MADRID, 19 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The head of operations at Real Sociedad, Alfredo Castresana, considers that they have “a lot of hope to be able to reach that final” of the Copa del Rey and to be able to celebrate it with their fans, something that they were not able to do in 2020 after becoming champions of the competition.
“A team that is now coming back and we are very excited. It is a tournament in which we have a lot of hope to be able to reach that final and to be able to celebrate it with the people and experience it with them, which we could not do in the final that we played previously and that we were able to win it,” highlighted Alfredo Castresana after the Copa del Rey quarterfinal draw this Friday that paired them with RC Celta.
The manager did not give much importance to having avoided teams like FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid because they are going to have to play “with all the teams.” “It's going to be very complicated, we are already very powerful teams and if we want to go to the end we will have to face all of them,” he said.
Finally, regarding the duel with Celta, he recalled that they will play in Balaídos this Saturday in LaLiga EA Sports and three days later in the cup duel. “They are two very close games that can mark that curious circumstance that we play with them tomorrow and we will play again next week and we are going to get to know each other a lot in these two games,” he pointed out.
