Edgar analyzed the situation of Alavés. “The team is getting better every week but we have to know how to live with it, with problems in classification. Now we have another face and, on a personal level, I am happy, because I am participating and facing the rest of the season with enthusiasm”, he said.
He also spoke about Real, Sunday’s rival in San Sebastián. “We know that it is a difficult team but we will go with the intention of adding. The rivals make it difficult for us, especially if they play at home. We want to claim that we are capable of doing what we are achieving at home,” he added.
The Vitorians they want to become strong in Mendizorroza. They will have to play against Granada, Cádiz, Espanyol, Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano. “The key is in all the games and if we look at the home rivals we have to realize that they also have a lot at stake. The situation is difficult but we believe we can achieve it. We go with the idea of adding both at home and away” , assured.
The Albiazul team is aware that there will be almost a thousand Alavesistas in the stands. “We are grateful for the effort that the fans are making. For us, all the games should be derbies to face them as special challenges. If we manage to score against our people, all the better”, commented the Canarian.
Edgar plays for a place in the eleven every weekend with Jason and Pellistri. “The relationship between the three of them is spectacular. It’s been a bit of a strange year for me with injury and COVID. Now it’s my turn but competition is always good, it makes you motivated to keep playing. It makes me happy that I make things difficult. That makes the level rise more and that gives us a point of vicilla, “he reflected.
Mendilibar is happy because the team better understands what he asks of his players. “Honestly, we are getting closer. The issue of pressure and lines together is more and more similar to what he wants and asks for. We have to continue in that dynamic because we are doing the right thing,” he observed.
On the possibility of adding in San Sebastián, he focused on the performance of Alavés. “We are concerned that we are doing well. They are very difficult rivals because they are complicating things even for the big clubs. We will try to do our best to get added points.
Playing away from Vitoria is always complicated, at home we have more grit. When we travel, rivals demand a little more from you. You have to do things like in Mendizorroza,” he said.
On the possibility of having come out in the winter market, its possible continuity and the role of assistant player and scorer, he also has his opinion. “I never considered leaving. It is true that I was not playing then. I feel very good here and I think I am giving up. I was not going to leave because my mentality is to continue in the First Division. There have been no contacts for the possible renewal but now I’m focused on playing. If I do well, I’m sure the offers will come. I’m optimistic, I think positive. I demand of myself to attend and score as well because the goals will give you points and confidence”, declared Edgar.
