for us before the halftime break, and in the second half we did everything to win, but it wasn't to be."
A possible penalty on Mario Domínguez
“I didn't see it, but it looks like it was a penalty. The referee didn't whistle for it and we can't change it now."

His return to the starting XI
"I felt good. It was a good feeling to play again. The goalkeepers work to the fullest every day in case the coach wants us to play at the weekend."
Ending the season with a victory
“It doesn't matter how, even with an ugly game, but the most important thing is to win that final game. It is important for everyone; not only for the fans, but also for us it is important to finish the campaign in a good way."
