Embarba: ‘A very tough defeat, but we can’t dwell on it’
The UD Almería skipper urges focus after loss to Racing Santander and shifts attention to upcoming Málaga CF clash
UD Almería skipper Adrián Embarba in Santander and the scorer of the team’s goal, admitted: ‘It’s a very tough defeat and we’re hurting, but we can’t dwell on it.’
Speaking after the match at El Sardinero Stadium, he said: ‘We had high hopes for this game... a game we’d been targeting because we were on a good run. However, we’re still in the fight, sitting third level on points with Deportivo de La Coruña and now we have to focus on Málaga CF, who visit us next Sunday.’
The winger had put UD Almería ahead in the 12th minute, but the hosts quickly turned the game around: ‘We knew Racing are very dangerous in open spaces and we didn’t manage that well. Then came Lopy’s red card, and just when it felt like we still had a chance, the third goal arrived and it knocked us down.’
