“The team will play for its people”

The rhetoric continues without having minutes in the dialectical calls of Imanol
Sheriff. Three months after his last conference, the Real coach has been faithful to his basic principles of defending his players attentively, ensuring that Real is “ready” for the 11 battles that remain until the end: “The team will play for its people ”, he sentenced.

Imanol He warns that his pupils “are going to defend our shirt with the same intensity as always.” The Oriotarra wanted to express that he is “proud of the professionalism of the players” during the state of alarm, which “has given us the possibility of working well”. Sheriff notes that “they are strong and ready for Sunday. There are no excuses. We arrived in very good condition ”

The break has “gone long” for Imanol. On the one hand, a good sign, since “with all the progress there is, we have been on top of the players and I have seen them very well. They are all in the usual values ​​of the League ”, explains the coach, stating that“ we arrived as if it were the first game after a normal preseason ”. It also helps that the realists are “top players at a technical level”, so that “we have no excuses to complain about anything,” he insists. Imanol.

La Real defends fourth place since Sunday. “I already said that we would talk about goals when six games are missing”, reacts Imanol. “Eleven days are many and the rivals will be powerful,” he warns. The technician does not believe that the air pressure that may arise will affect the group. “No way. I do not know what will happen, but I am clear about what we want to be: the same as in the entire season. I want the team to continue transmitting and I think we are going to achieve it, ”claims Orio's.

In the judgment of Imanol, “It is positive” that the focus is directed to entering the Champions League, since “it means that the team has done things well”. The man from Gipuzkoa points out that the Royal party starts with “the same pressure as on the first day” and expresses that “I hope we fight for that”, appealing to “illusion, daring and the level to compete”.

“Everything will be strange and different”, also for Imanol, which is not different from the predominant reflection. “An important thing is the environment that we have generated in Anoeta and we will not have it,” he regrets, “so the parties will be conditioned.” Sheriff emphasizes that “we will miss the fans very much” but believes that “this is football anyway and the same thing will happen to us away from home”.

The touchstone measures the Real with Osasuna. According ImanolNavarrese “are clear about their style of play.” The realistic coach expects “few surprises in that regard”, since “they will try to push up, with the back line forward”. The forecast is clear from Imanol: “Your intention will be to attack above. Depending on its fold, we will explore the spaces or not. They will also have to get behind forced by our game. ”

Another novelty of abysmal relevance for the remaining 11 days is that each coach will be able to make five changes per game: “Depending on how a game goes, we will have to think about the next one. I feel that I am benefited ”, he launches Imanol. “There will be very little time to recover and it will be important for people to be able to level up. I have no doubts about it. It will cost a little more to recover, but I have an extensive and level squad, ”he defends. Sheriff.

One of the members of the first call aims to be Illarramendi: “He has had moments of all kinds. Train eagerly, just like Zurutuza, and are being an example. That is the best news. Asier has not played for a long time, but he is fit and if there are no surprises he will surely enter the call, “he clarifies Imanol.
