Depending on the lineup they put out, they have players with good ball handling and others who are more physical. “It is a team that is comfortable going forward to press and that is capable of stealing high.” Although the match plan will be different from the one played against Sevilla, the coach will not change the style of play. “Rayo is a different team and we will look for a way to adjust in a different way, to attack them in a different way, but always close to the idea of being protagonists, of dominating and of being far from our goal,” he commented.
