Cádiz CF
“Cádiz have had a very good start. They are a very cohesive team, well-drilled and effective in both boxes. They manage game situations very well. They have players in great form, especially in attack, with plenty of talent. We need to be ourselves at home, like we were against Eibar and Sanse, and in the opening against Granada, and give that continuity against one of the opponents in the best form right now.”
Step forward
“Injuries? Football is a contact sport. They keep us from what we want, but in the face of adversity, we must find solutions and take a step forward. Any team in the world would have problems. I also ask for empathy. We have to be very cautious, but at the same time find solutions and look to those players who will also get their chance. I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck, it’s football, a sport with many injuries.”
Concentration
“At every moment we have to push ourselves to the limit. That’s what makes the difference. Concentrating, focusing, paying attention… if we stay switched on, we’re a very difficult team to beat. It’s about habits, the day-to-day, always being in the game, and being more decisive in both boxes.”
Izan to the U-20 World Cup
“We feel proud of Izan. He’s a local player, wanted by many clubs, who chose to stay and will represent us. It’s a source of pride that a boy from here will represent us at the World Cup.”
Darko, Dorrio and Dani Sánchez
“Darko is going to keep improving. The other day he gave us some good minutes. He’s had a very good week and he’s going to help us. Josue and Dani have completed a full week of training, they’re going to help as well, it’s a process, and they’ll be included in the squad list.”
