The coach of S. D. Eibar, José Luis Mendilibar, thanked this Friday for the confidence that this week has publicly shown him the club's CEO, Jon Ander Ulazia, although he has said to be aware that football “results rule”
“There will also be times,” he pointed out, “when you say those things and the following week, or after ten days you go to the streets, because football goes with the results and that is so. If the result is not good it is worth nothing. Grateful for the trustFrom what he has said, here on a day-to-day basis, but knowing that the results rule. “
Mendilibar andHe explained that he also perceives this confidence in his squad, with whom he has spoken and with whom he has agreed that it is the coaching staff and the players who have to carry out the objective of preserving the category.
“Now a year ago we have been much worse to the confinement of what we are now, And we got ahead with many more problems than we have now, I think they are the ones who know that we cannot change the idea of football, which is what has gone well for us and with what we can move this forward, “he added.
The Zaldibar coach I trust that this Sunday's game against Villarreal in Ipurua is a turning point and that they can benefit from the fact that the Castellón team played a tough match against Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine.

He predicted a “tough” match, given that Villarreal It is also difficult for him to win in LaLiga in the last days and he said that to defeat them Eibar will have to try to “impose” a “strong rhythm” from the beginning.
Mendilibar pointed out that they will not give up their pressure style above, although in the last weeks they are not following the results.
“I think we have a way of playing – concluded the gunsmith coach – and in those six years that I have been here, the tactics have been changed, in how you go out on the pitch, but that will not change the style, the shape and what we want to dor. Sometimes we have done better than others, but I am convinced that if we change that style we will be worse off than we are now. “
