The training week brought renewed energy and focus to the squad. Enzo Roco and Magallán spoke with Pablo Machín, who is refining the match day plan after serving a suspension in the previous meeting against Real Betis. The coaching staff stressed balance across the pitch, tightening the defensive line while keeping a dangerous threat on the counter. The emphasis was on collective discipline, rapid ball movement, and maintaining compact lines as Valladolid presses.

The latest league clash in Mallorca ended with a narrow 0-1 defeat, keeping the team vigilant about defensive organization. Managerial attention has shifted toward strengthening the defensive axis, a priority that could shape how the attack is supported in the final third. The staff is weighing options in front of goal, with Nteka or Ponce likely to accompany Lucas Boyé as he regains confidence and sharpness. This tactical flexibility mirrors the broader plan to stay solid at the back while exploiting moments around the box.
