Pamplona, Apr 2 (EFE).- The coach of Osasuna, Jagoba Arrasate, has indicated that there is still “a quarter of the championship” and “many things to say and do” with Real Betis as his most immediate objective to continue adding points in your locker.
“We are looking forward to facing a difficult game. The last visit was not good and we want to show another image to stand up to a rival who is having a great season”, Arrasate noted at a press conference after the last setback at home suffered at the hands of Barcelona.
The one from Berriatua expects a Betis with important casualties that will come out to win “with those waves with which it seems that it overwhelms the rival”, so its players will have to “cope” so that the Verdiblancos “are uncomfortable” and “have to run backward”.
Osasuna has not managed to do all the damage that the powerful teams in the table would like: “it is true to compete with those seven teams that are in Europe is very complicated. With Betis it is repeated, since we returned to the First Division, it has always cost us. In that aspect it is a challenge”.
Arrasate has stated that his squad has objectives “of all kinds” such as improving their classification, growing as a team… all of this “in a competition that does not forgive you, so the demand is high”.
“You have to differentiate. One thing is to achieve our objective and another to jump towards a greater one, and I think that there, we are not yet ready. I think we are closer to those at the bottom than to those in Europe”, he has assessed about the challenges of his team from here to the end.
The coach has asked to go “week by week” with his work. “If we get confused, we are vulnerable,” she stressed.
He thinks that Borja Iglesias, Fekir or Canales, players who will not be on the Betic side tomorrow, “are among the most important in the League”, but he has warned that they have footballers like Joaquín, Juanmi, Willian José, Tello or Lainez to make them damage. EFE
