Beñat San José: "We must show our personality and our playing identity, no matter who the opponent is"

Express preparation: "Yes, we have trained focused exclusively on tomorrow's match. It is a match that will be played on a surface different from what we are used to playing on and against an opponent that is also from another category, but we have studied them as well. We went to see them live, and our reserve team drew with them. They are a team with very clear ideas, a vertical style of play, and a lot of crosses into the box. They are very well-prepared with a strong idea, and we will have to be very attentive to play with our personality and be ambitious. We are very motivated for the start of the cup, and today we trained in that direction."

The opponent: "They are a team with very clear ideas, a vertical style of play, and they don't hesitate. They are good at gathering players for the second ball and have a clear idea of crossing into the box quickly, with players of great stature. A very compact team, and regardless of where they are in the standings, they have a well-developed and clear idea. When you face teams like this, you have to be very careful because they have their strengths. We must show our personality and our style of play, no matter who the opponent is. We are going to be very motivated to play this match."

Away match: "More than comparing it to the league, what we want is to play a good match and win. We want to advance, and that is the main goal. I believe that in the league, we have another important challenge next Saturday, and that will really be our challenge."

Advancing rounds to bring the Cup to Ipurua: "You can't imagine the buzz in the locker room and the excitement there is. It would be a very good sign for our people to be able to do something special. But for that, we have to take it step by step; there is no next round without passing the first one."

Cup motivation: "I see the players doing very well; we are very motivated, very excited, and we know who we are. We have a match wearing the Eibar jersey, and when you wear the Eibar jersey, you have to give it your all. We have to play a match with our personality, with great intensity, and giving it everything. That is the best way not only to achieve a good result but also for the player to show their best, which is what they have to do in every match. My players know this perfectly, and that's how we trained today."
