There is only one day off a week. Chat in the locker room before training on Monday and you’ll get a clear idea: Continuity in the starting eleven and repeated formations on weekends are over… for now. Rubén Torrecilla is determined to stir up the hornet’s nest to prevent the team from falling into rut. succumb to the urge to relax, to adapt, to believe that the worst is over because it is the opposite. Hercules’ desired goal is now decided and cannot fail.
“We worked mentally at the group level, reviewing individual and collective mistakes and trying to clarify what happens to us as a team when we give in to the temptation to relax. We cannot feel better than othersWe have to show it, that’s all we can do and have to do,” says the coach, warning the sailors. “I got very angry at the end because I don’t know what happened to us in the second half. We had done the hardest thing and five minutes later we had thrown everything over the railing. We brought them into the game and paid the price. “I hope we learned a lesson,” said the blue-white coach.
unconcealed anger
“You can’t always be 100%, but in the static situations that cost Espanyol B the draw, yes. This goal is unacceptable. He finished alone and there was no one three meters away. The mistake is an unforgivable sign. It is impossible to defend everything well in football, not to make mistakes, but dead In ball games it can be done and it must be done well, because everything is done very measuredly and with hard work,” explained the man from Extremadura, pointing and eliminating the inexcusable negligence of Carlos de la Nava, which facilitated the draw of the Perico reserve team. “In this categorySet pieces and strategy are very important. He gave us points, we must prevent him from taking the points from us. There must always be maximum concentration there,” Torrecilla demanded, convinced that there would be new faces against Formentera.
“I have all the players. This makes it difficult to negotiate, but it enriches the team because it increases the competition. There will be rotations because everyone can play at the level they are at, we have very good players, we have become stronger.” ourselves very well and I won’t let anyone relax“Everyone should be available and no one should feel like they have a guaranteed position, because the competition is very high,” echoed the Cáceres coach, who found the three months very difficult.
“The final period of the championship will be very tough, there will be great demand for three months. We are all in fists and The important thing is to be organized and not give up.. The lead is very close, any of the top players can reach it, so I’m afraid goalaveraje will also be very important,” admits the blue-and-white coach, who defends the tactical wealth his team has developed since pre-season.
A team with rich plans
“Tactically we are versatile, very flexible, we do not stick to a particular system or subject ourselves to it. We mix it up as needed, making changes depending on whether we are attacking or defending. We play with a lot of attacking emphasis, We get a lot of men inside, we take possession of the ball, we make it difficult for them to take the ball from us and we step into as much space as possible.. When we do things well, we are a very difficult team to beat,” explains the person responsible for the Bñanquiazul game model.
The defeat at Sant Adrià de Besós has stung, and there will be consequences. “There will be three or four changes, I do not believe in revolutions from one week to the next, but I will not give a clue to the opponent. We will return because we will rotate” We need everyone fresh and full of energy To play the rest of the championship. I am feeling We are now at a point where everyone can play. For a while I was more confident in a more stable block, but now everything is balanced and I can bet on other names to distribute the loads and responsibility. No one can play by measuring himself, time spent on the grass maximum intensity” he said in a very measured tone.
Warning without insulting
“The player who does not repeat this week will not be caught unprepared or taken by surprise. I also warned about this in my speech on Monday. Now I said the same thing as I said here and gave them the same arguments. The last stage where as many players as possible are at a good level and This is impossible if the same people play all the time.. And if anyone is angry about this, take a paracetamol and relax. We are fighting for the common good, Hercules, there is no room for individual priority or for me who makes decisions with the club’s goal above all else in mind. “You cannot desire what we desire without the participation of the best version of everyone,” Torrecilla warned.
“The eleven that start are very important, but not more so than the five that come later and win us a lot of points. Whatever time is played, these should be minutes of maximum quality for the player,” he added.
It’s a tough game…another game
Regarding the match that awaits Hércules this Sunday at noon, the man from Extremadura made clear his distrust, despite the visit of Formentera’s Rico Pérez, who joins the fight to avoid relegation. “The key on Sunday will be patience. “We will face a hyper-motivated team that gathers a lot of players at the back, defends in a low block, and we need to know how to attack them calmly and with quality, without losing our nerves, without rushing. Because they will not leave us much space to create superiority.”
“After a defeat I can’t think of anything but winning. We always go out with this mentality, but after we lose, we go out even more. But we will not be able to achieve this with just the shield, we need to do things very well because Formentera have been good for three weeks without losing and managed to draw with Europa on the last matchday,” underlines Torrecilla.
