Oliveira he is being one of the outstanding footballers of Eibar. The Portuguese has become the leader of the gun defense and his performances are being remarkable. Without going any further, in the last one he assisted Esteban Burgos with a spur pass, saved a goal on the same line and starred in the action in which the referee first signaled a penalty that he would end up canceling after consulting the VAR. This is undoubtedly his best season.
“Yes, people tell me and the numbers say yes. I feel good, I feel important and that is good for the player to get the best out of his game, “he acknowledges. Oliveira that, despite everything, advocates caution. “In football, everything is timing. Today I feel very good, but if the next game something happens to you, you have to have the maturity to think that you are not bad because of the game you played. You have to keep calm and know the qualities you have to respond ”.
On a collective level, Eibar has reached this break away from relegation: “The feeling is that we have done good things and others not so much,” says the Portuguese. “More or less we are in the same line in which we have been in the last years”.
Our idea is to keep what we do outside and return to the Eibar that we used to be at home
His balance at home is surprising: “Yes, in the end we have added seven points away and two at home when in recent years it has usually been the other way around. Like the issue of the pandemic, the lack of our people has to do with it. Our idea is to keep what we do abroad and return to the Eibar that we used to be at home. If we are able to do that, we will be calmer, “he says.
Ensures Oliveira that, despite everything, they are already used to playing without an audience and passing all the controls required by the pandemic: “We have been around for nine months now, we know more or less the subject and, like everything, you get used to it. It is not easy, but in life you have to continue. We are privileged because at the level of control I have doubts that there is a sector with more control than us. We miss people and life as it was before, but you have to have a little patience and everything will be fine ”.
Believe Oliveira that we are facing the most even League since it arrived in 2017: “More and more they are going to look for points where in theory it is more difficult,” he says. “It is a very competitive league.”
