…RAUL

I am going to avoid talking about other people's situations. I am delighted with Raúl and the four forwards. He is committed to all training sessions. He is a player who clearly needs good performances so that the fan can see that brilliance and joy, it is more difficult for him to express it. There is no trait that makes me think that, but I focus on my time here. Raúl is 100% committed.

…ALMERIA

Almería has already been relegated and does not have that competitive tension like we have. The Almería squad, offensively, has a very high level, they have demonstrated it in the First Division. In defence if you don't have that balance you suffer. I think that's what happened to them. It is a team that is very powerful on an offensive level and tomorrow we have to be more forceful than in Villarreal if we want to win.

…CHANGES

The way I understand the individual performance of the players and therefore the one that is transferred to the collective is the one that is demonstrated week after week, that it remains in an optimal state. Based on what is seen day after day I choose. The only way to be chosen is from Monday to Saturday to show your virtues, your performance and make me doubt.

…INJURY REPORT

They are all available except for Pathé Ciss due to suspension and Diego Méndez who is long-term, although he is taking steps towards full recovery.

…MARCOS PENA

The reserve team is in the playoffs and I think Marcos Peña now has to help the first team. If what we want is for people to come out of the quarry, it is the best time. I am a youth coach and Marcos is an ideal player for the team. Marcos Peña is going to play tomorrow.

…OUR MORAL

I am in a difficult moment. I have always worked honestly. When you are like that, you see everything with optimism. Then the results arrive and that loneliness of the coach. I have to put my experience on the table for the team. We have disappointed people.

…FUTURE

I am a coach who is on the market as of June 30. These games are very important for the players and for me. I'm going to put those who are better and those who want to eat the grass. Among them will be Marcos Peña. In 2018 I went to Second and it has been difficult for me to return to First. Spanish football is very demanding. The teams to train are usually the same, so it is a privilege to have a position in professional football.
