NYLAND: "I AM HAPPY WE COULD GET SOMETHING FOR THE FANS"

Nyland was the stand out player in the draw at Vallecas and spoke after the game: "It was a very tough match and we knew it. We are happy with the point even though we had opportunities to take the lead. But they played a good game and it's always a difficult place to get the three points. I'm happy with my game. I wanted to give something to the fans and my teammates too because last week was different. I am happy to have had the opportunity to give it to them and we are going to work to get three points. Now we are facing teams that are close to us and we have to take advantage of the opportunity." 

Isaac Romero reiterated that “we knew that we were coming to a difficult stadium because of Rayo, who are having a very good season. We tried to get the three points, we went behind but came back and got a point that helps us to keep fighting. Sometimes things don't work out the way you thought they would, but luckily Dodi's goal gave us a point. Nyland played a great game and we are very happy for him and Dodi, for how well they played." 

Lastly, goalscorer Lukebakio spoke: “It was a very difficult match, with a lot of intensity. It was difficult, but I'm happy because we didn't lose. I don't really like these matches with so many duels, it's difficult to play on these pitches. It was very important to win, but the draw is good. The other day it was difficult for Nyland, but it wasn't his fault and today he showed that he is a great goalkeeper. I am very happy for him. Rayo had a lot of chances and he showed that he can be important for us.”
