In attack, strength and efficiency will be essential if MAnolo Gonzalez wants to get back to winning ways against Valencia, which is coming at his worst moment.. The coach of the Parakeets presented himself at the press conference held at the RCDE Stadium. Manolo Gonzalez noted that this is a game of great importance and noted that he is concerned about the schedule and attendance of the fights.
A fight against Valencia in the low hours. “Valencia” has 10 points and is in a difficult situation. I don’t know how it works at the club level, I can give my opinion on what is happening here. “We knew it was going to be a difficult year and we hope to turn things around.”
Paul Lozano left the game. “Due to injuries, he’s been on for a while. He’s a confident player at a very good level. “It gives us great balance in defense and gives us the first pass. We have people who I think can replace him and we’ve also got Omar and Joffrey back.”
Final against Valencia. “That’s it for me. All matches are finals and very important. Winning tomorrow will get us out of relegation and we should go for it. It would be good on a motivational level. Urgency is what pressing is, and football is like that. Tomorrow you have to win and you have to know how to play it. We are prepared for that.”
By winning tomorrow we are out of relegation and we have to go for it.
A few changes in the game against “Valencia”. “We didn’t win in Getafe, but there was a good tone against “Celta”, and we competed well against “Osasuna”. We’ll push a few buttons, but we can take three games a week and those who are better will play.”
All games are complicated. “I haven’t had any easy games since coming here. If we didn’t win last year, we wouldn’t be promoted and we wouldn’t be here. It was life or death. Now there is a long way to go, but it is clear that we cannot fail. All the games are difficult and important. It will be important on a motivational level and we want to play well.”
“I haven’t had easy games since coming here.
Going out of their way to stay in the First Division. “I will never regret coaching Espanyol.” We all knew it was going to be a difficult year, but I will never regret it. “The only thing I want is to do my job as well as possible and do everything possible so that next year Espanyol will be in the First Division.”
Zero goal, one of the keys. “To fight for any goal, a clean sheet is key in every game. It’s a very important thing that makes you win a lot of games or not lose when you’re not good. We haven’t achieved much this year and we need to do that.”
We haven’t been able to close the goal this year and we need to
Find solutions during the attack. “It’s time to continue working. It’s a matter of luck, there are no miracles. We have to minimize the mistakes at the back and be successful at the top, like the day at Celta. Let’s see if we can find it tomorrow and we can finalize the situations.”
Worried about the fight schedule? “I am worried that there are no people, because they are very important. They are always busy with us, but I understand that the schedule is criminal. “He has neither head nor tail.”
About Valencia and its situation. “Not a bad team. You can be last in many circumstances. They have quality players both inside and outside. You have to focus on the game so you don’t make mistakes. It will be a difficult game, but when we are good, we compete well in front of everyone.”
