Pepelu: "It's a pity, we took a step forward away from home"
The midfielder assesses the away defeat to Villareal CF.
Valencia CF's midfielder, Pepelu assessed the away defeat to Villarreal CF on Matchday 29 of LaLiga EA Sports.
The game
"It's a pity because we took a step forward away from home which is what we wanted to do. We tried to take the game to the opposition and get in front, but it wasn't to be despite having a few chances, but ultimately the details make the difference, they scored the goal and they won the game".
The team
“We were very good with and without the ball. Little by little we are growing. Away from home, we had to take a step forward and, despite the result, I think that we took it. If we continue doing what we are doing at Mestalla and continue like this away from home, we can go far.”
A great performance by Mamardashvili
“We already know how good he is. He is a great goalkeeper. He has always shown it and having a reliable goalkeeper always gives you points. I am very happy for him. I hope he continues like this and now we outfield players need to score goals to make those performances stand out more.”
The fans
“Once again, they delivered -as in every away trip. It's a shame we couldn't give them that victory they wanted. Thank you to them for joining us at every game.”
