Jagoba Arrasate, coach of Mallorca, considered the expulsion of his captain Antonio Raíllo unfair, in a match in which they accused Celta’s good defensive work.
“I don’t understand the expulsion, for me it’s a yellow card. Raíllo hits it with his hand, perfect, but he is ahead of Douvikas and it can never be a clear scoring opportunity. That’s why it’s a yellow card,” said the Basque coach.
For Arrasate, his team had “a good first half,” especially at a defensive level because they “minimized” a rival that generates “a lot” in their stadium, but then they blamed Hugo Álvarez’s “great goal” and were unable to create chances for him. to a Celta that defended very well.”

“We have made eight changes and I have not noticed a tired team, on the contrary, I have noticed a team with energy. It is not easy to defend Celta and in the first half we did well, I don’t think we were inferior to them,” he indicated. .
“In the first half we lacked some bite up front, which we did have in the last quarter of an hour with those three or four chances we had. I don’t think we deserved to be behind on the scoreboard at half-time, but sometimes that happens in football. In the second half the team started well but then it was a struggle. They have defended themselves well and then with ten it has been impossible,” he concluded.
