With little time in between matches, the Azulgranas take on Antequera CF in Copa del Rey this Wednesday, facing "in all seriousness" a rival the boss knows quite well. "They're a tough rival, I know how they work. They enjoy possession and propose a lot. They'll make it hard for us, but we'll go there bearing in mind our own idea, trying to be bold and to go through the next round," told us Hidalgo.
"It's a helpful game, either if you win or if you lose," he highlighted, explaining that keeping trust is extremely important. "We need to be mentally motivated, this is about falling and standing up again and again, we must think of all the improvements made and move on."
Finally, he added: "We'll face this encounter in all seriousness." "I ask my players to be brave, organised and are aware of our rival." The boss knows that it will not be easy, so he concluded: "We don't have much time to prepare this game, so we'll try to be fresh and make good choices to scratch up to the level."
