Ambition

“I would like to win all the points in play.  The figure we can now reach is 51 points, which will allow us to improve on our numbers from last year, which needs to be our motivation.  To try to win the points at stake, improve our place in the table, our number of goals, and maintain the good feelings until the end, so we can end the season as I think we deserve.”

Analysis of the rival

“Our next rival is a team who performs very well; who are in the position they’re in on their own merit; who have had a great season in the League and Cup competitions; and who play the most practical League game with their strengths and weaknesses.  We were capable of winning in the first round match, during a good moment for the rival, from two set pieces.  They force you to up your defence game, as if not they will generate numerous approaches, and above all, are particularly dangerous at home.  We’ll need to work extremely hard.”

Good physical condition

“We could talk about feelings or subjective opinions, but the reality is the number of metres covered, the high intensity metres.  This data shows that we are competing in matches at a very high level compared to other teams.  I understand the physical condition as a whole, and running doesn’t mean anything if we don’t know how or what we’re doing at that moment, but the stats show it’s a job well done.”
