"We have goals to achieve"
Darder insists that the team wants to finish in the best possible position
Sergi Darder is very clear that the team has nine games ahead to finish in the best possible position. The Balearic midfielder insists that Espanyol will keep fighting and working to correct errors and improve their position in the final classification.
Without goals?: "There are always individual, collective goals... We must try to finish as best as possible. We are a bit far from where we would like to be, but we will continue fighting, working and trying to correct mistakes and stay as high as possible ".
Change of mentality: "At Lyon we had a 90% chance of winning each game, but it was not easy either. I knew he was coming to a club where you do not fight to get first or second. I am happy, grateful and eager to improve individually and collectively. We have a margin of challenging matches to achieve our goals."
Ambition: "You always expect more. If we had six or seven more points, we would want more. When you are not in the expected objectives at the beginning of the season you want many more. You have to be ambitious."
League break: "I do not think that influences. After losing a complicated match it is good to focus on other things. You have to think about Sunday's game, because it's nice, we play in a good schedule and we have to hook people in this final section of the season."
Up in the league: "When the season started we did not talk about Europe as a goal, but to be as high as possible and improve the records of last season. There are nine games left and we will continue fighting for our goals. We want to win the maximum possible matches and improve to finish the season well".
Relax: "When things are not going well, you have extra pressure. The goal was to stay as high as possible and when things do not go away, you have more pressure, there is more nervousness. When things do not go well, it's when you need everyone the most".
Supplement: "I lost the game against Real Sociedad as I was banned one match. The team won and it is normal for the coach to repeat. I have no right to complain about the minutes I played. I have to be self-critical and I have to improve. I will work to play the maximum possible minutes".
Improve: "Europe is a more exciting goal than real. Failure to qualify for Europe is not a failure and it can not be considered a disastrous season either. We want to get to play in Europe, but we must become obsessed".
