Cup week; week of changing the chip. After last weekend's painful draw at Estadi Nacional, Ferran Costa faces this new competition with the idea of continuing to compete and grow as a team.
#ParauladeMíster | Pre-match vs Don Benito
"Anything that means competing, and more so in a competition like the Copa del Rey, is always exciting. It's a game we really want to play. It's a different competition from the league and we face it with a great desire to do a very good game, in a field that we know will be very complicated where they have only lost one game in the league. It is true that they are not at their best in terms of results and that means we have to take them into account even more because for sure they will want to make things right in front of their people."
"They are a team that likes open games, that load the area with a lot of people and don't need many passes to get there. They are also dangerous with a set piece and they have players like Oussama Chit who had a season last year very good. We really want to play the game and we know that we will have to give a very high level to compete."
"We face the game with the clear intention of winning it. Whenever we play we want to win and we will field the eleven players that we think will bring us closer to winning to continue consolidating this competitive mentality of the team and make the most of the 90 minutes to continue developing this in a game that will be very demanding."
"Beyond what happened last season I think we have to continue with this identity that we have to keep building. Taking advantage of all the things that happened to us during the competition to make it more and more solid and consistent and I can't imagine any other way to face a match that is not going to win".
"The way to give importance to the game is to follow a consistent line with what we are doing in all the games. And that does not mean that whoever does not play on Thursday or Sunday is not important, but that also depends on moments and always be prepared. I don't understand that for being another competition we have to do things differently to how we are doing them. ".
