right side Elche CF Sergio Carreira He spoke to the media this Wednesday to analyze the current situation of the Elche team and, above all, the meeting. Round of 32 in Copa del ReyFranjiverde team objects to this Saturday, January 6 (18.30)inside Martínez Valero stadiumin front gironaCo-leader of the First League and one of the trailblazing teams in European and world football. HE Football player on loan from Celta He welcomes conflict “with great enthusiasm” and believes it can surprise us.
How do you evaluate Saturday’s match?
With great desire. We had a short break and we want to play again and again at home, like everyone else, against the trending team Girona.
What do you expect from this new year 2024?
The group is very excited. We’re back in training thinking about what’s going to happen, trying to work out the details, and I hope 2024 will be the best possible, winning as many games as possible, and we’re looking forward to that.
In the last matches he started after not playing much in the first round…
It’s up to me to be the starter. Even though it is ultimately the coach’s decision, I need to continue to improve and gain confidence. Even though I hadn’t played for a long time, I felt comfortable when I had to play.
Beccacece is a coach who looks for versatility in players…
Yes, this is an important issue. Football is developing. Although I am a winger, I can also play more centrally or as an infielder. It helps me progress in areas of the field that I’m not used to playing on. It helps me learn and complete myself as an actor.
What does it mean to face an opponent like current Girona?
The trophy is always special. We must continue to work as in every match, regardless of the opponent. Fix bugs and try to give the best version. If we are good and play at home we can win.
The fact that Girona should play this Wednesday, they will rotate and Elche will be fresher, what percentage of overcoming the draw?
I can’t say what percentage it is. However, considering all this, it is a fact that we have not played in the League and we will be fresher. We really want to play in our home state again and we are very prepared for this game.
Could it be an advantage to go out on the field and have fun without having to win?
As a player, you may feel a little less external pressure. Girona is the favorite, but it would be mediocrity not to consider going out to win as if there were another opponent.
He coincided with Miguel Rodríguez in the Celta youth team. A player that Elche is following to sign in this winter market…
He is my friend. A strong player who does well in space. This is the first news I have received and it is an issue that the club needs to deal with.
How do you meet this demand, which you cannot meet at Mirandés and Villarreal B?
This is something I’ve never experienced before and it helps you not slow down. The top 12 rankings are pretty even and every match is important for me.
What do you expect from the fans on Saturday?
Our fans are always there. It’s not a good day (Three Kings’ Day), but it wasn’t a good day and time for open door training the other day either, and over a thousand people showed up. It always helps to have that support.
