Joseba Etxeberria: "We're going to go for the game from the off”
The Eibar coach stresses that "every point has a greater value, especially against direct rivals like Valladolid"
Joseba Etxeberria has assured that his team will "go for the game from the outset", following the model of three matchdays ago at Butarque "in which, in addition to the game, we showed a point of personality that is very important in this type of match at this stage of the championship".
In the press conference prior to Sunday's match in Valladolid, the coach stressed that "there is less and less time left and every point has a greater value, especially against direct rivals like Valladolid, knowing that at home they are at a great level".
JOSEBA ETXEBERRIA’S PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES
“We have been talking and when both parties want the same thing, it’s easy. I’m very comfortable here because I have good players and I’ve felt backed by everyone, even after a complicated start to the season with bad results. What I feel, from people on the street as well as at Ipurua, it’s easy to take the decision to continue, it’s the best place for me and it’s where I want to be to continue developing this project. Eibar has solidity and a project and I want to be part of that.”
“We always say that in Segunda it is very even and every game is difficult because all of the teams are competitive, but there is less and less time left and every point has a greater value, especially against direct rivals like Valladolid.”
“We have to take the game at Butarque as an example, in which, in addition to the game, we showed a point of personality that is very important in this type of match at this stage of the championship.”
“I understand that they’ll be thinking that they can beat us and be only one point behind, but if we win we can put an important distance between us. We have to focus on preparing the game well and knowing what we want to happen.”
“I’m not worried about possible suspensions because we have a very competitive and deep squad so we aren’t going to calculate when to get a fifth yellow card because every game is equally as important. When players are missing, the team will respond just like always.”
