Álvaro Cervera took advantage of Oviedo’s decisive victory (1-0 against Mirandés) to show his most self-critical reading and demand one more step from his team. Satisfied with the victory, which allows us to look at the table more calmly, the coach hopes that the three points will serve his team to continue growing.
defending his men
“In my profession, only winning is worth it. I can put some but, yes, surely I see things that have become worse. But we also did a lot of things right. The defense that we have made has value, but if we are tied we would say that we were very defensive, because we really have been. We have to defend well, as we have done, but the defense cannot be just that. It is not just putting people behind, but when you steal you have to do damage and we must improve on that ”.
“There is an opponent who doesn’t play badly, they put people behind to handle the ball. We didn’t take out a lot of people to put pressure on, what we wanted was for them to have no crosses or shots. You feel more comfortable defending further back. But you need speed on the counterattack. If you recover and don’t deal damage it can become a problem. But there is a solution.”
The team’s streak
“At points we have woken up, but I am very critical of myself and I want to see something else. I have seen very good things, an organized team that knows what it has to do, but we have to know what to do when we have it. Even so, we’ve had three clear chances and they haven’t, but I’d like the game not to be so harrowing”.
Borja Sanchez.
“He will give what he is capable of. I see him train and he seems to me to be of a higher category. Let’s see what he does on the field. You have to play a game. If you are able, I will be delighted. You have to see it on the grass. He has some things that he does extremely well, let’s see if we get the others to improve as well ”.
Luismi.
I don’t like customizing. The central defenders we have with the pivots are very good. In this axis we are a good team in the category. You have to take advantage of the rest. Luismi I have tried to sign him in other teams, I have always liked him ”.
The tension.
“Now we are a little calmer, but if we manage to win you will put tension to get to the top”.
Sangalli’s problems.
“He was injured in an outing, slipped, felt discomfort and has not been there.”
Marcelo Flores.
“Surely the right is not your position. There are many expectations and it has cost him a bit, what I have asked of him has sometimes come out and not others ”.
