Meeting Highlights…ABOUT MATCH
We had individual and collective talks. They, beyond the fact that as a coach I can convey the importance of the game, they already know it. It is a very important game for the future. We played at home, in front of our fans and in a good moment for the team. We work normally, but marking the significance of the meeting.
…DEFENCE
Having changes in defence for different reasons is a bit disruptive, but we have been training with everyone. We would like to have stability, but this is football. There have been sanctions and injuries in recent games that have prevented us from repeating the defensive line. It is part of the process, we are always exposed to these problems.
…ALMERIA
We play against an opponent who, although they are last in the table, have done well in several games to get a better result. In the games they have played away from home they have been very close to scoring points in many of them deservedly. They have good players and they know what they are playing, although unfortunately for them they have not added all the points they deserved.

Pepe Mel
Manager on Almeria…INJURY REPORT
Pubill is fine. Yesterday we had him with caution just in case because he had some minor discomfort but he did arrive. César Montes is the one who does not arrive and in addition to those sanctioned, those of us who are there are going without problems. They are players who have not played for a long time, and each session they train is one more in the legs. Viera has been training all week now, Choco has also done another week of training... The other day he held us for 60 minutes and we'll see if he can hold out for us a little longer. Every day that passes they can be a little more.
…LACK OF GOAL
It is an option to put Melero in the centre, yes. Luka is a player who always plays from the middle of the field to the left. On the left wing he has played very little. His characteristics are to go inward instead of outward. I don't see it on the left. It's not that he can't play but it's not the idea.
…ABOUT MATCH
We have to be solid against Granada. We always have arguments in an attack to hurt the opponent. When we get to those situations we have to score a goal, because we have missed good chances. "You have to have that success too.
