Objective: score points

“We have a clear objective in the next three matches to start scoring points away from home, and have a different sensation. It’s not about playing well but not scoring. Anoeta is the ideal place, and the ideal moment to achieve a good result. Anoeta is a magnificent stadium, we are facing a good rival, but the need dictates”.

Moment

“Now’s the time for everything, we can’t wait any longer. We can’t settle for people saying we are a team that plays well and deserves more, we need to score points and be more forceful”.

Line-up with Ignasi Miquel

“It comes from competing, he’s on form. He’s what we were looking for to replace Juankar, a player who we could include immediately to training and the line-ups. We didn’t have many defenders, and Miquel came from a team fighting for promotion”.

Diego Rolan’s injury discomfort

“We didn’t think it was something so exaggerated that he wouldn’t be able to play over the next few months, we only looked to this coming weekend, and believe that he might be available for Betis and Alavés. It’s a shame because for us he’s a benchmark player. Not just the highest scorer on the team, but he also offers other alternatives in play, and results have been better since he arrived”.
