Iraola: “We play the playoff and at home we have to defend what is ours”

Vital match: “We are risking the playoff position against Ponferradina, which is one point away. We have been in those positions for many days and we do not want to lose them. Being aware that it will be difficult because they are well. Already in the first round they were superior and managed to beat us. Last year here in Vallecas they also did it. We have to do things very well to beat them. “

Analysis of the rival: “It is a team that puts a lot of intensity in the duels, they are very winners in second plays, they are very good in transitions, in the end with Yuri at the top they have the danger of being caught in loss situations, from set pieces they are also dangerous. .. There are many things to watch out for so that they do not get close to the goal, something that would make the game difficult for us as it has happened in recent years. “

Bad starts: “We have been talking about that for a long time. We are doing better second halves than the first and the first ones mark more the development of the match. It is always important to start well, even more so against rivals like Ponferradina. It can be similar to the shock of Tenerife , with very close lines … If you start losing everything gets complicated “.

Winning at home again: “Without a doubt, we must recover what we have been in Vallecas during the first round. We have been reliable. The last two defeats in our fiefdom have hurt us. We all want to win again. Our people are not present in a literal way But we do feel that when we play at home we have to defend what is ours. Getting that back is important. “
