Pozo: “Football gives you a second chance and this doesn’t escape us”

With 3086 minutes in the league, Pozo is the Almería outfield player most used by Rubi. The Sevillian ensures that the dressing room has already turned the page of the hammer blow against Alcorcón, now seeking to materialize promotion in Butarque, in a new opportunity that football gives them. “We have to take it as one more, correcting the mistakes of Saturday and taking advantage of them to turn it around, going out at full speed to try to win. The whole team has an incredible desire for Sunday to arrive”, points to the right-hand side, which highlights the hunger of the red and white booth. There is a tremendous desire, this week is going to be long again and as the team is young, with the desire to do great things, we disconnect quickly and go to death. We have to go out like against Burgos or Real B: keeping a clean sheet, which would be a big step throughout the match because we usually have clear chances. I hope they go inside, “she exposes.

Pozo sees the glass as half full, staying with the fact that Almería depends on itself to be among the first two. “From the outside you could see that Saturday was a game to win easily, but in front of us there was a very tough rival with incredible desire. We are all human and on Saturday we did not have the day. Thanks to the work throughout the season we will have another bullet on Sunday, we would all have signed for the direct promotion on the last day”, it states. “We know that the Second Division is very complicated, even if you come last and relegated. You cannot despise any rival and we tried to normalize everything external that was being experienced, but we were not fine and we went home very screwed. On Sunday there is another opportunity to win and that this direct ascent does not escape us”, he continues.

“The night of the game and the next day we were screwed, angry to have it in our hands at home to show the fans that the team deserved it in front of our people. It was very nice, it wasn’t like that and we had to disconnect. Now we really want to kill ourselves in Butarque. At five in the morning I looked at the ceiling for no reason and without believing it. It was a very hard blow, but football gives you a second chance and it is this week. From Sunday this is not escape”, continues the Sevillian, with his mind on the ‘1’ and not on an ‘X’ that could also give promotion. “We have to go out to win, without thinking about what the rivals are doing. When the end is near and depending on the result, he will ask himself. We are among the best visitors in the category and it depends on us if we get the three points”, he explains.

Analyzed the errors of Saturday, shows maximum respect for Leganés. “Name by name they have a First team. Last year they were on top and two years ago in First. It will not make things easy and we have to take off that pressure of thinking that we have direct promotion three points away, but rather think that it is one more and sure we will achieve the goal. They are saved and they are letting go, players play who have not had many minutes and want to show. It will be a two-way match and hopefully he will fall on our side.”comments about it, lamenting how hard the direct ascent is being this course. “Normally at this point with 80 points in previous years you would have already promoted, but this year Segunda is one of the most competitive in Europe, with three teams separated by two points and anything can happen. That’s the beauty, hopefully one of those two teams is us because we’ve been fighting all year, “he expires.
