Back from injury
“I sustained injury when I was feeling fit. Yet the other day, after two weeks of recovery and one and a half training sessions I felt great. I need to pick up the pace, but I’m happy to be back.”
Team identity
“Right now, the team isn’t as fluid as we were at the start, but this is a long competition and on Sunday we have a new opportunity to get the three points. The season is all about ups and downs. Out of 13 games we’ve only lost two. Those at the top are winning and we have to continue on. On Sunday we’re playing a good team and we have to win. We have to be ourselves.”
Mentality of the squad
“The squad is the same despite the last defeat. The players are sure of who we are and what we do. We are a very humble and healthy group. The team is 100% ready for Sunday and we want to enjoy another win.”
Comfortable in midfield
“In midfield, as a pivot, I feel comfortable. I like to be in contact with the ball. Playing on the inside I feel good, and I will play wherever the coach puts me. I want to do my bit and help my teammates.”
Demanding
“We’ve lost two games. We know the demands of the club and the city. There are few fans in Spain like this, I love it and we know the pressure there is here. We always have the pressure to win and it’s amazing with 23,000 people cheering us on. I’m sure that people will come to Murcia to support us and we will get the three points.”
The role of La Rosaleda
“The fans know when they have to push the team. The players have to isolate from that and not be afraid with the ball. At home it’s a little more of a struggle and we play more with our hearts than with our heads. We have to play without fear of having the ball. I prefer to play in front of more than 22,000 people than at an empty stadium.”
Level of the category
“The Primera Federación is highly competitive. Any team here could compete in the Second Division. The teams come to La Rosaleda and grow. You see high-level teams in the category.”
Match against Murcia
“We know that we are going to be up against a good team. They haven't started well, but they have changed coaches. I know Pablo Alfaro, he has gone to a great club and will make things difficult for us, but we have to play with our identity. The rivals also play and hurt you, but we have to show our strengths and know what we have to do at all times.”
