Missing players: in addition to Iago and Kevin’s situations, the rest are available.
Player’s support: it’s something I don’t know. What’s clear to me is that we’re a close-knit working group (coaching staff, medical team, players and the whole staff).
Results: to get where we want to be, you have to get results and look for points. Managers are very exposed to the results they get. We have very strong energy to turn things around, which we know aren’t good. It’s the players who fill me with energy every day.
Bad results: I also have clear that the results are only obtained with more work and the will of all. That’s the way to change things.
Solutions: you have to respect the plans, have a collective will and always find the path to good things. We have worked on all of this this week.
Reliability: it’s very important not to concede goals, of course. But to avoid them you have to be clear that you have to do a very strong collective work.
Alavés: It’s a strong team, with good players and a good team system. They have very strong support at home and almost always get good results. We have to match that spirit and put on the pitch all the energy we’ve shown throughout the week.
Defense: Every game has a plan and we always look at how our opponents play. We want our identity not to be changed but we try to do the most damage to our opponents.
