Francis Rodriguezcoach Elche CFoffered this friday previous press conference The match corresponding to the third day of LaLiga Santander, where the Elche team objected to it. Saturday (17:30) at Martínez Valero stadium against Real Sociedad.
The Franjiverde coach stated that he sees his team well, that it will be a different game from Almería and that he is calm about the possibility that Mojica will pay the termination price and leave because he sees him as “very determined and integrated”. group.
How is the team after the improvement against Almería?
We all always want to win. We tried every way and couldn’t get it. We had another very good training week, reinforcements are becoming more and more integrated and give us more competitiveness, which makes the team better. We play at home again, and we do it with all the enthusiasm in the world. In League One, all games are complex and we will have to do everything very well to beat Real Sociedad.
What news about Mojica? Are you afraid you might pay the price and leave?
We have good players and we don’t know what will happen until the last day of the market. Our intention is to continue with us all season. No word from the club that anything official has happened. Rumors are normal because he is one of the best left-backs in Spain. I am calm because I see that he is very committed to training. I see Johan as committed and convinced of the project as any other colleague. And that makes me optimistic.
Is there a prepared plan B in case the market goes in the last hours?
We always had a plan B. Mulk (Bragarnik) knows how to manage time well and has alternatives. But since we are not considering the possibility of Johan leaving… I hope the market and I believe that will happen, it will close before the competition starts. It cannot be finished after three days. All coaches have the same choice and I hope one day these terms will end.
And about possible arrivals?
I already said it would be better if someone came. We have always valued what we have and those who want to be with us.
How do you see Jeison Murillo’s option?
He is a good football player with a good level and may be ready to be in a squad like ours. But we’ve already seen the level of our central defenders against Almería. And if they are like that, whoever comes will have to follow them and it will be difficult.
How is Lucas Boye?
It has been standing for a long time. He has already played 25 minutes against Almería. It’s getting better and better and will soon be available to start.
And the Pope?
Very keen and played a few minutes on Monday. The player who trained the least in the pre-season. But he’s been with the group for two weeks and will definitely improve within minutes.
What do you think about the future Real Sociedad without Isak?
I’ve seen all the friendlies and the two games they play in the league, and one of the teams playing the best football, a good inside game, looking for space, right foot. They have very good players and one of the best in terms of ball control. They already beat us last season and we’ll have to bring out the best version of us to win.
How will it differ from the Almeria match?
It will be different. We must have the ability to adapt well. There will be moments when we are off the ball and have to close the gaps. We can’t always try to steal it because it will be very difficult. It will be different from Almería but we also want to take the game to where we are most interested. On the last day, together with Almería, we were the team that showed the highest physical capacity. Although we didn’t have many opportunities, we came to the area many times.
