Fernando Vazquez spoke to the press after the 0-0 tie against Alaves and highlighted that the team “maintained its composure against a difficult rival,” and added that even though the team is not happy with the result, “we added a point, and a point is still a point.” In that respect, the Galician affirmed that if Mallorca play with strength, determination, and enthusiasm, “we are a difficult team to beat.”

The coach commented that from the opening part of the game, “you could see that Mallorca wanted to win,” but conceded that there were times in which the team was sloppy. In addition, after questions from the media, he reiterated, “it is better to add one point to the total, than none at all. We must keep working.”

Vazquez did not view the team’s play as tense, but “it seemed that there was a certain anxiety, not fear, at some stage of the meeting, we lost a little control.” Still, despite the circumstances, he stressed that “the team handled the pressure well. The result is not good, but the team still showed strong.”
