Manolo Márquez: "We are thinking of playing Vitolo"

Manolo Márquez is considering playing Vitolo tomorrow against Athletic Club. "He has fully recovered from his injury". he said. "There may be the odd change to the starting line-up"

There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

"The atmosphere changes when you get a win. Now our intention is to carry on the run at our home stadium", pointed out the Catalan trainer for UD Las Palmas. "Bigas will not be playing, as he is still feeling discomfort in his knee".

With reference to tomorrow’s rivals, Athletic Club, he said. "They have a large and talented squad. They started their pre-season early on and are fitter than the rest of the teams. The may suffer a bit for having to play two games in 72 hours, but we saw how they rested a few of their players a couple of days ago in Germany. Athletic are a team that pressure really well when they don’t have the ball, and they are hard to score against".

"One of the keys to victory is that we keep up with our recent improvement. The first team to score will have a great head start", he pointed out. He finished by talking about Hernán Toledo. "He is not playing because there is great competition for the position he plays in. It is hard for him to settle in".
