"The goal is always to compete"
Quique insists that "we have to do things very well and that the opponent does them bad because if not, the result will not come"
Quique Sánchez Flores has been very pragmatic before the visit of this weekend to Bernabeu. The coach insists that "the goal is always to compete and do the best. The game has to be played from the ambition because the threat is the rival. We will play without the tension that takes away energy with the intention of getting a good result. We know that we will have to do things very well and they badly because if not, the result will not come".
The blue-and-white coach considers that you cannot just think about annulling a player "because others will appear. You have to think collectively and that everyone is doing their best".
Quique reiterates that, so far, "we have played good games and we have not won and in others, much worse, yes we have achieved the victory. The results are one thing and the level of growth of the team, another completely different. We want to keep growing and competing. In this type of scenarios we have to generate uncertainty to the rival".
The coach, who recalled that the last time Espanyol said that "we continue working with the idea of abandoning pessimism and conformism. It seems that we are forbidden to be better. We want to win, to score, to do something different but always from the respect to the rival. Those who have won there know that we had to make a perfect match and that the opponent not that good".
In the same way he emphasizes that "the League does not deceive and leaves each one where it deserves in the end. And if we are now here is because there are other teams that are better than us and others that are behind us. In this case we must try to choose well where to close spaces and not always defend in the same space. We try to think this is what we will perform in the field and hope that everything goes well for us".
