Deportivo La Coruna president, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. It was a sensational match that ended 5-4 in which the home side, Deportivo La Coruna, lost.
Deportivo were 3-0 down after less than 20 minutes. It all seemed done and dusted for them, but they showed determination and character throughout the game as they tried to salvage their pride to get something back for their fans.
That is exactly what they did. The initiative was taken by their 23-year-old striker, Pizzi, who reduced the 3-0 deficit to just two. Another goal from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álex-Bergantiños-c4762 gave the hosts a glimmer of hope. But soon Messi scored his second of the night and dashed
the hopes of Deportivo.
Even though Barcelona were playing with ten men after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 was sent off, Deportivo could not get anything from the game as Messi completed his hat-trick for the night on the 77th minute.
The hosts added another goal to their score sheet through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-c19110 Alba's own goal which made the final score 5-4 for the Catalans.
Regardless, Deportivo President, Lendoiro, believes that his team played well and showed courage in front of their loyal fans.
“You have to present a good image. Even whilst they have lost they have engaged everyone and we can be proud of the team and the players.”
The president has also commented on what he thought when Deportivo were down by three goals, admitting that it was all negative feelings.
“With the score at 0-3 I thought of what was possible, mostly negative. We must congratulate the team for their delivery, and the fans, for always supporting.”
He also talked about how strange it was for the team and the fans as well.
“You can never celebrate a defeat, but the game was worth celebrating, with a full stadium and a great atmosphere,” he admitted.
Finally, the president admitted that his team deserved to be congratulated for their display against a giant team like Barcelona.
“We must congratulate the team, who played on despite the score, sometimes against a very big advantage, showing their quality and potential.”
Deportivo will travel to Estadio Balaídos for their next La Liga match on Saturday, October 27.
