Imanol
Sheriff warns that “we are going to leave life and we will go to death”, in the match that tomorrow faces his team, Real Sociedad, with Sevilla, although he reveals that “we are devastated”. The coach maintains that “what matters least to me is achieving the objective”, which is to qualify for the Europa League, because he is pleased with the “how” his team is doing things. He has also taken advantage to highlight what he considers “injustices” against his team in the form of arbitrations and less rest time that have been able to subtract “three or four points” from Real only in the nine games after confinement. In addition, he expects Sevilla as always despite having reached his goal of qualifying for the Champions League.
“We do not make excuses, but we are the team that has had the least time to rest“Regrets the Real coach, who states that”we have two games in four days against the two best post-confinement teams, Sevilla and Atlético de Madrid, which are two Miuras” To illustrate the phrase that “we are devastated”, he states that “we are based on meat of bull, wild boar and thoroughbred. There is no other way to recover and for these players to compete. ”
The downside of inexperience
Do you think the Real part “with a terrible handicap”With respect to teams like Madrid, Sevilla or Atlético, that“are used to playing high-level games every three days” The coach also lists other reasons for launching that statement as “how young we are” and “the things that have happened to us” after the confinement, referring to “own and others' mistakes”.

For all this, he suffers to make the line-ups and the calls, considering the high number of injured and touched and the inexperience: “You cannot imagine what it means for Zubimendi, Aihen or Zaldua to play every three days and do it to qualify to go to Europe”. And it is that in his opinion, “We have to leave our skin on the field to get the victories and that supposes a terrible physical and mental fatigue” He also reveals that the other day he risked aligning Isak and Monreal, who were at the limit in the physical chapter and did not know if they were going to be able to hold it, and that he will continue to “take risks”.
Achieving the goal is what worries me least; what worries me the most is the how. That makes me feel satisfied
With four more points against Sevilla and Atlético, Real will secure seventh place and may even be fifth, but Imanol insists that “achieving the goal is what worries me least” He warns that “we are going to leave life and go to death“To beat both games, but make it clear that” what worries me the most is the how. That makes me feel satisfied“
A good season, whatever happens
Imanol judges that “whatever happens, the year will be good” The technician lists the brilliant first round of the team, having reached the Cup final and “the illusion and the atmosphere that we have generated”, to praise the merit of Real, so “nor would it be the worst years if we were eighth or ninth, with everything we have lived through and has happened to us” And is that the oriotarra says that after the break “there have been many injustices”Against his team, in the form of detrimental arbitrations and less rest time than his opponents. In his opinion, these injustices “have made us have fewer points than we have” It considers that, evaluating only the nine post-confinement parties, “this team could have three or four more points”
Imanol classifies Sevilla as a “terribly competitive” team, which will come to Donostia to win, like every game: “It is not the same to be third than fourth. They are going to want to win the last two games. And Atlético, the same ”. The Real's coach relates that “Tomorrow I hope for Sevilla as always, who tries to dominate and goes for the rival, the one who is able to get together to go against the counter if he is ahead, the one who knows how to suffer even putting Ocampos as a goalkeeper”
I look forward to Sevilla as always; it is not the same to be fourth than third
