Rubén Peña: If you take your eye off the ball in Primera, any one of the sides are capable of wiping the floor with you

Rubén Peña today spoke of how, "in Primera you can't afford to take your eye off the ball in any of the games because any one of the sides are capable of wiping the floor with you".
The SD Eibar midfielder was speaking at an event held to present the Robotics workshops offered by the SD Eibar Foundation and Wiko to be staged at the Ipurua Training Centre.
"It's a good initiative for all of the youngsters from Eibar", he stated.
When quizzed about the side's clash against Osasuna on 17 October and in view of the side's strong start to the LaLiga Santander campaign - which included the 1-1 draw away to Real Madrid last Sunday - Peña insisted that, "we go into the game in fine form".
"To take a point from the Santiago Bernabéu isn't something that every team is capable of doing. Some players go their whole career without managing it. We really put ourselves on the line to get the point and to have got a point there is a very positive experience".
"Although Osasuna might be on a bad run, they're still creating chances. They're not in Primera by chance and they'll be wanting to prove that. It's still early days to be talking about their situation as being critical. If they put a run of two or three wins together, they claw themselves out of the relegation zone. The nerves could be getting the better of them, but regardless of that, we need to look to make the most of our strengths. We're in fine form and have to keep on training hard to continue improving, that's our aim as we look to take the three points, which would be great".
Peña is unavailable for tomorrow's friendly fixture in Lerma (Burgos) against his former employers, Leganés after having picked up a knock against Real Madrid.
