“We are wounded in pride”

With a serious but optimistic face. This is how Juan Carlos Carcedo, coach of UD Ibiza, appeared this Saturday on the eve of the match that his team will play against Mirandés this Sunday in Can Misses. A meeting in which the islanders seek to recover from the last two defeats, especially from the win (5-1) suffered against Cartagena. “We are wounded in pride,” declared Carcedo, that he is convinced that they will have a great match to beat tomorrow’s rival.

“It has been a week a little more complicated, due to the fact that we did not have a good game. It is clear that a defeat by so many goals is not in good taste, it is painful, and what we have done during the week is try to talk to each other and try to solve the errors that we had. I hope our best version because I know that we are a team that has a good line and that we are going to follow it. I’m convinced that on Sunday we are going to have a great game ”, commented the La Rioja coach.

Carcedo did not reveal if there will be a revolution in the starting eleven, to give a wake-up call, and said that “the important thing is the performance of the group.” “When a defeat like the one we had in Cartagena happens, what we have to do is get the people back because we end up annoyed”added the coach of the celestial, who made it clear that they have “a good squad” and “confidence in all the players.”

In addition, with regard to Mirandés, he stated that he had the “maximum respect” for him. “It is clear that he has a good coach and young players who are standing out every year ”, declared Carcedo, who defined the rojillos as “a slightly unpredictable team.” “We will have to give our best level and try to pressure them because if it is not a team that combines very well; and, from there, play our game ”, declared the Ibiza coach.

Carcedo said that they must return to “be a reliable team”, which is difficult to beat, as demonstrated in the first seven days of the championship. “We know that by doing many things well we have a chance of winning all three points”, sentenced the Mister of the islanders.

He said that the victory would give them “peace of mind” to face the next league commitments, in a week in which the islanders will have to play three very demanding matches.

Carcedo made it clear that the defeat against Cartagena put them “a little bit on Earth.” “This is a very complicated category. We have a squad to have a good year, but it will be difficult ”, declared the Ibiza coach, who recovers Bogusz for the match against Mirandés, but loses Álex Gálvez, who was sent off against Cartagena.
