Full-back and winger

“I’ve always said that I’m at the disposition of my teammates and wherever the coach wants to place me.  I’ll give my all in any position on the field of play, and will try my best to bring my strengths to the team”.

Llorente’s disallowed goal

“I’ve watched it two or three times, and don’t want to see it anymore.  We should have claimed all three points, but these things happen and you can’t do anything about it.  I think the team played a good game and we deserved victory, but that’s football”.

Focus on Sevilla FC

“We won’t achieve anything if we keep thinking about this mistake.  Often they’re wrong, and other times they aren’t.  We must now concentrate on the match against Sevilla, an important, difficult game.  I don’t believe there’s anything more important than that, at the moment.  There’s no better way to compensate for the draw than with a win against Sevilla”.

Keep trying

“We had many approaches to the area and were attacking well.  I think the team worked well, but we weren’t as fortunate as we have been in other home games when we’ve clinched victory.  We must keep trying hard, and I’m sure things will go in our favour again”.

Two more games

“There are two matches remaining before the Christmas break, and we want to end the year with the best feeling possible”.

Sevilla, a demanding rival

“We were training hard today.  We’re aware that Sevilla FC are a very demanding rival and particularly strong at home.  We won’t be able to relax for a second, due to the players they have and the tough ground.  We’re really going to go for it”.

Earn as many points as possible

“It’s always great to fight for the top places, but we must remember that we can’t relax as the bottom positions are not that far away.  We need to gain as many points as we can and focus on the job we have to do.  Earning the three points is what we must strive towards, and if at the end of the season we’re in the top part of the table, then that’s ideal for us and the fans”.
