Sergio Pellicer and the ‘fear clause’: “I am totally against”

Yanis will not be able to play because of the famous fear clause. “We know how this football business is set up, especially with the issue of players and transfers. We have been competing for a month with the open market. There are many squads that have many players and they have to give them up out of necessity. The fear clause says it all with its name, players who cannot be in one squad are in others for the benefit of another team, like Yanis. I am totally against depriving a player of being available, but I understand home clubs that want to do that. It should be made clear and given a freedom. The most affected here are us and the player ”.

Ups and downs. “Fortunately, we were able to get Pablo, Jairo and Benkhemasa back. Also Escassi, who is doing a job for those annoyances and we took him because he could do the session. We have injuries and also that of Yanis (low by contract) and we want to have a professional record. We want to see if Escassi can help us, he is making a terrible effort “”

Jozabed and Juande. “Juande continues with those discomfort, Jozabed trained at a good level and yesterday he had discomfort and is not one hundred percent with a contracture”.

Tight schedule. “There was a time when we had a large squad, but this tough schedule is what it takes. The protagonists are the footballers and those in the tie suit have to look at the calendar, the footballers are the protagonists and you have to take care of it. This marathon of matches is taking a toll on us and now there is a tremendously important week and a half to be able to recover the players. Each player is gold, he is another jewel for us with 18 professionals, the day-to-day and the effort that we are all making is truly complicated. Training and competing with these limitations is easy, it does not have to serve as excuses but we must value it. Expect those players with discomfort to recover ”.

The Almeria. “It is a team made of a very talented checkbook. But all that talent is being very well managed by its coaching staff because it is a team that knows how to suffer. With this dynamic, get that group of players to go to the same idea. At the associative level it is a team of the best, which has very clear offensive mechanisms, which goes well to the subsequent action, now it is on that streak. He can afford and dare to change eleven players between one game and another, but we do not look at the potential.

goals. “We seek to compete as we are doing, we want to continue that streak outside our stadium, we are getting results. We are going to have to know how to suffer. We are going to try to make them suffer and I hope for a very nice match, where each one with their weapons will go for victory. We are going for the victory, it will be difficult but what is not. It is the greatest achievement of this team, to compete like this. We have to be at the limit and we will be close to being able to achieve victory. I am happy with what I see. The best rival in form in the category ”.

Is the playoff going away? “The end of the season is a long way off. Last day we had this illusion that if we got the victory we were in the playoffs. Now it's anecdotal, the league is like the Tour de France. We would like to be as high as possible. We cannot think about the future, neither do I think about defeat, but about competing and that we are going with our idea. Both are clear about their ID. Whether we achieve victory or not, that process will always be there. This is a shredder, we have to keep balance and distance with those below. We know how complicated it is to add. Go dropping stones for when we are liberated to be able to get the maximum possible points ”.

Eleven months training Malaga. “The experiences are there, I always think that each day is a learning experience. It goes with the illusion, the hopes, the illusion or the objectives. It is what we want to transmit every day. On a professional and personal level we are growing, for me it is the most beautiful position I could have dreamed of. There are many personal things that take time away from your family. Trying to improve and that passion that one has every day to improve. It seems easy to be happy, but the most difficult thing is to be simple to seek the best possible results. The position of coach is results ”.

Why do you play better outside than at home? “If we had our fans we would have many more points at home. It is a bit the theme of that anxiety, that obligation to go for the three points. We are not maintaining a balance during the 90 minutes, especially in our stadium. Outside we are getting it. Against Almería it is a match that we could label them as the top because of the rival's situation, it is a great test to comfort everything we are doing. We have to continue in that balance. As there is no audience there is not a big difference, but we have to become stronger in our stadium because it will bring us closer to the goal. Keeping this level out is tremendously difficult. Let's see if we can be the best team at home. We were sorry not to win against Cartagena to thank the Grada de Animación and Frente Bokerón for their welcome. Many players have not experienced it, their hair stood on end “

Rotations in the goal. “We are creating a trend because we are not the only ones, precisely Almería is also breaking. Many change. This circumstance has occurred, but I am very happy with the daily work. I have a lot of confidence with the group because they are our players. They are exposed to that human error, that criticism. It's a blessed problem, if I ever have to give continuity, the first to know are the protagonists. I'm happy with the work, I want us to keep improving and if we do, we can look at much better things. The individual aside because if everyone is well you help the group. The debate is normal, but it is a trend. We are going to continue working, every day there may or may not be surprises ”.
