Alberto Navarro (Getafe) / Translation by Michael J. O'Donnell
Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa analysed the victory in Getafe in the mixed zone.
Alonso
"This is a very important victory because circumstances made this match more complicated. The wind, the pitch and the cold made it tough. This is no excuse though and we deserved to take three points. It isn't easy to defeat Getafe at their stadium, where they've managed to concede very few goals. We must focus solely on ourselves and on each game at a time. We must keep up the good work."
Arbeloa
"It is a very important victory because it's always hard for us to score here. We took three very important points that bring us closer to our objective. We were unlucky not to score from the other two or three clear chances we had, but the team did well overall. We know we are efficient at scoring goals, but it's also important to keep a clean sheet in games in which we don't score much, like tonight's."
