Excitement and spark

“The group is extremely excited, and looking forward to Saturday’s match. We’re determined to go all out for the three points from the start and turn this situation around. With the arrival of the new coach, perhaps the team will regain the spark we were missing. Whenever there’s a change in coach, the players all give a plus. The new coach has brought his ideas, and we’re working hard to ensure they’re reflected in Saturday’s match”.

Ambition and work

“The team is focused on working hard all week, preparing for the match and winning the three points. We have a top-level squad and our sole objective at the moment is securing victory on Saturday and regaining confidence. The first goal is the three points, beyond that I hope we play a good match so people leave content and satisfied. We’ll see an ambitious team who will go all out for the three points”.

Deportivo Alavés

“Alavés are having a great season. They are a difficult, complicated rival, as they all are. We must focus on ourselves. We are clear on how we can cause them some damage. It’s important that we carry the weight of the game”.

Eager to win

“We’re not thinking about anything other than winning the three points. There’s no relaxation whatsoever within this group. There may be other types of situations, such as not being successful. We always want to win every weekend”.

Míchel

“Míchel comes with his ideas and is trying to put them into practice during training. Logically, he wants to get more out of us. We hope we can adopt his ideas as quickly as possible. The coach wants to see an ambitious team, who steal possession far away from their goal and who attack well”.

Level of the team

“Over the past three months we’ve won far less points than we deserve. We’ve all spoken and are aware of the team’s potential. We have a good group. It’s important to maintain calm”.
