Gracia: “We’re going with the ambition of scoring and winning the match”
The Blue and Whites’ coach says that the team will not “defend the result. I’m confident we’ll be successful and capable of scoring and winning the match.”
Two matches in a week
“We’ve tried to adjust in terms of player recovery and match preparation, with precise guidance to know what we’ll be up against. It’s true that we’ve had little time, but I think it’s sufficient to go there with full guarantees of playing a good match and gaining the points in play.”
Points to counteract the rival
“Aerial play, but not just Aduriz. We suffered last season when we conceded a 1-1 League draw from a San José set piece. We’re aware they have great potential in this type of action.”
Going for victory
“We maintained a clean sheet on one occasion and earned a point, but we’re not looking at this match as just defending the result, we want to try and score goals. There’s a first time for everything, so we must remain optimistic and confident that luck will be on our side, that we’ll be successful, capable of scoring a goal and winning tomorrow’s game.”
