Clerc: “Lautaro and Nico are great players and they make things very difficult for me”

Green fringe left side andHe is aware that it is “very difficult” for the Elche team to stay in the First Division.even if he doesn’t want to throw in the towel and go “game game” trying to get closer to their competitors in the classification, seeing how far they can go and whether it is possible to achieve salvation, which would be a “success”,

Clerc assesses the potential fatigue the San Sebastian team will face on Sunday after the second leg. Europa League draw to be played tonight (21 hours) against Mourinho’s Roma and they have to climb 2-0 may or may not affect the first game. “It’s never known. It’s clear that tonight’s match will be an attrition for them. It depends on the result. They need to come back from the draw and if they succeed, their morale will be high. And if they are eliminated they will have to focus only on LaLiga. It will help us know how they are going to the next match and see which Real Sociedad we will find and how we can counter it.r”, the Catalan football player commented in the press room of the Martínez Valero stadium this Thursday.

Although the left-back of the Elche team is in a good dynamic, he does not think long-term: “We shouldn’t think beyond Sunday’s game.. Beyond the fact that we have achieved four of the last six points, what matters is the sensations we show. We deserved more, especially in the games we played at home. Coach instills in us day-to-day progress, better competition, and killing ourselves on the field. If we think beyond the game on Sunday, it will be difficult to reach the result.. That’s why we have to focus day by day,” he said.

Another question asked of Clerc is: Real Sociedad’s moment in LaLiga, where they haven’t won at home since January 17and it might be a good time to attack Reale Arena. “He’s having a good season, except it’s not in good shape right now. First of all, we have reasons for what we have done lately so that we can get a good result.. We played a good game in our last away game (Mallorca), we were an experienced team and we got the win. La Real will complicate things for us, but… If we do things right, we will have options to score goals and win.. We must be a brave team, minimize their virtues and be very careful. If we do this, we can get all three points,” he said.

Clerc insisted on focusing solely on “game play” and didn’t see that 13 games left and they need to cut 13 points.. “We know this is very difficult and it would be a gesture to achieve it. But we have to walk away from it because it won’t help us. We have to focus day by day and Keep looking for good vibes, because it will lead us to find good results that can bring us closer to the goal.. But now we need to focus on the day-to-day so that every player can get the most out of us.”

Elche gained the trust of left-back Machín and fixed in left laneDespite tough competition with the Argentines Lautaro Blanco and Nico Fernández Mercau“What I’m trying to do is try to give everything to help and make the coach’s job harder. They are great football players. I’m lucky enough to play but Both Nico and Lautaro make things very difficult for me, they alarm you, because if you fall asleep they will crush you.. They’re young players with tremendous potential, and they’re also doing things well.”

In this sense, he thinks he could have the advantage of learning more about European football and the coach Pablo Machín, whom he had met before in Girona. “European football is very different from South America And that allowed me to have an advantage. Moreover I know the mechanisms the coach wants because I have kept him in Girona and it gives me clues as to what he wants.. But both Lautaro and Nico They are great teammates and have no trouble adapting to the coach’s wishes.”.

Finally, Carlos Clerc assured that they would continue to fight for both, but most of all, For the fans who support them unconditionally even though the results are not as expected.. “We are sorry, and besides being professional, we are obligated to return the support we receive from our followers. Their response is great, they force us to go to the matches. The important thing is that they take pride in and enjoy every match they come to Martínez Valero.. Although we didn’t win in the last three home games (Espanyol, Betis and Villarreal), we deserved the win. We’ve got to do everything we can, give our all and have a good team-fan unity for the rest of the season and we have to finish it all together.
