"Now we'll have to see which players we can call upon for Zaragoza"

Julen Lopetegui was very happy with his team after their win against Cádiz: "It's an important win, we've got three points against a dangerous opponent. We defended really well against them, we waited for our chance and we took advantage of it. We've had a very difficult month and a half. We haven't got many options in attack and we've only been able to work with a few players this week because of COVID. Now we have to see how we can recover, we have to check what Fernando has got, and go to Zaragoza with the best options possible".

"We had players out of position, and they played with determination, responsibility and solidarity to help the team to achieve our objective", he added.

To finish, Lopetegui spoke about the next match, the Copa del Rey Third Round match against Real Zaragoza: "Now we're heading to Zaragoza to face a real cup side, they've got history, a nice stadium, a good manager... We will really have to be at our best. We'll have to see which players we can call upon, so we can go there and bring ourselves closer to our objective, but it will be difficult".
