"We arrived well to the match"
Quique warns that "we are not overconfident" and said that "I have seen players with their feet on the ground"
Quique Sánchez Flores continues to contribute doses of pragmatism in all the analyses he does before and after matches. "I believe in that. I imagine many times the result. I see it in my brain. If I do not see it, I can not transmit it. I thought what a victory would be like, but when I have those thoughts, I also know the difficulty I will have and the things I have to do well. Everything is in context".
He said that a derby "is a different game," but points out that "we arrive to the game well. Emotionally well, without anxiety, balanced and it is quite necessary to face it as well. We have to hurry our options. We are facing a rival that will demand the most".
“If this match was in a few months, we will be a better team, but now we are a team that grows, that progresses, believes in what it does and we play against a team that during these years has been far superior to their rivals".
“We are not overconfident or afraid. We have respect, like all rivals. We have to have the mental and physical agility to take the party to our terrain. I have seen the players well, with their feet on the ground. They are aware that they are progressing, but there is still room for work."
