"Humility and ambition"
Javi López points out that the team wants to give continuity to the good feelings transmitted during the summer preparation
After a good preseason, the moment of debut is approaching. Captain Javi Lopez points out that the team must have "humility and ambition" and has said that it would be very positive to start winning this Saturday to Celta to confirm the good feelings transmitted during the summer preparation.
"At the beginning of the preseason we are always with the renewed illusions, the desire to do beautiful things... we have to know where we are, the opportunity we have, we are in a historic club, in the best league. From the first game we have to have the maximum ambition and humility. They are the two keys". In this sense, he said that the preseason serves to "take a game model. It has served us for that, to see the idea, the way of working... It has given us confidence to see the way forward. This style of play, we started a month ago and little, and you have to improve it more. You have to be aware that we have done a good pre-race but that does not give points for the League". The defender, also, has commented that "it is very important to go with ambition, but humility, to think that we can go in any field. We have the illusion of starting winning".
Asked about the goal of the season, the captain is very clear about what the team's steps should be. "We have not had that meeting because the president has not come. The goal that we have to score is to have the maximum possible ambition, to fight for the maximum and that can only be achieved match by match and thinking that you can win every game".
One of the novelties of this season will be the incorporation of the VAR. The squad has received a talk at the Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque. Javi López believes that this tool will help the referee. "It will be in the interest of football. For us and the amateur, at the beginning, it will be hard for us to see when he will come to value, but it is in his benefit because those clear mistakes that create so much controversy will be solved. It is also a way to help the referee".
