Aritz Elustondo, one of the heavyweights of the Real Sociedad squad, has appeared in the Zubieta press room to analyze the final stretch of the league, with Europe on the horizon, starting with Granada's visit to the Reale Arena this Friday.
They notice that they lack spark. “It is difficult when you have little rest to assimilate that you have to play every four days, it is true that we are talking that we feel tired and we realize that we lack that spark that we had at other times of the season, but we must Keep in mind that we have an opponent in front and we are mentally and morally very focused on the fact that the three points against Granada cannot escape us. “
Less rest than its rivals. “I could say that it is very unfair and that we think it is good, but the schedule is set like this and we have no choice but to get to the best of each game. It is a little unfair to have 48 hours less rest but we cannot focus on that and make that excuse. We feel tired, it's true, but we have to focus on getting the games out without excuses. “
Staff youth. “In the end the eleven that we went out to the field is because the coach really sees them ready to play, regardless of age. We were convinced to compete and get the game going. It's a shame that you get ahead and tied so soon, We must make the point against Levante good, beating Granada “.
Do not raise your voice. “We could get here to talk about everything we have suffered, refereeing errors, little rest, our mistakes … raise our voices and say something for having less rest; but we don't have to give it more thought, because I don't think we will achieve anything Speaking, I don't think anything will change.

I have already seen videos to be prepared and it cannot happen again. I am not happy, but I have to turn it around as soon as possible “.
Complicated matches. “In all games it is difficult to win and create chances. Errors are condemning us, because they annoy you and you do not like to be involved, and the first one that must turn it around is me and it cannot happen again. I am very psyched to turn it around as soon as possible. “
Arguments to believe that you can enter Europe. “We depend on ourselves, in the end we have that small advantage with the one behind. We are aware that as much as the games we have played have not been the best, but we are convinced that we can do it and that we are capable of changing what we've done, we look at each other in the locker room and we know we're capable. “
