Rioja: "We need to be self-critical and step up" 

Luis Rioja has spoken about the loss to UD Las Palmas at Mestalla (2-3).

Analysis of the game

In the first half, the team has to go ahead very comfortably. We were good on the scoreboard, with tranquility, but goals are what make the games. We were not good in the penalty area. We lost once again and we have to get up from now on.

The areas

We scored two goals at home and if you score two goals at home, you have to win the match. We weren't strong in the penalty areas, especially in our own area, and that's everyone's fault. In the first, they took a quick free kick and we weren't in position, and these are things that can't happen. These are details that are penalizing us a lot and the team is falling. If we don't have the right attitude, we're going to have a hard time, but with one less player, we had a lot of courage and we tried to make it 2-3. We have to pull this off together.

Self-criticism

We have to be self-critical, we have to take advantage of the good things, because there are still many days to go, almost three quarters of the competition and the season has to be evaluated in the 38th. It is normal that there is anger and that we are fucked up because the situation is bad.

Off to Getafe CF

This doesn't stop and we have to try to raise our heads as soon as possible. This doesn't stop, the rivals are adding up and we have to do everything we can to get out of this situation as soon as possible.
