Sanction: “They let me sit down today. For the coach it is better to be close to the players, that if they pay you a little attention it is from the bench, otherwise they don't do any of you. I can't speak much because after they have scored four games for me. give an opinion, well I can't speak. But with everything that is heard every day, not only in football but in life in general, that they score me four games for giving an opinion, it seems unheard of. they do, they will have their reasons. It will still seem totally unfair to me. “
Game script: “We and everyone know that Barcelona is not a team that usually crosses a lot of balls, it is a team that likes to go inside with many walls. We had to close ourselves and leave open in case they wanted to center because we have tall people and we can defend those centers, but we had to close a lot from the inside and do it far back, almost like a handball match. From my point of view and with the little knowledge I have, the way they did not mark us was like this. Winning against Barcelona starts because they don't mark you. At the edge of the area we have done what we had prepared during the week.
How to convince players: “What convinces the players are the results. If I ask them to do this, but the results are not good, I do not convince them or anyone. I think there are certain games that have to be played like this. Still, we have been able to score some more goals, which are the ones they have been able to score too “
Objective: “We want to save ourselves so that next year, if possible, people will come”
Cervera: “We have come out to defend in order to beat Barcelona.”
The coach analyzed his team's victory against Barcelona in the press room and gave the keys to it.
Match balance: “The game happened because they didn't get ahead and defend well. We thought that if we won it would be because they would not score. What they like is to go inside, a lot of wall, Messi behind… they don't like to center a lot of balls, that's why we have left the sides open and close on the inside. I know it seems simple, but if you don't defend Barcelona like that, they'll give you many chances to score. They've had theirs, but we've had ours. We went out to defend to be able to win because I thought it was the best way to do it ”.
Claim your game: “I would like my teams to be able to deal with all the teams as you to you, but at the moment we cannot. Atleti gave us four and they could have been more, just like La Real. My mission is that Cádiz is saved and the idea in these games is like that. It so happens that the games in which we have defended the best we have won, and in which we have attacked best we have lost. You have to defend Barcelona well in order to beat them, because they are very good. Getting to the penalty spot can be avoided ”.
Equipment roof: “No game is the same as this one. We knew that the premise was to defend. Sometimes we penalize ourselves because we do not have the virtues that others have when attacking. The roof of the team are the points for salvation. Let no one imagine anything else. We have just gone up and our ceiling is to maintain the category ”.
Merit: “It belongs to everyone. From Cadiz and Cádiz. I know that what I convey to the players sometimes sounds strange to them, but they have to listen to me for now. We are lucky to have 18 points and have won. If you lose credibility you lose. The next game they will surely listen to me after the victory ”.
18% possession: “Barcelona need possession of the ball to win. There are teams that need it because their players control and pass, they carry it, that's why they cost so much money. With the long ball and the speed does not give them. We do not need possession of the ball, because it is not easy. You have to have players who know how to play two or one touch. I am not against possession, I am against teams that impose possession knowing that they cannot carry it out. Our team doesn't need possession. “
Feelings after victory: “I don't feel anything, but I remember that before starting the game they reminded me that four years ago we were in Jumilla and we drew 0-0. Today we are here against Barcelona and we have beaten them 2-1. I feel that life is going forward in football as we want ”.
