Confidence

“We’re in need of a victory to regain confidence and continue to be strong at home, which is one of our virtues in LaLiga. We hope we can return to winning ways”.

Real Sociedad

“We know they have a great game. They are a team situated in the top part of the table, so we must respect them, but I think we’re capable of defeating them within our order and gameplay. We must be intelligent, wait for our moment and not trust in them, as Real Sociedad pack a lot of punch. We’ll need to stay focused the entire match and make the most of the opportunities we generate. In the last match, we didn’t take advantage of situations, which is costly in the First Division”.

Injuries and solid defence

“There are teammates who, unfortunately, are experiencing injury problems. I think the boys coming up have a great level of enthusiasm and excitement at the chance of having an opportunity. If it’s their time, the coach will have faith in them. We’ll see who gets the chance to play, and give them maximum support. We’ve conceded many goals, which is the responsibility of the whole team. Defence starts at the top, but if we’re not organised and well-positioned, rivals can cause you to struggle”.

Marcelo Romero

“What has changed, is that what he says counts. Beforehand he would advise on certain movements. At the time of the match, the person who makes the decisions is the coach, and now it’s him. We must take it as such, believe in him, and in ourselves, to return to winning ways at home, which is what led us to reaching 21 points in the rankings”.
