On Newcastle’s interest in him: “I really don’t know anything”
MADRID, 1 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Villarreal CF coach Unai Emery has assured that they are focused on solving the bad moment the team is going through, especially in LaLiga Santander, and they want to repeat the triumph over Young Boys in the Champions League to catch air in Europe and, incidentally, also in the domestic competition.
“We have a long history, I think that the club, the team and this coaching staff too, we are concerned to solve this bad moment, and we do it with enthusiasm and wanting to do things well,” he said at a press conference.
In addition, he assured that the president, Fernando Roig, gives them “peace of mind.” “He always gives it to us from reflection and with a broad outlook. The idea is to make the bad streaks short and the good ones long, so we seek to cut this bad streak now,” he added.
“If we win tomorrow we will be second and we could be first, in addition to being able to take down the Young Boys. We focus on this game and we must seek not to have errors as we are having and with that to be able to break the bad dynamics in which we are in LaLiga “, he added in this regard.
And they will try to do it with the “utmost respect” to the Young Boys. “If they beat us, they pass us by. We have to play a complete game to win them again. We have to seek continuity of what we did there and make a living looking for our best performances,” he argued.
“Now we have to enjoy tomorrow’s game, to prepare it. We want to enjoy the game with the fans. The Estadio de la Cerámica is our home, it should be our temple, it should be where we meet to carry out the games with the drive of all “, he stressed.
A help, that of the fans, which would go well in the “constant search” for confidence. “Confidence is what marks how a footballer and the team can be on the field. And with mistakes, confidence is lower. But there are opportunities for you to recover it,” he said.
On the other hand, asked about the alleged interest of Newcastle of the Premier League in taking over his services, he was blunt: “The truth is that I don’t know anything.” The ‘magpie’ team is without a coach and the new owners are looking for a ‘captain’ for their new millionaire project.
PINO: “WE ARE FUCKED BUT WE WANT”
For his part, forward Yéremi Pino did not hide that the team is “screwed.” “The truth is that we are screwed but wanting to save this situation and win again. Last year we already went through some bumps and what we must do is work together to change this dynamic,” he said.
“This game can bring us closer to qualifying and also give us a boost in morale. But there it was a tough game, they have very fast players and they are very clear about what they have to do,” he added, in this sense.
Pino added that no game is easy in the top continental competition. “This is the ‘Champions’ and no game is easy, we know that each game is like a final, but we have the quality to beat anyone,” he claimed.
