S:Ergio Gomez believes Real Sociedad are well placed in the table at the end of the yearbut he realizes that he could have done even better if the course had not started badly. The versatile footballer from Badalona regrets not winning against Las Palmas, a game in which he was one of the most active in the txuriurdin attack.
Sergio Gomes regretted not beating Las Palmas. “From the beginning of the game, it can be seen that they went to wait a bit, to try their chances with strategy or our mistakes, while we tried with chances at all times, from the first minute to the last. In the 90 minutes, but we couldn’t get it right, it’s a shame. It’s a point we’ll see if we do well in Vigo.”
We were on a good run, but again we had a lot of chances and they didn’t play
He was reminded of the distinct possibilities that he and Oyarzabal had. “That’s right. It’s true that we were in a very good line-up, effective, after we had a lot of chances at the beginning of the season, but they didn’t play, and today we had a lot again and they didn’t go in. It’s true, I was clear, and so was Mikel, but they didn’t want to enter.
Are Real Madrid ranked where you think they could be? “It’s a very competitive league, and that’s why they lose a lot of points. With our positive results we stayed at the top, we could have done better because the start was not as expected, but we are in a very good position. We cannot give up because of this draw, we showed outside that we are also strong and we are going to prepare for Vigo with great energy to finish the year well.”
We played enough games to win, but we couldn’t finish the year well.
Sergio Gomes shares Imanoli’s view that Las Palmas tried to stop Real from playing too much football. “I think everyone saw it. We tried to give maximum tempo to the game, while they tried to avoid playing too much football. They are happy with the point, that says it all, we had chances in the first half and also in the second with several attacks.”
Despite everything, it was clear from Badalona that he and his teammates deserved to win. “We played enough games to win, we wanted to end the year on a high note, but it didn’t happen.”
