There is no time to lose. In this way he has faced the week with the Mirandés squad together with his new coach Joseba Etxeberria. The Basque coach did not want to saturate his players with information, although he did make clear the style of play he wants to instill in the team. “You have to take advantage of the work very well, but without saturating. Every day we have been giving brushstrokes. We are clear about how we want the team to play. It is a group with great potential that is having more problems without than with the ball. The talent is very good and you have to translate it into a competitive mentality.”stands out.
Stopping the bleeding of conceded goals is the main headache that has accompanied the wild boar team since the season began. An aspect of vital importance in the category that Etxeberria emphasized during his first week at the helm of the team: “The issue of systems is something relative. We are clear with which we will play. There will be changes with respect to what was being played , but we take it naturally. We have tried to transmit what we want in daily work and adjust the defensive mechanisms that allow us to be more reliable”.
The coach from Gipuzkoa and his second Jorge Pérez attach great importance to the preparatory sessions and it is that in the end the game is played as it is trained. “Our demand is maximum because we want to train like this to compete. The response has been good. There have been group talks and with some individuals, but to get information and be clear about how we want to play, “he adds.
Phone call to Iraola
Before assuming the reins of Mirandés, Joseba Etxeberria had a conversation with the former rojillo coach, Andoni Iraola, in the 2019/20 campaign. They were teammates at Athletic Club and since then they have been united by a great friendship: “Who better than him to give me all the possible information. It is no coincidence that Mirandés has been doing things well for so long. I am very happy with the reception of the people. Now it’s up to us to perform on the pitch.”
the reds will hold the last training session tomorrow afternoon before embarking on a trip to Almería. “We will approach the game with a lot of respect for the rival. He has recovered his best level again after a small bump. If we are good, we can beat any team. The demand will be maximum, but we will go with ambition. We will go for the match from the beginning”, he points out.
