However, the Spanish midfielder felt that the result was too emphatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isco, one of the main stars in the Betis dressing room, spoke out after the defeat in the Conference League final against Chelsea. The Betis captain was self-critical and mentioned the fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA very tough result after what we saw in the first half. Football is unforgiving. We played a good first half where they hardly had any chances. In the second half they rolled over us. We are hurt. We had it close and we didn&#8217;t know how to take advantage of the lead. This is something that has penalised us all season. In a European final, mistakes are very penalising,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isco himself admitted that they defended too deep: \u201cI think we took refuge in the scoreboard a little bit. We got too deep. They&#8217;re a team with a lot of quality, a lot of power\u2026 it&#8217;s a result that&#8217;s too big\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re very sorry we couldn&#8217;t give them the title. We&#8217;ll keep trying. What these fans give us is incredible at all levels. They are fuel for us to keep trying next year. We owe them one and I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll give it to them in the future,\u201d he concluded about the fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isco acknowledged Chelsea&#8217;s superiority in the second half after losing in the Conference final in a match they<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":457,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455\/revisions\/457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
