“The dream is to get six points behind Sevilla”

Imanol will travel to Seville with all the ambition to win despite the fact that the team from Julen Lopetegui They still haven’t won at home and that the txuri urdin are not capable of defeating the first in the table. “If we are able to win, we are six points behind Sevilla. That is the ambition and the illusion, with all the humility“. For such a noble purpose, the coach will once again count on Mikel Merino, even though he has not trained again . “They all have a huge desire“, says the coach, who will have some Sanse players: “They play a lot, but so do we“. Today they have trained Alone, Olasagasti, Turrientes, Ayesa and ander martin.

Imanol He doesn’t think Sevilla will be penalized for Thursday night’s effort and their elimination from the Europa League at the hands of West Ham: “These turn the situation around right away, they have been used to it for many years“. For all this, the Oriotarra understands that “Let’s see the Seville of always” and highlights that they have “fresh players” and “very good people who did not play” in London against West Ham. Their depth of squad and their level make them better cope with these moments of saturation.

For Imanol, it is “very complicated” to predict how the game will go, considering that the previous ones in Pizjuán were many goals, although at present neither of the two contenders is very lucid facing the rival goal. The coach highlights the wide range of tactical possibilities that the opponent has, so it is impossible for him to know how he will come out. “The same thing will happen to them, since here at home we go out with a 4-4-2 and very rarely have we done it“, he warns. In any case, the message is clear: “What I want to see is a Real one that wins. There are many ways to win and there is not just one ‘Plan A’. Sometimes there is ‘Plan B’, ‘Plan C’ and even ‘Plan D'”.
