Preparation

“This is the pre-season. We’ve been training for little over a month and we know what this is. These are very deceptive matches, the physical load is heavy and we’re trying out different things. Of course, it’s clear we have things to improve on, when we don’t move forward it’s because we need to make improvements. However, we have to be realistic and know that we’re in the pre-season. There are over 10 days left until LaLiga gets underway, which is the most important focus, and above all we have to recognise how and why we’re losing matches”.

Unfortunate goals

“I hope all goals come to us in this way, which are from unfortunate actions. We’re staying calm, working hard and above all focused on the objective of arriving fully prepared for the match against Eibar”.

Calm

“The legs don’t respond in the same way, neither does the head. It’s important to consider that all teams carry out tough preparations during the pre-season for the rest of the year. It’s normal that these situations occur. I don’t think anyone can doubt this team, in defence or attack, because the goals don’t arrive. We’ve got players of a sufficient level in order to remain calm. We all want to win”.
