Rubi: “Continuity must be the way”

Joan Francesc Ferrer Sicilia (Vilasar de Mar, 1970) already looks like coach of Almería. After its first two sessions, both behind closed doors in the Mediterranean, on the afternoon of this Thursday has been presented to the media (via telematics) by the general director of the rojiblanca entity, Mohamed El Assy. Despite not having given any clues in his first hours as an indálico trainer, Rubi advocates continuity and not revolution. “The one who knows the players best is the coach who has been with them for a long time. Continuity should be the way,” explained the new Almería coach.

“It's a complicated task, you have to be clear about the information to give the team in three days. I can't change seventy things, I can drive the player crazy. We will take advantage of what works and we will seek to reinforce some concept of defensive strength, “continued a Rubi who has not yet avoided direct promotion.”The team has options. If we don't succeed, we will try to secure the best position in the play-off. We will work tirelessly, there will not be a minute without a fight. I detect the anxiety to get to First, but the first thing is to set the path to achieve it. My message is clear: Oviedo, do not speculate“, has exposed in a realistic message, with Mallorca to six units and the difference of goals particular for the vermilion.

With a contract until June 2023, the Vilasarense is aware that not ascending is a more than real situation, to which he would adapt. “It is an exciting challenge, I can help the club grow. In the event that promotion is not achieved, I am in a team with very good arguments to achieve it“, he asserted before leaving a few strokes of what he intends.” My mentality is to help as much as possible to correct certain defensive aspects and have arguments to attack. We are going to be ambitious, without giving up that the player shows his virtues. I want us to propose and score goals, taking care of the defense. You have to help the team mentally so that it is as strong as possible. We want you to increase your confidence and increase your game. You have to be a good psychologist. Almería has many good things and they have to be reinforced“Said the new rojiblanco coach, in contact with Al-Sheikh.” Turki has given me a warm welcome. Is a man who he goes out of his way for the club and has told me to get to work from anda “, has recognized.

Before Rubi appeared as a rojiblanco coach, The Assy has thanked José Gomes for his work, explaining that his dismissal occurred for moving away from direct promotion. “The reason for his dismissal is that our objective agreed with him was direct promotion and in the last few weeks we have drifted away“, said the Egyptian. The right hand has clarified that the rojiblanco club has only negotiated with Rubi.

“We were looking for him because of his resume, it has always met the objectives set and is adapted to the category. We have only negotiated with him, with no one else. It is the one that can best be adapted to the players we have and the game we do. Even if we don't go up, it will continue with us. It is not a new strategy. If it had not been this coach, we would not have offered this contract, “said the Egyptian, who sent a wink to Mallorca. “We want to send a message to the television of Mallorca, who is following us: with the new coach, anything is possible, “he said with a mischievous smile.
