Onesimo Sanchezcoach of UD Ibiza, who declared that “it is a very important game for us, it is the last one and we have to maintain third place”, something that would make them “secure third place, the field factor, and enter with very good dynamics in the play-off».
The coach from Valladolid does not trust Recre, whom he considers “a very good team”, despite not having managed to enter the promotion phase. He is aware that “it’s going to be a very complicated game, in front of their people,” so the islanders will have to “come out very focused and give our best.”
“The most important thing is us,” said a confident Onesimo, who wants the party “to be in accordance with what we want, our proposal.” He also assessed how “the team overcame adversity” in the last game, in reference to the expulsion of Álex Gallar.
In the last match, UD Ibiza played outnumbered from the 34th minute after Gallar was sent off for a double yellow card, something that in the play-off can penalize any team a lot: “We have to learn from these things, the first card is avoidable, the second for me is not”, but “they are things that we have to improve, Álex in particular, but everyone in general”, and he blurted out “It’s something that can happen to you and you have to know how to overcome this type of situation.” The coach was proud of the physical waste of his players against “one of the best teams in the category, against whom we played a very good hour on a defensive and offensive level”, but he is going to focus on this type of nuances because “we “We are going to face the best teams, so we cannot give them an advantage.”
The Spaniard also values the work done since his arrival on the island: «From the moment we arrived until now there is a job and some nuances that each coach likes. I am satisfied with the three games we have played and with the day to day”, but taking advantage of good things from the work of the previous coach, Guillermo Fernández Romo, “my players are taking things that I want, but things that they have already done very well since before my arrival”, so the coach has also had to “adapt to things that the players have”, something that has not been a problem because “we have very close ideas of football. A brave team, a team that dominates, that arrives. In these three games we have seen very good things from the players”, but without trusting “in football the important thing is not what has happened, but what is going to happen.”
Asked about the quality of his squad, Onesimo is not surprised: «I already knew the level of my players. He had seen many games on television, although it is not the same as working with them and watching them live,” and he confessed that he was “pleasantly surprised by the ability and predisposition of the squad.” “I am very proud of the team I have, I think I have many alternatives and that I have found a team to work and fight for great things, although we all know what we have come for: promotion”, something that will not be easy because “there are rivals with a lot of quality, but it gives me the feeling that we have weapons to compete against anyone, which gives me peace of mind and desire to face what is coming to us.”
The club’s president, Amadeo Salvo, has been watching the squad’s training sessions for several days, something that reflects the importance of what is to come: «We are all clear about what our job is. The fact that the president comes motivates us all, if he were not there nothing would happen, because that is why he has hired us. Although it is true that seeing him gives you confidence and shows you his support. “We are going to fight until the end, we have options, and, as the song says, now comes the good part.”
Regarding the differences with respect to the previous coaching staff, now we see a team that presses higher, and that bites the rival after losing the ball, something characteristic of the Valladolid teams: «That is what we talk about the nuances of each coach. “I like a dominating team, that knows what to do with the ball, that puts pressure on the rival,” and he issued a warning to his players, “here no one is removed for failing, someone is removed for stopping running.” At the same time, he stated that he felt “happy with what the players want and with the alternatives we have on the bench,” since “it is impossible to sustain this pace with the same players from the beginning.”
Regarding the next rival, Recreativo de Huelva, who has nothing to play for, Onesimo does not trust: «This is a game of play-off. We have to have an initial plan and then in case certain circumstances happen,” so “we are going to start with what gives us the most guarantees to win the game.”
For Saturday’s match, UD Ibiza will not be able to count on Gallar, Escassi and Unai due to suspension. Nico is in trouble, so it is a serious doubt, and Iñaki, who has already trained with the group, but with whom they do not want to take any risks, will not enter the call either.
