Predicting the future is not very useful and causes anxiety. Rubén Torrecilla has assumed this and that is why he does not waste a second thinking about what to do when the team breaks the winning streak; This streak will one day be broken by pure existential logic: “Talk of defeat is for the weak. We talk about the things we need to improve, what we did wrong in the last game… We emphasize what is good for us to continue to emphasize. “We won’t talk about defeats until the defeats come,” the Hercules coach fervently reassures.

“Now is the time be humble, to continue working in the same way, not to put our chest out so that no one can break it, and to correspond to the shield we carry on our chest. Put on your overalls, put on your pick and shovel and go out to win Sant AndreuThat’s what we have to talk about now,” the Cáceres coach concludes.

The blue-white team returned to the field after three wins. A fan waiting for artificial turf at Narcís Sala and eagerly waiting for his neighborhood team to beat Hercules: “Not losing is the essence of football. This is very important. This is very important. You always have to add, so if you can’t win, don’t lose. The most organized is the most to reach the goal.” “Our idea is always to go out and win, but then depending on the course of the game we will do one thing or another with a clear idea of ​​adding,” warns the coach.

“Not losing is the essence of football. This is very important. You always have to add, so if one day you cannot win, do not lose.”

«Sant Andreu’s results are not a reflection of their play. They conceded a lot of goals, but from time to time they were much superior to their opponents. It is a field where the fans have a very good atmosphere and we need to do everything very well to win there. Losing two matches doesn’t mean anything Because they play good football. They like to attack, they gather people inside, so we will have to defend very well and take the game to our field. We have to enjoy competing,” explains Torrecilla.

It was largely thanks to the coach’s offer that the number of subscribers from the club’s origins exceeded 7,000: «We are hiring stands that will identify with the team.. I had no doubt that this would be the case, because this hobby always pays off. “We are a block full of tough, competitive, hard-working people, and this attracts more and more people to join the project because it is easy to identify with such a humble, competitive, never holding back team.”

No designated hitman?

The situation on the field after the signal given last Sunday punishment In favor of the people of Alicante Alvarito and Mendes The struggle to become a pitcher left a bitter taste in the stands. The Madrid native appeared to be the chosen one, tasked with carrying out the first one last week, but Torrecilla clarified that there was no official guidance in this regard. «They manage this on the field. “We have five good pitchers and anyone can take on that responsibility if they are mentally healthy, haven’t made any mistakes so far and feel good.”

“Whoever wants to beat us will have to shed blood and sweat, they should respect us more because it is harder to beat us than a shield.”

Despite this, the blue-white coach is aware that this should not be repeated again and that this is not a good image for a group that has adopted team unity as one of its values: «It won’t happen again. When something like this happens, it’s a result of the player’s hunger. I’d rather argue about it than see how the shooters hide, which happened to me with other teams. But this has already been resolved and will not happen again.

For the first time in five years, the illusion has come true: “When disappointments pile up at a club, it is normal that there will be those who think that in the end everything will end as bad as always. But we are trying to ensure that the players do not waste time on this. that they enjoy and enjoy what they do. This is how everything is achieved. Whoever wants to beat us will have to sweat blood, that’s our essence… and that’s the essence of the sport. “We need to make them respect us for how difficult it is to defeat rather than the shield.”
