"We are aware of the game we've got ahead of us. This is one of the teams that make the difference compared to the others. We haven't been able to follow their track. Their goal is clear and they are really motivated," he analysed the clash.
Anyway, the manager trusts his men's strengths and their positive dynamics at El Alcoraz: "We've got to focus on our own business, we'll have to try and continue with our home dynamics. We still need to pick up more points. We've got to do it for our fans, who will be well behind us."
Regarding the rival, he told us: "I believe that among the teams up top Alaves have been pretty irregular, but they're there because they deserve it. Besides that, they've improved at the winter window and they control proceedings. We could see it in our previous clash against them, so we'll have to be careful, as they don't lose focus – they are more than likely to be promoted."
