The sports director of the Real Zaragoza, Miguel Torrecilla, consider that the first round of the SmartBank League of his team has been “with ups and downs in results” and what identifies him is that “he has drawn a lot” but what they need is “to win more”.
Torrecilla believes that for his team to have options to fight for the top positions this season he has “to draw less and win more to be in the ointment”, although in his opinion they have “competed with everyone”, which “makes them see the future with optimism. “
In his analysis, the man from Salamanca hopes to arrive “well positioned in May and to be able to give the lead” and get into the play-off. That will mean being located between fifth and tenth places, something that after the first round, they are not “that far”.
After this first round, the Aragonese team is the fourth worst in the attacking facet with only 17 goals scored, “facet” that they have “to improve”, while it is the sixth best in goals conceded with 21.
“You have to focus on keeping a clean sheet and growing from that concept forward,” he says.
At the opening of the winter market, he recognizes that due to the salary limit they cannot “attend”, so they must remain on the lookout.
Regarding possible movements in the Zaragoza squad, he assures that in his first year as a sports manager “there have been no offers, the same as in summer.”
Of his relationship with the blanquillo coach, Juan Ignacio Martínez ‘JIM’, assures that it is of “total satisfaction” because “he is not a trainer to use” who “is not only concerned about the sports area, but is involved in all areas”.
