"Usually it was an aspect in which we suffer, but in recent games have coincided so many goals. We do not get back to us so many goals from set pieces and we will work for it because it points us beyond," he detailed.

According to the player, the team is "good," although "in some last minute goals has received," but has ruled out that this is due to "something physical." "We have a fairly large staff, we can all make things," he added.
