"Show our best performance"
Antonio Díaz says the team travels to Valencia "with all the illusion of the world"
Antonio Díaz, assistant coach and technical analyst, has served this morning as head of the first team in the absence of Quique Sánchez Flores, suffering from a viral process. The assistant blue and white coach said that the team maintains the same level of work throughout the season and that they face the final stretch of the championship "with all the illusion of the world".
The absence of Óscar Duarte: "He was dragging some discomfort throughout the week. He trained well, but we preferred to give him a little care. It's a problem in the left ankle. He has not been able to rest for the matches of the national team, and that is why we have preferred him to stop now".
Valencia: "We try to analyse everything. The last of Valencia and what we did in the first round. We have seen that game and we are very sorry that the final result was not the one we deserved".
Improve the image: "Whenever we face a game we try to show our best face and tomorrow is an opportunity to do so. We do look forward to tis match. "
Marked by the casualties: "We put the players that we think are more fit. We do not think about rotations but to go with the best possible eleven to give the maximum level ".
Winning the big ones: "It's been a great season at that level. Winning Barcelona, Madrid and At. Madrid speaks very well of the group and the work they are doing. Sometimes football has these things. Last year we had better results with half-table teams down and this year has been the other way around. Let's hope to continue the streak. By illusion it will not be left".
Conditioned line up: "All players have been entering the team. They are prepared and they have had minutes. There will be nothing strange. "
Mentalize the team: "I think we have the maximum enthusiasm to do the best we can for the rest of the season. We have a very professional group, which has worked to the fullest and has shown its face. We hope to have the point of luck that we have missed so far. We will continue fighting to get it. We have not noticed anything like lowering our arms".
