The deadline day drama resulted in the Yellow Submarine facing the ignominy of relegation to the Segunda Division after defeat to Atletico Madrid at El Madrigal.
Radamel Falcao’s 88th minute strike in Vila-real stopped the hearts of Villarreal fans across the globe. As the Colombian international finished off his debut La Liga season with a tally of 36 goals in all competitions, the Yellow Submarine were
relegated to the Segunda Division.
After the defeat to Atletico Madrid, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcos-Senna-c23808 spoke about the match and admitted that the players have failed the fans. He stated that they had the chance of writing their own destiny but failed at the last hurdle and do not have any excuses.
Continuing on the subject, he asked for the forgiveness of El Madrigal faithful, who have ushered the team on through thick and thin. He added that a goal on the night would have helped their chances, but they cannot do anything about it as it’s a moment
of the past now.
"As team captain I apologize on behalf of the entire team to all the fans who have supported us from start to finish. We have salvation in our hands, so do not look for excuses because we value the tie. A goal could have saved us and we have not succeeded.
It's a hard stick."
Reflecting on Villarreal’s demotion to the Segunda Division B, Senna stated that the club does not deserve to play in the Spanish second tier football competition.
However, the Brazilian born Spanish international believes there is enough character in the squad to rise up from the ashes and return to the top tier in the near future.
“This club does not deserve to be in second for all that is, I'm sure we will rise again," he said.
Rayo Vallecano scored in the penultimate minute of the match to secure their La Liga stay, which demoted Villarreal to the second division. Senna stated that they cannot look at these things right now as they were the masters of their own destiny but failed
to capitalize on it in the field.
When quizzed whether there might be any conspiracies in the chain of events, Senna was dismissal of the questions. He added that he is only concerned with the affairs of Yellow Submarine and does not want to comment on what happens elsewhere.
