Víctor Sánchez del Amo: "The lack of efficiency is penalising us, and this is the most important thing in football”

Press conference

Real Betis head coach, Víctor Sánchez del Amo, has answered the questions by the media after the game.

Match analysis: “It’s the same of all the games we play at home. We have a lot of chances, and that’s important, but you need to score in order to win. We created 16 chances again today, but we lack efficiency. We shoot many times on goal and have clear chances, but they are blocked inside the box when we have everything in our favour. That’s what matters in football. We knew that today we were facing a rival with a huge potential that is showing different versions at home and away. Valencia has a lot of individual talent and they are able to create a lot of danger. There have been chances in both boxes, but we made 16 and them just 8. Our effort to win the game was bigger, but is efficiency what matters. We also defended well but we are not satisfied with a points. If we want to add three points we have to be more accurate.”

Referee: “We never complaint about it. We respect it and we understand how difficult it is. They make mistakes because they have to make decisions in milliseconds. From outside, with the TV, it all looks clearer. I’ve been told that the handball inside the box was clear, but it’s part of the game. If the referee sees it, he’s going to whistle. Ceballos also told me that he was clearly fouled inside the box. The ref didn’t see it and that’s not an excuse.”

T-shirts supporting Zozulia: “It’s part of the message we’ve sent from the first moment against a situation that Roman doesn’t deserve.”

Yellow cards for Pezzella and Dani Ceballos: “No, we don’t prepare those situations. There were normal plays. Ceballos always plays with passion and he didn’t even have time to complaint before seeing the yellow card. The one for Pezzella, in my opinion, wasn’t even a foul. They are suspended for Granada and that’s it, we have enough players to play there.
