We are facing a solid team, slightly different from last year, but their counterattacks and individual talent up front make them logically a tough opponent. They have had a good start to the season.

These were some of his statements:

I am convinced that the fans will be supporting and pushing us. They are aware that every match entails an added difficulty. They are the 12th player, they will surely be with us and with a smile.

The important thing is to create goal-scoring opportunities, the team is growing. What I am seeing is growth and greater solidity in what we want to do, beyond the short time we have had.

Jefté will score goals and will surely give us points. The fact that he hasn’t done so yet doesn’t mean it’s a situation that will last over time.

At first glance, the injury report is the same. We have Clemente with slight discomfort, and we don’t know if he will be able to play or not. We’ll see if we can recover something for Eibar.

Winning, more than for the statistics, is good for everyone who is part of UD. It is the biggest challenge, the excitement. We have an extra stimulus, but that shouldn’t lead us to rush things.

Burgos is characterized by punishing your mistakes, and in that regard, we have to be smart, especially when attacking.

I am a true admirer of players who have the ability to break through. There will come a time when you need that brilliance to get you out of tough situations.

Sometimes it’s precisely those small moments of breaking through that make game plans work, and not having that type of profile makes you rethink what the team needs to do to create advantageous situations.

Caro is an outstanding goalkeeper. He gives me enormous confidence, and all these situations that are adjustable will be, allowing him to become an even more complete goalkeeper.

I aspire that if tomorrow the opponents press us high, we can overcome that pressure and cause them trouble.

If on Sunday Burgos presses us, we need to have the ability to overcome that pressure and make things difficult for them. If the game goes that way, we need to move them, disorganize them, and take advantage of opportunities.

We have to be prepared so that, regardless of what happens, we are capable of causing them trouble, and the team has the quality and resources to make that happen.

We are at a point in the season where we are dealing with quite a few absences in the defensive area, which makes you measure the convenience of pairing one player with another, or bringing a third player closer...

What we achieve this season will be the result of everything we are willing to offer, including those players who are not currently getting the playing time they would like but will inevitably have to step up as the season progresses.

Burgos is a team that doesn’t give away goal-scoring opportunities.

Opoku will be back sooner than anyone can imagine.

I am here to try to help the club, and to help, one must bring out the best in every player, whether they have been playing more or less.

As a coach, the important thing is to create value, and in that regard, I see everyone capable of contributing.
