Hangover from victory against Zaragoza: “I give it a lot of value for several reasons. The first because, if we had not won, our options were considerably reduced. Second, because we started losing and, nowadays, those who put themselves ahead have a better chance of winning. Third, for achieving a forceful victory that fills us with confidence. We carried the game well and we had things that we lacked when we were winning, not only to keep attacking, but also to defend well. This victory and the defeat of Elche make us depend on ourselves. Everything is there so tight that those who fail are left out. If last week's needs were great, tomorrow's were the same. If we are not able to take this game forward, there will be other teams that will. “
200 League matches with Rayo: “Very happy, not only for the number but for being the first coach to achieve it in an entity that I consider my home. I hope that the number continues to increase, that there will be many more. I try to learn from the good and the bad, especially for not to make mistakes although it is human. I have tried to gain experience in many things, that this is worth to me to be better and, above all, so that the entity is favored. “
Numantia: “Before all this, it came to be in the top six. It is a team that played football very well, with good taste thanks to its coach, with very important players … In fact, between Escassi, Curro and Higinio have 27 goals. He does not lack a goal, of course, but that bad dynamics and mistrust have gotten him into trouble. It is going to be a very difficult game, he has good midfield players ahead. Or we are forceful and we will put the result soon in our favor or it will be difficult. We have to be cautious and try to get that second victory that would give us the peace of mind of being where we want. “
Depend on themselves: “If you don't depend on yourself, bad business. The endings are as they are. A lot of things happen … If you get to the end and you have to be depending on what others do, experience tells me what a bad business.”
