I always say that all points are worth the same; But, even so, I am not going to deny that I am looking forward to the time. The derbies are different games, especially for the fans, who feel greater pride in being from Alavés when these types of games are won. I'm sure we're going to compete, just like we did there in Anoeta.
They are very good, that is the reality. They have a great team and, as soon as they have been released from matches, they have returned to performing at their best level. I see it as essential not to lose our identity, seeking to put them behind and force them to run.
During the week, I have emphasised the importance of not disconnecting from the match if they receive a blow, as happened in San Mamés. Furthermore, although I don't expect to make big changes to tomorrow's starting eleven, I do see several players, some of the less common ones, pushing hard" and, therefore, knocking on the door.

Imanol Alguacil
Manager on Real Sociedad…PREPARATION
They have been different days. Some who stayed and had a load of minutes have rested, others have been able to work a little more, while we have also taken the opportunity to see players from the reserve team, which is something I love.
…ALAVES
He has shown to have several playing records. The three inside, if Guridi is in good shape, are high-level players. It is a team that does a lot of damage in transitions, has players with a lot of verticality on the wings and knows how to play space wonderfully. They are having a very good season, but they cannot relax, because Cádiz has started to win and they are seven points away.
…INJURY REPORT
If Barrenetxea is in the call it is because he can lend a hand. Tomorrow you will check if he is starting or not. Odriozola is not there yet, although I hope he can make it to the next match. I see Jonmi Aramburu better. Everyone else is fine. The internationals have returned well. Turrientes and Zakharyan, also Olasagasti, Pablo Marín or Goti. If I see that one of the reserve teams is better, I will bet on him. There are solutions.
