Andoni Iraola
The Cherries boss said his side played very well, and deserved more from the game, after Dango Ouattara’s goal in stoppage time was disallowed by VAR.
Andoni Iraola said “I think we played very well, especially until the 60, 70th minute. And after, I think we ran out of energy a little bit. “We couldn’t keep the high line so high. We had an opposition in front that is very good and they put us under pressure. They started crossing balls. “I think Neto made very good saves for us. But I’m even happy with the reaction because they scored an equaliser after a very good game that you probably deserve. Okay, it looks like we could win it. “They scored, 1-1. Sometimes teams go down and they finish. “[That] didn’t happen, I think we reacted well. The game was very open. I think it was a high-level game from both sides. “At the end we scored, we scored and it should have been 2-1.”
Iraola said his side played with a ‘very high rhythm’, making it an enjoyable game to watch.
Andoni Iraola said “We ran a lot today, ran a lot against the opposition that also wants to run a lot. Both teams accepted the rhythm of the game and everyone was tired at the end. “But I think we like this kind of games . Both teams, it was open. I think it has been a very good game to watch from the outside. “And it’s true that we couldn’t keep until the end the same level of energy. They also assume more risk, put more forward and open a little bit. Also the spaces at the back. “It could have happened everything at the last 5, 10 minutes. We could have lost, we could have won. “But overall, I finished very happy.”
