Manu García: “We want to get rid of the bad taste in our mouths”

Things are not going well for Javi Calleja's team, which has had two consecutive home defeats and he has only got one goal, from a penalty, from Joselu Mato. One of the good news of this start of the campaign has been, without a doubt, the role played by Manu García Alonso, a player who had a fleeting step when Pellegrino was training the team and who has now taken the stripes in the midfield.

“He's a great player, I love him,” Calleja himself has said about him. He has talent and quality, great vision of the game and the ability to filter passes to the wings or the most advanced players. When he plays as a second pivot, together with Pina, he gets more out of his qualities but against Mallorca, he started in a three-quarter line and was missed in the boiler room, where the babazorro attack begins.

The Vitorian team plays this Friday at the Mestalla and García Alonso is clear that “it is a very complicated field and rival but we want to get rid of this bad taste in our mouths of the two consecutive defeats and we will try to bring the three points to Vitoria. I think that last Saturday we had several occasions to get ahead of our fans but they did not enter. We have to learn from mistakes and correct them so that what happened in the first two days would happen again. “He also admitted that” the expulsion of Rubén Duarte changed the whole game. “

The Almeria player saw the second yellow card in the 66th minute and left Alavés with ten troops. He will not be able to play against Valencia on Friday night so Javi López will be his alternative on the left wing. Martín Aguirregabiria could also play on foot changed. Saúl is a third option but he is on the starting ramp, as is Carlos Isaac. You have to release chips and, to a lesser extent, wage bill.
