Oviedo trained this morning at El Requexón to prepare for Monday’s match against Levante and before that the coach, Jon Pérez Bolo, offered his weekly appearance. The coach talked about the transfer market that has just concluded and made an effort not to give any kind of clue about his plans for the match against Levante. “Shall I call Nafti and give him the lineup?” he joked. These were the statements of the Oviedo coach.
Part of casualties
“Luismi did something with the group, but he still has to be careful. Let’s hope that next week he will do much more. Costas is getting better every day, like Miguelón and Pomares. I imagine that they will soon be for the group, we are looking forward to their rejoining”.
Do you see improvements in your team?
“It is evolving favorably. We go little by little, when a coaching staff arrives at a club and wants to establish their method, it is not easy. In football you have to improve day by day and if you think you’re going to reach your peak you’re wrong. The predisposition of everyone from day one has been exceptional”.
market valuation
“I am delighted with the squad we have, not only in terms of sport. We have a phenomenal group and that is very important. Sure there will be difficult times. Those who were there last year have helped the new ones a lot. We know what we represent, we know that it will be a very demanding year and we are going to work so that it does not weigh us down. We’ll go game by game and see where we get: in football you have to live in the present. We have to play a good game and add three. All markets are difficult and I think we have done a good job. We are 23 players plus those we have from the subsidiary, we are going to go to the death. I’m delighted with the squad.”
The match against Levante
“Those recently relegated from the First Division are dangerous. They have important players plus the signings they can make. All the games are going to be difficult. We have to do things well, otherwise we won’t be able to get the three points”.
The importance of the hobby
“We have talked about it many times, seeing the Sardinero with our people helping us. The Tartiere will look incredible, a great team is coming to a stadium that is going to put on a lot of pressure”.
Will he make many changes against Levante?
“Should I call Nafti and give him the lineup (laughs)? I’m not going to give clues.”
Marcelo Flores
“Marcelo can play in many positions, we will see where he plays this week. If he is a starter, if not, if he plays, if he goes to the band… We are not going to give clues to the rival, each coach will put the players that he deems appropriate. They are battles, and each battle you have to try to win and I’m not going to advance anything”.
