francisco He said yesterday that his team had already overcome the duel that led to a heavy defeat (3-0) against Betis on the first day of LaLiga, and that their players They’ve had a “good week” of training and are “ready to win” tomorrow (8:00 pm) against Almería.At his local premiere at the Martínez Valero stadium.

“The team is good. Against Betis, things didn’t go as we wanted. The kick-off happened and we made mistakes that condition the game. But the next day we already talked and it’s over. It’s been a good week of work. Also, new players have arrived, bringing us quality and more competitiveness. There are others who have been injured and have participated before. We are ready to face the Almería match and try to win.”

One of the issues that the Almeria coach had to work on this week was: mood, especially with Enzo RocoPlaying a terrible game at Benito Villamarín and making mistakes unworthy of a professional football player. “I already talked to him during the break of the Betis clash. We are all responsible, despite individual faults. He is an international player who has experience in Chile and adds a lot to this club. He knows that these are mistakes paid in League One and cannot be repeated.. Roco had a great pre-season, one of the highlights. We’ve talked and we know that we all need to improve, no matter who we are.

Francisco is aware of the importance of the match against Almería, because it is a direct opponent and he has a complex schedule: «I always say that the next match is the most important match. In this case Almeria, an opponent who will be with us fighting for liberation. An important game to be at the start of LaLiga, second day and first game at home with our people.. Almería just lost to Real Madrid, but they fought very well. They have a strong squad, although they can’t save some players, they showed it in the Second Division last year and they have quality players in the First Division this season as well.”

Frangiverde sees the technician for another year, very close competitionas already shown in the first two days and as announced last Friday Valladolid draws with Sevilla at Sánchez Pizjuán. “Last year was similar. It is very difficult to score in each game and the competition is too much. We lost 3-0 to Betis but it was a game with the effect of conditioning factors and we made our own mistakes. Regardless of the opponent, you have to compete 100 percent to get points. We want to be a team with a winning mentality, as we did last season, and we leave our spirit in every match whether we win or lose.”

Elche coach, like his team, “Excited” with its premiere at Martínez ValeroIt will be a great atmosphere with around 25,000 fans. “Today – for yesterday – we trained at the stadium for the first time and it looks very nice with the changes made. The grass is beautiful too. The only thing missing is that we’re there on Monday for nearly 24,000 subscribers and we’re proud of that. Together we hope to bring victory to our fans».

Franjiverde coach awaits a ‘brave’ Elche to go to the match He did not want to reveal whether he would play with three or four defenders against Betis. “This team is brave, they’ve already shown that and we have to come out and win. Regardless of whether we can build a defensive line with three centre-backs or four defenders. I believe whoever comes out will perform well and do their best.. We have to forget about the Betis game and beat Almeria.”

Francisco already sees Pol Lirola, Álex Collado and Domingos Quina even prepared for the start: «Álex comes from doing the whole preparation period with Barcelona. Pol had already played one match with Olympique de Marseille and Domingos also made pre-season preparations with Wattford. They have been with us for seven or eight days, they have integrated very well. This club is very helpful in that regard and they are very ready to play.”

Transfers and possible departures

Although the Franjiverde coach said last week that he would consider the squad closed with the arrival of Álex Collado and the arrival of Domingos Quina if another player comes for the midfield; He’s still hoping to put the ice on the team with a new defender. “We are happy with the squad we have. With the arrival of Álex (Collado), Pol (Lirola) and Domingos (Quina), the competitive edge has increased. We are ambitious and I said if something interesting came up that would improve the situation at the defensive centre, we would try it. TWe’ve left Gonzalo Verdú out, and although he’s in very good shape, we’ll try to bring him in if a good opportunity arises. The market is open and anything can happen.

I was told there was something on social networks but nothing came to me. Tete Morente Ready to play on Monday. We are pleased with him, he is an actor who has added a lot to us.
