A team with very high performance conveys a feeling of solidity as a team and as a club structure. We are always using Real Sociedad as an example. A team is coming that has intensity and a very clear idea.
A good coach, a good structure, and it is going to be difficult. It's going to be very difficult but we have enthusiasm, desire and we have to make the team compete. If the game goes well we will compete. If not, we will have to push to compete.
Many times we think we have to put 5 defenders to defend better. Sometimes you defend better with 2. That depends. You have to put 5 attackers to attack better… sometimes it is not like that because you make a block. That they do it well is very good.

Manager on Real Sociedad…ZUBIMENDI and BARRENETXEA
In Málaga they were very fair, and in San Mamés, even more so. There would already be four games like this, and we have decided that they should rest and recover well, because they cannot help the team that way. As I have always said, if a player is not there it is an opportunity for another.
…RAFA BENITEZ
A very good coach, with a lot of experience, and we knew he was going to get the most out of his squad.
…TEAM CONDITION
It is a different Reality. My level of demand and that of the team remains the same. We cannot ask the same of boys who have not yet even proven that they are First Division players, even if they are on a team. But as I said, there are no excuses. With what we have, we have to move forward. But we have to be aware of which team we are competing with now. We are going to try to continue doing the same. That's why I said that we had to give a lot of value to what the team is doing, even if it has the absences it is having.
