…RENATO

Renato is not going to be there. It is the first day that he has done the session and we prefer that he accumulate more sessions so that what happened to us on the day of Rayo does not happen to us because we wanted to force him. It is better that we wait for him to complete some more sessions.

…LAST DEFEAT

It's a game in which we didn't play well, that we didn't like, and we had conversations during the week. We analysed the game and were self-critical of ourselves, first of all me with my work. The week has been good.

…TEAM LEVEL

We have been able to understand why it happened to us, why we were not at the level we required. We have to be realistic, our level is not as low as we showed the other day nor as high as it may seem at times against Las Palmas. We have to try to be more stable, more continuous. I already said it before the game against Alavés. We have to look for more continuity and be more stable and we are on that path. It has more to do with our head and our continuity. We preferred to be higher up, it is logical, we are people. Soccer players, although they may not seem like it, are people too, they have their fears and concerns. I see people trusting in what we do, with good day-to-day ambition.

…VILLAREAL

It is a great team. In this category there is no team that does not have its strengths and that does not have a way to hurt you. They arrive in a very good dynamic, they are in the best moment in terms of results and play.

…INJURY REPORT

Eric has basically been training all week at a normal group pace, so he will be available. Gerard hasn't trained all week and won't be there. Pedraza had a little problem but today he has integrated into the normal dynamic and will be there. The rest, those of us who were there.

OPPONENT

Rayo and Celta have the same game. In no case did we beat Rayo because they didn't have anything at stake, but because we played a good game. Now we play against a Celta in need like us. We face the game with the utmost respect. Dispensing with a prestigious and tremendously damaged coach, from a distance it did not seem logical to me, but it is football and you have to be at the expense of the decisions. From here on Celta has won in Seville and the team has moved into the regularity of the season.

… A WIN NEEDED

You have to win this one and the next one. If we win we continue adding and if not the distance moves away. Why are we going to be doing the maths if we only have to win. You have to focus on the immediate.
