Green and White coach Iván Ania visited the press room before the match against Albacete next Sunday at 9:00 p.m. at Carlos Belmonte.
Even though Granada did not win at home and Córdoba did not win away, Ania considered that “both teams leave with the intention of winning the match. They play their first match at home with the new coach, with Escribá We have the references of these two games, but as visitors and we will see what it offers us there as locals. game of alternatives It is clear that they start favorites because they play at home and. They are a recently relegated team. We are a recently promoted team, but in football anything can happen and we go there with the intention of winning. A rival that we know has a lot of potential, but is more or less with us in the standings. “
FIFA Virus
There are three Granada players who will not be there after being called up by their national team: Giorgi Tsitaishvili, Myrto Uzuni and Martin Hongla. Ania admitted that “it doesn’t matter if Uzuni or Lucas Boyé play, at the end of the day they are First Division players, they are in the Second Division because of the circumstances of relegation, but they are players with a lot of potential”. Hongla doesn’t play, but Sergio Ruiz can play or Trigueros can play. The level of those who will enter is as good or better than that of those who will not be available. In this sense, the fact that there is only the reference to three absolute internationals, beyond the country, tells us about the potential of the rival we are facing. I think that beyond the names, it is a team that is now collectively solid.
Comfortable setting
Iván Ania also answered the question of whether it was better for Córdoba to play with a team that offers, that wants to have the ball, a comfortable scenario last year. For him, “because of the potential of the rival, certainly not because it is a rival who has a lot of potential and we understand that the match is going to be more difficult than if we faced a rival with less potential”. What is clear is that to win there you have to have a lot of personality. If we want to lock ourselves in and give the initiative to the rival, it is difficult to defend many minutes of play, we have to go with respect but without any fear. And to win in this kind of scenarios you need to have a lot of personality because the rival team has a lot of potential. Give in very little and succeed in attack, in the situations you can generate.
Match Type
Regarding the type of game he expects, he believes that “they will focus more on theirs than on ours, trying to win the game. I don’t think they have in mind the fact that they didn’t win at home. I think it’s more for the exterior than the interior itself. Because there are times when, instead of being a help, if you repeat it several times, it becomes a a slab for the team. Ultimately you have to go into the game thinking about what you want to do, thinking about winning it, and then game development shows you what can happen.
Left-back: Álex López or Calderón
Regarding Álex López’s performance last week, he said that “he kept his promises, he was good, he was right. At the beginning, in the first part, a little more fearful in the sense that he was difficult to get up We are a team where our full-backs go very high and he. he was afraid of unprotecting his areabut it was not an easy vote for him. This year, he was injured in the first week of preseason. He didn’t do pre-season, he always did it separately. He has not yet made his debut, even with the reserve team, and he participated in one second division match, as a debutant. “I think he was more than right and he is a player who has shown that we can count on him if we need him.”
