“Real Sociedad is an example to us”
Quique Sánchez Flores said that "it is a good symptom" to think positively every week
Quique Sánchez Flores continues to show his full confidence in the work done and his pragmatism to face this second round of the championship. The manager does not avoid talking about the possibilities of the team and assures that "it is a good symptom" to be asked daily about the options to qualify for the European competition. "We can’t avoid the supporter’s dreams. We work to generate a positive atmosphere, to think big and positive. Then we'll see how far we reach if we have proper tools. If we do not have them, we can not be incoherent with ourselves and think big. It would be very good news to ask us this until the end of the season. It would mean that we would have options until the end of the season. But we, inwardly, know the steps to reach that and we will do it from humility and from tranquility", he said.
The blue-and-white coach also said that "if I could, I would like to win the League, as Leicester did. I wish we had 48 points and we could fight for the title" and adds that" I like people to get excited about my work. Those things are what fill me."
About Real Sociedad points out that it has been growing "for years and is a good example to look at. They keep players, they maintain their model and that makes them a great team. They have plenty of tools. They have good technical and physical quality, and very clear idea of the game. It is a team that has alternatives, very complete, we will have to be very concetrated."
He insists that "at the beginning of the season R. Sociedad was not a direct rival because it was a team that already thought in Europe and had been consolidating its project for several years. Although we now have different goals, our idea is to compete with teams that have goals higher than ours".
