Is the idea to keep the performance of the Champions League in LaLiga?
It is a home game in which we need all three points. They played a great game here last season and they are sure to defend well.
Dest is for 90 minutes?
We will make the decision tomorrow. He had discomfort and today he is better.
Will the salary cut help to sign or would it be nuna contradiction?
You have to see the situation. For the love of the club you have to help him. I already told Tusquets that if I could help I would do it and the players have done it. We have to think of the best for the club.
If Sergiño cannot play, who can occupy the right back?
It will have to be discussed. It is not necessary to discuss it now.
Will you meet with the candidates to request signings?
The most normal thing is to speak in an internal key. Then if you ask, we'll see.
Is it important to rotate this year?
In Kiev we gave a great image and with a great rhythm of the game. Clearly COVID influences injuries and we need more players and in certain positions we are limited. We have had bad luck with Ansu and Piqué. Sergi Roberto is less time, but also important.
How is Messi after the Kiev break?
He had a good rest like Frenkie de Jong. They had played it all. We need you fast tomorrow. Regarding Maradona, the Argentines are affected more, but hopefully it is to demonstrate the quality on the field.
After 100 days, what grade would you give and the team?
I leave my note to you. I aspire to work at a delicate moment. I have had 100 calmer days in other clubs, but I am very happy. If there is a moment to react. that's today. You have to shorten the gap with your rivals.
Why a different team in LaLiga and in the Champions League?
It has been difficult for us to play against such defensive teams. In Champions the attack is more played. At the end of the season we will see it better. The confidence of the victory against Juve helped us.
How do you see Carles Aleñá?
He is a young player that the change of system has penalized him, but he has improved a lot to be a pivot for this team. It has gone from inside to pivot.
Is it a time to play with four forwards?
What we have to create is opportunities. The wings go up and those in the middle of the field help. We have always been offensive.
Do you see Mingueza as the headline?
I'll tell the players first. He has many options to play because we are very limited in defense. Tomorrow we decide.
Do we have to improve in the strategy plays?
We attach great importance to set pieces. We don't have many tall players. It is difficult to score on set pieces because the rival is usually better than us.
What did Maradona mean to you?
I played against him once. He was at Sevilla and he did a lot of things in the warm-up. I stayed longer looking at him than warming up.
Where does the team need to improve the most?
If there is high intensity we are very good, but sometimes we go down and get distracted. We need more intensity.
What is Dest's specific problem?
It's not serious, he trained today. He arrived very tired from Kiev and had discomfort and we do not want to risk because we have many injuries. If it is good, it will play, if not, we will not risk it.
