Green and white coach Iván Ania visited the press room ahead of the match against Huesca next Monday at 8:30 p.m. in El Alcoraz.
He stressed the importance of the set piece and assured that “in tomorrow’s training we will work on the set piece. Huesca scored fifteen goals, finished six, three were goals that speak very well. their success rate. They also have a very long throw-in, the set piece decides the game in case of a tie. In this sense, we will have to be vigilant, we will see if we have to modify something, we have declared that they are a team with a lot of success on set pieces.”
Team evolution
Ania acknowledged: “I see that the team has evolved in the last two games. It has improved compared to the first three, it has taken a step forward, the new ones are more integrated, they have more mechanisms. The victory the other day should reassure us and give the players the confidence to continue growing. The game between Malaga and Dépor gave us a good idea of what we can do, the intensity should be the same as last week. We must use these games to know that being superior, Deport gave us clear chances. We have analyzed where they come from and these are mistakes that we cannot repeat, self-criticism is where the growth of the team can reside.
Same image: local and visitor
The Asturian acknowledged that “we don’t change much between home and away, the numbers from last season say it. Our proposal is the same, although there are teams that play more intensely at home, we have the same proposal, I’m sure that You meet the objectives as a localIf you are very strong, you are closer and anything you can add away from home as a visitor is welcome. “We are not very keen on change, we are capable of winning at home and away.”
Antonio Casas
Faced with the agitation around a possible negotiation with Antonio Casas, his coach has come forward and said that “I see him totally focused, at a very good level”. The work that makes repetition of efforts, to press, it’s very good. “He may be more or less right in front of goal but the work always gives him, I don’t think he thinks about a possible negotiation, I think he is focused on the sport.”
Jude Soonsup-Bell
Regarding Jude Soonsup-Bell’s lack of participation, Ania recalled that “since he played, there has only been one game. With each passing day, the boy adapts better to the new situations he finds himself in. In training, Martínez helps him with the translation, which he may have botched, me. We tested him to the extremes on any band and at the tip. He adapts to his new situations, it’s a long period, it wasn’t going to be an immediate performance. You can’t imagine how difficult it is arrive in a new countrydifferent language, different climate, food. many situations. The faster you adapt, the more immediate it will be. This is something we have considered, his performance does not only depend on what he trains or what he works on the field, there are many things that affect performance, I hope he can focus only on the field.
Layoffs
Tenerife’s Óscar Cano and Granada’s Guillermo Abascal were relieved of their duties on the bench. For Iván Ania, “five days is a short margin, not only because of the team’s performance, at this stage everything is recoverable but the environment provokes these situations and false expectations. Quick decisions, giving a margin of five or six days with many new players, with a different proposal, are short. But coaches are exposed to these situations, sometimes they dictate the results and sometimes they are decisions based on unrealistic expectations.
