Iraola: “Falcao is going to be out due to some discomfort in the quadriceps”

Demanding week with little rest: “We have three games practically in six days before Christmas. The coaches always say that the next game is the most important. We are thinking about Villarreal, which has an important complexity. From there we will begin to think about the following. He The team is doing well, we had a good week of training. Tomorrow we will know if it has served any purpose “.

Powerful Villarreal attack, plan to stop it ?: “This year few teams have been able to choose almost the plan against Villarreal because it is super dominating. By statistics it is one of those that has more ball and plays more in rival field. Its position in the table is merely circumstantial. It arrives a lot, it is doing well things … Probably it is not having the efficiency in completion that it is going to have. The incorporation of Gerard Moreno will give them that extra. We caught them doing well after their move to the second round of the Champions League. The two teams are in a good moment”.

Strong points of this Villarreal that does not finish starting in the League: “There are a lot of things, of options, with a very long squad. They have players with a very good footing on the inside. Even marks the differences out there. And up there they have a lot of speed possibilities. Knowing all the good that they have, we must think about us. In the phases in which we dominate we must try to hurt them. We succeeded in the last outing at Mestalla, that they also worried about running backwards and it was played at a pace that suits us well. “

The delay of the Champions League match, how can it affect ?: “It is not an issue that will physically affect the meeting at all. Last week it was our turn to have one less day to prepare the appointment and this is their turn. It is more the day of training that you lose, not because physically go to notice “.

Falcao, one hundred percent ?: “We have Merquelanz’s long-term absence and Radamel’s because in the post-match Espanyol had a muscular discomfort in the quadriceps. We will see his evolution and when we can recover it. Nteka and Ciss already had minutes the other day. normal for this time of season. “
