Sensations on his return to La Rosaleda. “The feeling is the same as the one we talked about the other day, but now it doesn’t matter, we are focused on the game, against a rival who has things very clear, who scores a lot of goals and is a great team. But we have our weapons. With the enthusiasm with which the boys trained, with the motivation, with the people, the desire with which they worked… I’m sure we’ll compete”.
Your first sensations. “The week was very good from the first training session, with a lot of intensity, everyone committed to the cause. Very happy with the job. It’s difficult for them to assimilate what you want in so few training sessions, but that’s no excuse, you have to go out and compete. It’s a very difficult match.”
Expectation. “It’s Malaguismo, not me. I know they do not fail, I have it clear. Of course La Rosaleda can have an influence, we’ve seen it hundreds of times. Encourage, support no matter what happens, and continue to support. It is what touches. It’s not because of me, it’s Malaguismo. In these situations he always turns.
Lead. “I don’t know if Loren will play. They’re not going to get a confirmation from me. I’m not going to comment on her. I’m seeing him very well, he scored a great goal in training and I repeat the same thing from Monday. If we’re going to depend on a boy from 19 years would be harming him. He’s a good footballer and we have to take that into account, but that’s it”.
Have you decided on the lineup? “I don’t have any doubts, it was very clear to me since Monday how I was going to play tomorrow’s game. I’m going to change during the games, or not… (Laughter). It depends on the progress of the game, on the lineup they put on. I had no doubts since Monday when we got together with Bravo and Capa to propose the match, the three of us agreed. Let’s see if what we want comes out.”

headdresses. “We cannot count on any of them” (referring to Lombán, Cufré, Jairo, Hicham, Chavarría, Juande and Luis Muñoz).
Problems with the goal. “It is difficult to answer. It is not the ‘you have’ to put here and the ‘you put’ there. You have to try to generate a little more, the good thing is that they have it. Both Brandon and Antoñín, Adrián Sekou, Roberto… They have a goal, it’s true that we’re not hitting it right in front of goal, but this is more and better, I don’t know any other way. Train more and better, create more and better occasions. We cannot lower our arms because of a mistake. I failed it, because next time I put it. It is the way”.
What atmosphere do you expect? “No pressure, happiness to see La Rosaleda full, happiness”.
Kevin. “He’s a young player. You have to know how to lead youngsters. I really like the dynamism he has. We have a lot of very good guys, we have to lead them so they don’t make mistakes. Kevin can help us a lot, wherever we play He is an unbalanced player, I like him.”
Will Dani Martín or Dani Barrio play? “I give you the name, Dani (laughs). Last name? See you later.”
Sekou. “Very well, there is not one of those who were on the field with a complaint. Not good, brilliant attitude. Sekou had to stay out because he was not going to see a player who was not going to count this Sunday. It is not pleasant to leave a player out” (Sekou will not play due to the fear clause imposed by Valladolid).
Contact with the fans. “I went with my son to dinner one day, I couldn’t enjoy contact with Malaguismo. I’ll wait for next week. I’m here until 10, then I’ll be back…”
Valladolid “It’s a complicated game, but we have to be very clear about our objective. We win and lose the other three and the ghosts come back. We need to win, the team needs it. I wouldn’t talk about ghosts. We are 6-7 teams in there. You have to go later with Leganés, Eibar, Tenerife… Week after week. It’s the way we are in this period, we can only care about Saturday. This Saturday and nothing else. On Sunday we recover and we’ll see how the next one. Our work must be firm, go forward.”
game features. “I would like not to comment on the main lines, I don’t want to say anything about tomorrow’s game. Everyone knows how I like to play and face each game. I prefer not to say if we get behind or press… But there is something that I don’t It is negotiated, which is the attitude and intensity, I told the players, the running, the scoring… That with a shirt like this must always be implicit. Whether he plays or not, is called up or not, the player must support”.
Preparation. “I can tell you that I did know how Valladolid plays. I watch a lot of football. Both Capa, Bravo, Julio… The ones I chose to be with me. Since Monday I discussed how we were going to play the game, it was simplified for us because the four We thought the same. They are the ones who have been here for years and that is super important.”
Feelings. “A lot of emotions and working a lot. Trying to hide those emotions. There were a lot of things together, very fast and in a short time. But let’s not forget the most important thing. The stadium, the dressing room, that they sing… but on Saturday there is to win. It’s a situation where I didn’t have much time. I had a meal with people I really love from the club, a couple of hours I relaxed, and the arrival is that there are a lot of mixed feelings. I asked if there was a room to sleep here instead of going to the hotel. This stadium is spectacular for me”.
Meetings with the players. “I spoke to almost everyone, I explained to them that I didn’t have time this week, that I had been unfair to some, but I spoke to the vast majority. I’m not going to tell you.
Brandon’s losing streak with the goal. “The Brandon thing doesn’t bother me. It is not an obsession, the one who could put it in was Brandon, if we put it in more times he will put it in. I talked to almost everyone.”
Mood of the template. “They have conveyed frustration to me, that we are doing things well and we do not have the victory prize, I will summarize it there. That brings you to the mood. It is that the team is seen to have many good things. But you also need to have that bit of luck to define a shot or not lose it in a moment. That is eluding us. The Girona thing was not to lose, but it is lost. What do we have to do in order to win? It’s what you ask. If we do things so well and we don’t win, that’s a burden. But I saw an excellent predisposition to work. That is the way, it is the important thing, that the player does not throw in the towel, none of them gave that symptom. On the contrary, they are with that poison of reversing things”.
match proposal. “It is essential not to stay with 10. This generates more momentum and aggressiveness. We have to go strong, but with a head. If not it will be much more complicated. I’m clear, but I’m not going to say.”
‘Guedeneta proposed by the fans “Let them do whatever they want. Let’s fill the field, win and get on wherever. We have games left in which we have to go to the death. It’s the most important thing.”
