Vicente Parras, Alcoyano coach, has acknowledged that he would have liked Real Madrid to have beaten Athletic yesterday and that on Sunday he won the title of the Spanish Super Cup thinking about the tie that his team has on Wednesday against the Whites in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.
“Since they have been left unable to fight for the first title of the season, They will be for few jokes and no confusion, so it is not good for us. Personally, I preferred that they had won the Super Cup and to come calmer and more relaxed to play against us“, explained the technician.
Parras, who is in his second season at Alcoyano and who was promoted from Third to Second B last season, is aware of the difficulty of the tie. “At some point the difference in category should be noticed. We are going to try to exploit our options that I don't know if they are many or few, we will have some. What I am convinced of is that We will have our opportunity and if we know how to take advantage of it, let's see what happens“, he pointed out.
Alcoyano reaches this tie in its best moment of the season after accumulate seven games without losing, five leagues and two in the Copa del Rey, including victory over Huesca that cost the Huesca team elimination. Vicente Parras' only regret is the absence of the public in El Collao, the mythical fiefdom of Alcoyano that saw his team in the First Division, as the city of Alcoy was closed on the perimeter due to the incidence of the pandemic. “It's a shame that there aren't people on the pitch, I'm sure that with our fans in the stands Real Madrid would have suffered a lot“, has highlighted.
