Alvaro Cervera, coach of the Cadiz, you have no doubt that the
Atlético de Madrid
, his team's next rival, is one of the most difficult to face, if not the most difficult.
The Valencian coach had words of praise for the rojiblanco team. “He is the leader, the strongest, the most reliable, the one who receives the fewest goals,” he began by saying that right now his whole headache is “thinking about him. Athletic and analyze what it does wrong, if it does something … that there are none ”.
“We train to face the game with guarantees and have our options,” he explained. For him, the key is “to play a long game.” “As in most matches and in this one a little more, than the Athletic do not mark us soon, let the game be long, “he said to indicate that then” there will be some possibility. ” “If they mark us early, with the reliability they have behind, it will force us to do things that we should not and it will be more complicated,” he said.
“I would like to see that we compete well. The match of Seville it left us very bad feeling. But there was half an hour, until they scored, in our way he left us something. I hope a formed team that does more damage than it does. We know that when we get to defend we do it well, but we have to do damage, be it from set pieces, with less touch … “, he said.
The coach analyzed the way he plays this Athletic. “Atlético has been playing with three behind for a long time. The right side is a lane and the left is a winger. They have changed but it is asymmetrical. It is pulled more to the left, where it attacks Carrasco. What they do is that they put three in the middle and two forwards. They get strong inside. Outside they have only one player but Llorente falls a lot to the extreme. They have it very well studied, they do it very well and the Athletic it is still the same or more reliable than before. Two points, three midfielders, Llorente very long haul. Three very reliable centrals. They do that very well. We have studied it, we will try to stop them. It is true that there are fewer players on the wing but they still have the same danger, “he said.
