Abelardo Fernández attended the media this afternoon in the Mareo press room as part of the match that will take place tomorrow at El Molinón between Sporting and Burgos.
Burgos: “I expect a different game; Burgos have another way of playing. They are a very recognizable team, but they do everything phenomenally. They do things that seem simple but are not. They are going to require us to be at a high level to beat them They manage a lot of records. It’s a good team that has 4 points and hasn’t conceded any goals.”
Hold on to El Molinón: “It is the objective of every year, to become strong at home. We are going to try to do it, we know that in El Molinón with many people we will be more protected. It is a difficult category. It is rare to see a game like ours the other day, with so many goals. The influence of the public is going to be very good for my players.”
Johnny’s Status: “He is still in the recovery process with that discomfort in the quadriceps”
Christian Rivera: “Today he is going to train with the group. He has been dragging a problem in his foot for a few weeks. His participation the other day was very good. Yesterday he had discomfort again, let’s see how he is
illusion: “I cannot take away the illusion of the people, I am delighted that they are excited, that is that we transmit things. The passing of the days will tell where the team is. What we have to do is give 100% in each game, we have to be a solid, humble team and exploit our strengths”
Mercado: I’m not worried, I’m worried about the game. The market is for Gerardo. By number, the central and forward position we need two reinforcements. The club is doing everything possible to make it happen. If you can’t, nothing happens. We are who we are. I think it’s a problem for all teams that need tips. Beyond that I think there will be no surprises.
hobby change: “We are a team that is going to have the ball. The other day it was a special game against a special team that we played in a certain way and it went well for us. I think people have improved a lot compared to the team. People want to see a team that gives their all. Nobody watches possession. They watch the players give everything, that we get to the rival goal quickly. If here from the end of the season, the team starts to play horrible, people will be dissatisfied, me too and I’m still not”
Duke: “We insist that our striker can give us in the game. We work with Djuka so that he participates more in the game. I prefer the Djuka of the other day, with less game and two goals”
profile nine “For what we have, we are looking for a profile similar to Djuka. Campu or Jordan are more of a second striker, it is not their strong point to finish off. A striker with greater wingspan, with the ability to run into space”
Favorites for promotion: “Logically, they have more advantage. Since that aid to the relegated players has been in place, they have an advantage, as happened to Sporting. Last year they only went up one, but Eibar stayed on the last day. They have squads already formed from last year that you look and they are better than the rest”
How to deal with bad times?: “Worse feeling than last year, I don’t think it will happen. It was a very difficult situation for everyone. I am a very optimistic person, the challenges I have taken on have been with teams in a bad situation. The key is to work and transmit calm to the player We don’t consider the negative, we have 4 points, let me enjoy”
More character: “I was only there for four games last year, I can’t analyze the locker room. When we met with Javi Rico and Gerardo, I was worried about the lack of character. I think the human group has to be good, as well as being good at a football level. There has to be humility and union and this group now transmits it to me. There is a good union between them”
