The coach of the Real Valladolid, Sergio Gonzalez, has indicated this Thursday, in a telematic press conference, that he maintains his “positive feelings” and appeals to the “energy” and “commitment” of all to face “a difficult journey” in the thirteen league games that remain to be played .
The Catalan coach has acknowledged that “the blow” received by the team, after the draw against CelticIt was “strong” but they have “the ability to manage it, assimilate it and turn it around” and the objective has to be “to change the chip and put energy into being better than the others, at least, than three other teams.”
As recognized, the Real Valladolid receives “many lateral fouls”, which are those that have led to the set pieces goals of the last rivals, “and it is something that is being worked on and insisting”, not only with regard to the defensive set pieces, but also on the offensive.
Despite the fact that the team has accumulated eight days without winning, “victory is close” and they have “deserved it”, so it is confident that it will finally arrive this Saturday against Getafe, a team that “with the entry of Kubo and Aleñá have acquired other resources, but they have returned to 4-4-2, with the unmistakable stamp of Bordalás “.
“Getafe is a team that competes well, plays well with and without the ball, with a simple but effective game, which has pivots that cover a lot of space, two points -Mata and Ünal, both former Real Valladolid players- who give a lot, they appear , they jump, they are in the extensions, and physical bands that they internalize “, he has analyzed.
Therefore, they are clear about “what their strengths and weaknesses are”, hence they trust “to be able to stop them and do things well with the ball”, since they know that the Madrid team enters well from the outside, handles the change of orientation well and he presses at the exit of the ball “but” with courage and energy “he can” minimize “or cancel his proposal.
During the press conference, the goals that the Blanquivioleta team have received from set pieces have been heavily influenced “and it is becoming a great stigma, but it cannot and should not be like that,” said Sergio, who values the fact that keep working on it but without it becoming an obsession that cancels out the positive aspects.
In the face of this meeting, he recovers Waldo, who had the club's permission to withdraw last day, for personal reasons, and also Javi Sánchez, who “has done the last two sessions at a good level, but is not there yet. to start playing “, he specified.
In principle, it seems that Roberto will remain in goal, since with his presence he was looking for “a change in the team's inertia”, as he did previously, but considers that “it is fortunate to have two high-level goalkeepers” at the time to choose between one or the other.
In the opinion of the Real Valladolid coach “now the collective aspect is being prioritized more than the individual, to act as a united group, since there is a common objective for all, which is to achieve permanence, and it is something in which we all have to participate, parking those individualities that are common in football. “
Sergio is aware that “quality games have been played to achieve the victory” and they are going for him against Getafe because, in addition, “there is a long and difficult career ahead, and the one who recovers before the blows he is going to receive, the more options you will have to ensure permanence “, he concluded.
