Juan Carlos Carcedo, coach of UD Ibiza, appeared this Friday at a press conference for this Sunday's game against Eibar (14 hours in Ipurúa). The coach of the celestial knows that it is increasingly difficult to stay without losing (They have not yet done it this season in the Second Division), but he is confident that the streak will continue in the Basque Country. “When you have a good dynamic, you hope to continue it, but you are also closer to losing it. You have to try to continue working as the team does and go with the humility that we have had since the beginning of the season, ”declared Carcedo. Therefore, he said that they are “with their feet on the ground” and without airs of greatness. “The moment we believe we are more than others they will give us and they will sink our chests,” he warned.
The Ibiza manager affirmed that his team will try to “put Eibar in difficulty”, knowing that the rival “plays at home” and is “one of the teams called to be at the top”. Furthermore, racknowledged that this week's opponent is already “on a roll” despite the fact that it “cost him a bit at first.”
For the Ibiza coach, the key that his team has not yet lost lies in the good work of his players. “The systems are not important, but the players are. I think (it is due to) the humility that we have been showing since the beginning of the season, we are trying to compete… We knew it was a league and a difficult competition. We wanted to see how we could deal with it. Each game for us is an illusion, a challenge, an ambition to stay one year in this SmartBank League, which is very complicated. I already tell you, that illusion and that desire that the players are putting in, ”said the islanders' manager.
It is clear that during the campaign they are going to have “bad spells” And now, with an October in which they will play six games, four of them out, the strength of the islanders will be measured. The first big obstacle, in this new month of competition, will be this Sunday in the fiefdom of Eibar.
Regarding the starting eleven, he did not give clues, but said that “the people who are playing are deserving to continue” because “they are doing very well.” “It is true that the people who are working to have those minutes also deserve those opportunities. We will watch each game, depending on the needs, the rival, how we are, what system we want to use … We will look to get the best for our team “, he stressed, to also point out that their staff” is broad “and” of quality “.
