This has to serve as a boost to keep growing, improving and fighting for everything,\u201d he said on \u2018Movistar +\u2019 after the match. A match of which he criticised how his team came out on the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA verytough tie. We played a decent game at home and the same thing always happens to us here.We came here today as if we have already won and in the first move they scored a goal and it really hurt us. They are good with the lead and defending and we gave them that power. Both teams were very tired, it was very noticeable. Thank God we were able to win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Valverde acknowledged being tired although with the victory he \u201cforgets\u201d and explained the nerves with which he lived his spot-kick in the penalty shootout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of nerves in that walk, a lot of things that cross your mind. You try to be calm, but it&#8217;s complicated because if you miss you have a lot of people behind you who you don&#8217;t want to miss. But thank God we won,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/match\/atletico-madrid\/real-madrid\/2025270876\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite highlighting how much Real Madrid suffered, Fed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":786,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions\/786"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
