Real Valladolid head coach Fran Escribá analyzed his side's dramatic 4-3 victory over CD Leganés, describing the encounter as an intense, back-and-forth contest where his team ultimately held on despite a late scare.
Escribá Highlights Attacking Punch and Defensive Lulls
Speaking after the match, Escribá praised Real Valladolid's attacking effectiveness while expressing concern over defensive lapses in their own box. Although the Pucela built a comfortable 4-1 lead, Leganés responded strongly, narrowing the scoreline to 4-3 and leaving the hosts on edge.
The manager noted that Leganés adjusted well tactically by packing players into the center and moving the ball effectively. While early set-pieces helped establish control before halftime, Escribá admitted his side conceded too many shots and lacked defensive firmness, a recurring issue following a similar pattern in their recent Copa fixture.
On a positive note, Escribá highlighted the team's potent finishing in the final third. He also credited assistant coach David Generelo for the tactical design on set-pieces, which allowed central defender Miguel Rubio to score a decisive brace before being substituted as a precaution after a month-long layoff. Additionally, Escribá expressed satisfaction for Tay's goal, which rounded out the scoring, while providing updates on injuries, noting that Garriel suffered a shoulder dislocation.
