Nacho: “We don’t always show our best version away from home”

NACHO FERNÁNDEZ about.

…the 2-0 defeat at Anoeta: “We make individual defensive mistakes, as so often in the league. With a man down and against this opponent… it’s very complicated.”

…the upcoming Copa final: “If I said we hadn’t thought of it, I’d be lying. We always try to win, but we don’t always show our best version away from home. If you don’t bring the full intensity onto the pitch, every team wins against you.”

…the yellow-red card for Daniel Carvajal: “It’s a tough get-in, I don’t know if he hits him. But she was crucial and it’s not easy with a man down.”

…possible emerging doubts: “We’ll be playing for the most important thing over the next ten days. We would all have signed this situation like that. We have to raise our heads.”
