Imanol: “We want to make history and for that we have to win the final”

Imanol Alguacil faces tomorrow's final with three clear commandments: “Enjoy, fight and enter history.” The coach txuri urdin wants to “enter the history of the Real” by winning the third Cup and for this he is clear that they must abstract from the responsibility of playing this final 33 years later in order to “enjoy” and have the “personality” enough to be able to be themselves.

I hope we have enough personality to be ourselves

The one from Orio faces the game “after so many years without playing a final wanting to enjoy themselves.” From there, the coach faces this moment with the will to “fight. We want to enter the history of the Real and for that we have to win ”.

Apart from being a coach, I'm a fan but I get along well

The coach txuri urdin admits that the scenario for him has a “complicated” point since “apart from being a coach I am a fan” but, emotions aside, he admits that “I have handled it well. “I am very proud of what this team has done in the last two years. He has done something very great: to unite the fans with the team ”And that translates into all the messages of encouragement. “Seeing all the messages received from all over Gipuzkoa makes me feel proud”, assures an Imanol who, while claiming that “we have done something great”, does not stop there. “We want to make history in this great club and for that we have to win the final.”

Athletic, with both Gaizka Garitano and Marcelino, has been doing well for two years, like us

The Real coach foresees a match between two teams that “are in a good moment” but not only now. He believes that Athletic, both with “Gaizka Garitano and with Marcelino, have had two very good years, as we have done”. Before that equality, Sheriff says that “let's see who comes out tomorrow with more personality because if we achieve that, we will achieve a lot.”

It is a pity that the public is not there but they will be our engine

Imanol's greatest regret is that “our audience is not here because“ we have not played a final for 33 years ”but he wanted to make it clear to the fans that“ all the messages received in these last two weeks have been impressive and that they will be ours engine”.
