Meeting Highlights…ABOUT THE MATCH
For me the results of the rivals and the classification in the table have no influence. What we must always have is the motivation to win the games. It is evident that to beat Rayo we will have to modify the intensity compared to the game against Almería.
…EUROPE FIGHT
The first way is to win ourselves, we don't have to look at others. To continue with options we have to win with ourselves. You have to add a lot to have options. To do this we have to add what we have at home. We are at a disadvantage and that is why we have to win.
…OPPONENT
It is a team that gets good results away from home. Now practically with the victory last weekend against Osasuna, if it does not certify, it leaves it very close to achieving permanence. We expect a competitive, very intense Rayo. They give you little time to think and execute. They make you uncomfortable when you have the ball...
…INJURY REPORT
We recovered the two sanctioned, they have no physical problems. We have doubts about Gerard, that we are going to be proactive. We are going to act in such a way that what is a nuisance does not become an injury. Bertrand Traoré is permanently out. Bailly is not on time yet although he is in a good process. Foyth, Pino and company are long-term injuries.

Inigo Perez
Manager on Rayo Vallecano…INJURY REPORT
Álvaro is training with the team. We have recovered him for the cause. All the fans and we are aware of the sporting and human value that Oscar Valentín has in the squad. He is always at the top of duels and recoveries. He is a very important player for our game proposal. Aridane and Kike are in a good moment, close, but we are not going to be able to use them yet.
…OPPONENT
Right now Villarreal is one of the teams that is most in shape. They come from a first phase in which they did not start, they had a second phase when Marcelino took over the team in which it was difficult for them to adapt to the new ideas and now after that process they already have all the mechanisms that the coach wants, both offensive and defensive.
…STANDINGS
I notice that the team with the comeback the other day has had a boost on an emotional level. I like to be cautious. Being close does not mean that you have achieved it, especially in such a complex League. In the last days there are always victories that you cannot imagine. We have to take advantage of the dynamics and momentum to be closer to permanence.
…ISI PALAZON
Goals come when you don't expect it. The goal is the most difficult thing to find in football. There are many forwards who spend many days without scoring. The other day it came to him and he deserves it on a personal level. Him and everyone, but Isi especially because he has not had a good season. This goal has been good for him but we have to enjoy the victories for a few hours and then start thinking about what is coming.
