The coach of the Real Valladolid, Sergio González, he warned this Thursday, in a telematic press conference, that they are facing the Saturday against Real Madrid with “illusion” and with the aim of “running, competing and looking for the three points”.
In this sense, he pointed out that, “identity has been lost against teams at the bottom of the table, but why is it not going to be possible to surprise a great one, play calmer and find ways of escape to generate doubts and have to run backwards “.
“It is not the designated match to achieve victory, but you do not know when it can be achieved, and the team knows that it is an opportunity to score three points, even if it's Real Madrid and they have a great team despite their casualties “, has specified the Catalan coach, who will lose for this match to Olaza, by penalty.
A] Yes, Marcos André, Raúl Carnero, Kiko Olivas, Hervías, Javi Sánchez and El Yamiq, will be casualties before the meringue box, while it recovers to Fede San Emeterio, Rubén Alcaraz, Joaquín and Óscar Plano, as reported.
It so happens that Sergio González will complete one hundred games with Real Valladolid against Real Madrid, an event that brings him “joy”, since he and his coaching staff came to the Blanquivioleta club “for eight games in the Second Division” that have been extended over time “in order to grow with the entity.”
“With all due respect to other coaches, such as Vicente Cantatore, José Luis Mendilibar is the script to follow in this club. He also went through delicate moments, but we hope to reverse this situation and have a long life with Real Valladolid, “he said.
Sergio has insisted, during the week, on the defensive plot, since it is where they “really” have the “must”, to “leave a clean sheet” and, based on that stability, of that united block, which does not provide spaces, ” to be able to generate occasions in the offensive plane “.
During the week they have been watching the last three Real Madrid games, the first round match and those of the previous season, to “reinforce the strengths, add something new and correct the mistakes “that prevented them from winning, despite having played a good game and having been competitive.
Although Real Madrid will arrive with casualties and with their mind set on the Champions League, the Real Valladolid coach is aware that “It would be a mistake to think that they are going to come cluelessbecause they have a high-quality squad and, therefore, you have to be involved in the game from the start. “
“We know that they like to play on the inside, that they have a connection, with Kroos in the lateral pivot, with Modric, raised wings, Benzemá with freedom of movement, Vinicius and its strength “, has analyzed Sergio Gonzalez, for which the key is to “play together, with little distance between lines so that they do not enter inside and generate transitions so that they run backwards and make them doubt”.
In addition, he stressed that “at set pieces they have people with great hitting and height, with which they have many resources”, hence he considers essential “to hit on being intense, so that they are not comfortable, find that last successful pass in their field and play more calmly with the ball “.
“We want to continue taking steps forward, to be competitive, to be involved at all times and, although we know that there will be phases in which we will have a bad time, we have been at a good level against the greats and we have full energy and good feelings to face this match, in which I hope the team will take another step forward and be more expeditious and courageous in attack, “he concluded.
