Javi Calleja debuts tomorrow at San Mamés as Alavés coach. The Madrid coach, with a past at Villarreal, took over the babazorra squad at the beginning of the week. His debut on the Albiazul bench will be in a derby.
“I have found a very positive atmosphere and I am very happy with these first training sessions. Usually when a new coach arrives there is a reaction”Said Calleja at a press conference
The new Alavés coach assures that “the team is very involved and involved” and encourages his team to be positive and optimistic “. Calleja still thinks that the salvation of the babazorro team, bottom of Primera, is possible. “After seeing them train this week I am even more convinced”, He argues.
Regarding Athletic, he considers that “they form a team that is not going to play two Cup finals by chance”, but he preferred to focus his speech on Alavés. “I want a winning team, competitive, that looks like it is going to go for the three points and that does not speculate. I want it to transmit and have a soul. I'm looking for a brave block that has resources with the ball and more initiative ”.
