Has the team survived the defeat in Cádiz and is it ready to face the Atlético de Madrid match?
We’re all devastated after the final defeat at Cádiz, but there’s one more thing we have to deal with. We had very little time to prepare for the Atlético de Madrid game. We are facing a Champion opponent who is playing for a place in the Champions League again next season. It will be a complex game, but we will face it with humility and enthusiasm to win.
How are the players dragging the discomfort?
Johan (Mojica) is available. We’re waiting for Boyé. He trains well and the decision is up to him. Olaza also returns. Gonzalo Verdú and Ponce are saved, the rest are available and that’s a satisfaction for a coach, because I have more alternatives and I can be guaranteed to bring out the best team possible.
Do you face the game differently than life and death knowing that permanence is so close that even losing is achievable?
We are in the last days and there are many matches at stake. This should not condition us. We prepared the match by thinking of doing well ourselves and fighting a very high quality opponent. We take great care of ourselves. We cannot cope with what is happening in other areas. It’s ourselves we have to think about, because thinking about other places doesn’t help us. If we win, we will survive.
The good win for the team dampens the setback in Cádiz and the goal is still close no matter what happens elsewhere…
Yes, it was a hard blow. We conceded all three goals in just over ten minutes. In the last four games we have scored seven points against tough opponents. Now we are focused on Atlético de Madrid. Reaching the goal with two games left will be a success. We have to take our meeting off and then we’ll see what happens with the rest of the duels.
Depending on what happened at Sánchez Pizjuán between Seville and Mallorca at halftime, Elche could be saved. Will you try to prevent players from knowing the outcome of that match?
It’s impossible to control it. There will be a lot of people in the stadium and they will want to know too. We can’t stop.
Everything was channeled to make it a great celebration…
Yes, but as I said before, we only think about winning our game and that is our only hope. Win and don’t think about anyone else. It would be a great pleasure to win and celebrate that we will be in the Premier League for another year. But we face a formidable opponent. We’ll think about our game and then celebrate together, to achieve something important.
Does being this close give you more peace of mind? What does it mean?
He says we did a good job but I keep working the same until everything is over and it’s still hard for me to fall asleep. I want to score as many points as possible from now until the end of the season because it will add more value to everyone.
What is at stake in Francisco in these last three games for the future and renewal?
I play a lot. Whenever I work, I steal something. I know the work we do is valuable. What we achieve is not accidental or accidental. We want to finish the season well. But not for me, my club and my fans. And my renewal, if it has to be, will be.
Did you mention your renewal with Bragarnik? Would you like to continue on Elche?
I have always said that I am very happy here at Elche. I feel valued and respected. I am very relaxed and the club knows it, just as I know they are happy with me. We’ll talk when the time comes. Logically, there will have to be a negotiation and I believe we will reach an agreement. I have fun every day and I am happy to come to Martínez Valero to work every day.
