The coach said that they are clear about what “must be done”, that to win they will need “everything from everyone at all times” and that the contribution of the players who come off the bench “will be very important in the face of the tie” .
“We believe in what we do and we go for them with the determination necessary to compete to the fullest. If this Granada and these players have something, it is that you have to believe in them to the maximum ”, he stressed.
