Luis García appeared in the preview of the match against Real Racing Club, a team he highlighted: "We expect a very beautiful and attractive match. It is a team with a lot of firepower and many options, it is no coincidence that they are leaders at this stage," to which he added: "We are two teams that want to have the ball and try to connect, we hope to have a lot of people on our side to achieve a victory that would be very rewarding."
These were some of his statements:
"Marvin had some muscle problems in the days leading up to the match against Real Sporting, but he is fully available. Viti can play in any position because he gives us a lot of versatility, he can adapt perfectly."
"I would be worried if the players coming off the bench didn't contribute to what the game needs at that moment, I have a lot of confidence in our squad."
"Racing has many players who can make a difference, so we will have to be very attentive to all those options."
"We recover Marvin, Iñaki after the knock in Extremadura, Jesé... there are also people who are doing partial training and little by little they are joining the group."
"The motivation is the same because we are a very stable group. We know very well the path we have to follow and we are lucky to have experienced people who calm the young players in these types of situations."
"Each team has its game plan and for me, it is totally respectable to defend low or high, we have to try to identify the game we have in front of us. Opponents change their way of defending and attacking against us, but that is neither better nor worse."
"Racing has three top-level forwards and we have to be prepared to try to defend against any of those who participate."
"Jonathan Viera is not available but it is true that he is participating in partial training."
"We expect from Jesé what we expect from any player, to give us options and hopefully he can have that continuity so he can play more minutes."
"What the Racing coach is doing is very commendable, he has been in the position for three years and that nowadays seems incredible. He is doing an amazing job."
"With Kirian we must be calm, he is training well and physically he is getting better and better. He is gaining those competition minutes that will help him."
