#ParauladeMíster | Pre-match vs Real Sociedad B

"Real Sociedad B is a very dynamic team with very talented, international players, who do things very well and have the ability to associate quickly, to be vertical when they have spaces... it is a very good team but we continue in the our dynamic of growth. The dynamic is being good and as always when we play at home we really want to do things very well, to be strong as a home team and give our fans a win."

"They have a lot of individual talent, very skilful players in three quarters, with many people who reach the area very well, able to overcome pressure and arrive in a combinative way in the last third. And above all, when they have spaces, they have quality and ability to move quickly and reach the opposite goal with very few passes. At a defensive level, they alternate high pressure with mid-block situations. We analyzed the game as we always do, respecting the opponent as much as possible but focusing mainly on ourselves themselves, in our identity and style. This is the most important thing for us: beyond what they do, the most important thing is what we do."

"It's the most important match because it's the one that's up to us now. We want to be strong at home. We haven't yet known defeat at Estadi Nacional and we want it to continue. For us it's important to play at home: we want that Estadi Nacional becomes a fortress and we must enter the match with energy and determination to take the three points, which is what we want. We don't want to think beyond that."

"I see the team coming from a good game. With things to improve, obviously, but I think the first half hour of the last match reflects very well what I want the team to be. I think we have to have more clinical in moments of superiority so that they have an impact on the scoreboard. This is one of the points of improvement, apart from giving more continuity to these good moments. We continue to grow."
