Meeting Highlights…TEAM MOOD
The truth is that one of my jobs is to try to strengthen the mentality and ensure that they do not hurt us with little that happens to us. We are facing a situation in which our main function is to make the players feel like winners and win a game. Without winning it is impossible to think about anything. The other day we were not well, mainly me, and we looked for solutions to achieve better results.
…INJURY REPORT
Matías ArezoVis a player that we have among the four forwards that we have today. He is in the pool like everyone else and I need the 23 players 100% with us regardless of whether they have minutes or not. Now we have to look at the shield and show pride in this hobby. Arezo is a noble player, I have spoken with him and he is willing to give everything. Gonzalo Villar is completely available for the group and I think he is adding to the cause. We decided to change to Hongla, since we needed a different style for the second half with Gumbau.
…LAST DEFEAT
I never regret it, because I think the game plan was well drawn. Once the game starts you have to know how to interpret it and we didn't have that intensity and depth that I wanted. The second half with the changes we intended to do and we didn't reach what my mentality expected from the team.

Manager on Valencia…YAREMCHUK’S LOSS
It's a sensitive loss because he was in good shape and felt good. The influence of a physical improvement had made him feel good and it is a shame. She's been passing us through the entire season. If she is not one, she is another. It's the tone of the season. We cannot regret it.
…INJURY REPORT
Canós is called up, he has trained well, and the sensations have been good. André Almeida is a player who has quality, who can give us the last pass. Diakhaby has returned because he has to do rehabilitation here and he will have to go there to undergo check-ups but the bulk of the recovery will be done here. He is animated. He will come and go.
…GRANADA
I don't think we should think that Granada has no possibilities. They are at home, with their people, they risk their pride and it is a team that has qualities. I hope for a very good Granada. Logically, the Granada coach has to have the idea that they can win. We have to focus on playing a good game.
