Mauricio Pellegrino: "We need to our best in order to have chances against Athletic"

C.D. Leganés' coach, Mauricio Pellegrino spoke to the media on Tuesday morning in the I.D. Butarque's press room, before facing tomorrow's match against Athletic Club.

"We are going to play against a very good team. they have reduced their mistakes a lot. A very competitive team in all aspects and we need a very good version to have chances in tomorrow's game," said Mauricio about the opponent. "They have improved a lot in the defensively since last year. They concede little and make few mistakes and take advantage on those made by the rival. They are very confident and everything is going pretty well for them. We have to try as hard as possible not to make mistakes in order to have advantages. "

"I think the VAR is a great tool and it is there to help the referees, as us they also make mistakes. But the errors were more justifiable before than now that there is VAR. It is true that there are interpretative actions. But with eight screens, six people, four referees... if something is outside or inside the area it is not interpretation. That's what bothers. But of course I still believe in the VAR so that there is more justice," Mauricio commented on the VAR after being asked about the penalty in favor of Valencia CF last matchday in Mestalla.
