Sergio Pellicer: “We are at the limit. I hope LaLiga can expand the cards for us “

Many casualties. “We will adjust the call tomorrow, but it is true that we may be on a zip line without a net. We are going to see the players, but it is true that Jozabed and Caye will not be there. And other players, Matos ended up limping. And Benkhemassa. And Pablo Chavarría, although he did not compete, is dragging the problems. There are five players and let's see if Juande will be able to help us with the chip issue ”.

Need for a transfer. “We are at the limit. That is why we highly value the situation we are in and the points we have. In a situation with such a short squad in a competition like this, it makes us have these problems. Now that another window is opening and that the economic limit and the situation that the club has gone through at an economic level is being adjusted well, I hope that LaLiga can expand the issue of chips, because we are getting worse and worse ”.

Importance of the match. “For me it is a very important game. We have seen two games without adequate results for the team's performance, when we play at home we have to be strong, which is costing us because of that anxiety. And against a rival that marks two different dynamics. To end the year winning would be the best dream of all and to extend the distance in the second peloton to be as high as possible. Tremendously important tomorrow, with responsibility and demand, and without anxiety. We are going to have to know how to suffer and try to get ahead. Finishing the year winning and widening the gap in the second platoon to be as high as possible would be the best dream of all ”.

Importance of the three points. “We have to be prepared to know how to suffer. At home we have to make ourselves strong and go out as if we had 30,000 people cheering us on and that we have that goal on a virtual level. With great hunger and responsibility, as we play against Almería and in the Cup, especially in attitude, which is being terrible on the part of the boys. Ending the year with victory would be very important for us ”.

What it costs to win at home. “It is true that in the end when that statistic is there it is for something. We are not getting the points that we have to get at home. The key is to maintain balance, and we have achieved it more outside than at La Rosaleda. It will be one more issue of anxiety, of desire that we have as a local. Keep us in balance. The messages we have to give are one of optimism and that we can. Tomorrow is a tremendously important day ”.

Analysis of Logroñés. “The difference between them and us is that they have a large staff at the professional level. It is a team that won six consecutive games and that is available to very few. A rival that comes with a squad that already knows the coach, they have very clear mechanisms. After Mallorca, with the problems they had, they were able to rebuild at the level of performance, because they have always competed in every game. It is a team that had a hard time adapting to the category at first, those six victories are not luck, it is a matter of work. He handles several systems and he knows how to rebuild. It is a team more of men than names, it handles transitions well, set pieces … Now in this last section they have been penalized for certain individual errors. The strongest thing is that it has 24 professionals in a large staff and that it manages several systems and we do not know what we are going to find. They are a dangerous team and they have already won in Oviedo under adverse circumstances ”.

Problems with the VAR. “I never avoid any response, but I think that, as always, they have to adjust. We have to focus on ourselves, on the development of the game. I do not want protests the referee, or the rival, what happened to us against Lugo cannot happen to us again, to be more aware of the rival. Right now, with VAR, there are plenty of attendees: what are they for? ”.

Compliments to Orlando Sá. “Here we bet on the youth, but they have to see how veterans compete in a field like Coruxo, international players. Young players have to see that, the attitude. They must have their feet on the ground. Orlando Sá was an example. Also Escassi or David Lombán. They showed what it is to be a professional soccer player. Scoring that goal against Coruxo has been perfect for him and also for the group because of what he transmits. We know in the circumstances in which he came, the preseason he did and, when he was better, some discomfort came to him. It has made him feel better, the forwards live off the goal ”.
