Javi Gracia: “We’ll need to compete to the maximum and most demanding level at Vallecas”

Before heading to Vallecas, the Blue and Whites’ coach says he is sure that the team will “overcome these difficult times. I trust in my players and of course I am confident that we’ll do better.”

Rayo and Vallecas

“I think we’ll have to do what will be demanded from us at this ground and against this rival.  Over and above what we’ll be focusing on, we are competing against a team that has a very defined style of play.  We’ll need to compete to the maximum and most demanding level, as if not, we won’t bring anything positive back from this stadium.  The opponent will demand us to perform at our best, and for that we’re prepared.”

Precedents

“Rather than think about negative aspects of past games, I remember the match last season at 12 p.m. at La Rosaleda which turned out very well for us (Málaga CF won 4-0 in this game).”

Confidence

“Of course I trust that the team is capable of overcoming these difficult timesI trust in my players and of course I am confident that we’ll do better.”
