Low: “In principle, there is the issue of Yangel due to suspension. And every week there is a player with discomfort, but we’ll wait until tomorrow. I hope to have the rest available.”
What Athletic awaits: “Without a doubt, I expect an Atlético de Madrid like always, that competes, that leaves everything, that has a high level in its players and in its coach. They will be more hurt, I think they deserved a lot more than what they got. You don’t know what is best. But they have a game to spare and you don’t know if those at the beginning are better than those who play later. I expect an Atlético of a high level”.
Atlético, still with City in mind: “I don’t think it’s an important factor. I think the important thing is the level of their squad and their coach. It is normal for that to happen, because of the way it happened, it is logical that they may still be talking about that game. I hope they have a bigger head than in tomorrow’s game, but I’d be surprised”.
Substitute for Yangel: “I have decided. Yangel is an important player who, when he gets close to his best level, gives us a lot. But we can’t count on him, so we think about what variants there are, and we have them. There are no problems. We have players to do similar things and also to give it another form. When a player is missing, there are opportunities for others, one more motivation”.
Melendo option: “The drawings are a starting point, because the players move and we give them freedom. The other day, at that starting point, we changed the placement of some players. Nothing new. Yangel opens up possibilities for us. Melendo is one of them, but we have other players who can look for something different if we think the match requires it”.
The memory of the 10′ added in Espanyol-Atlético: “A long time ago, at the time it was a tough day because we gave enough reasons to score. But these teams have that, that at the slightest mistake it is difficult to beat them. But that happened, the essential thing to try to win is to play a good game, and that the circumstances fall on us, because in two or three games we have lost points in the last minutes”.
Darder, helped by a ‘coach’: “The phone number was given by me, so everything is said.”
throw off the bench: “I do like the rest of the world football coaches. I try to play with 11, they won’t let me play with more. And if we look at statistics, we will see that some players play more than others, the circumstances determine it and it is always flexible. Of course we are always open for any of them to participate, that is why they are in the squad. Nothing different than what happens in any other team. Last season it was also discussed and it turns out that we were the ones who had used the most players”.
Junior King’s Cup Final: “I congratulate them, because beyond losing the final they have had a great Copa del Rey, with many options to win it until the last moment. And I encourage them, because this is part of the difficulty in training any player and coach. We have very interesting players there, very young, who somehow ensure the future of Espanyol. I’m very happy for all of them.”
