Madrid, Jan 8 (EFE) .- José Luis Martí, Leganés coach, was confident that his team will be a candidate for promotion to the top flight of Spanish football throughout this season.
“I think we are going to be and we will be a candidate for promotion, for sure. I have no doubt, until the end. There are specific moments in which the team can have more speed when it comes to circulating the ball, to generate more chances. And above all correct. The main problem now is that we are not getting it right, regardless of the fact that I think we should generate more chances to score, “he said.
Facing this goal of going up, achieving victory this day against Almería, a team that leads them by seven points in the table, seems necessary: ”Obviously it has a tremendous importance. It is a direct rival to whom we want to cut points and for us It is an interesting situation to keep looking up, to know that we are going to find ourselves a very difficult opponent. “
“We are confident in our possibilities, we are going to work with that humility and that work that we usually do to try to win the three points,” he added to the media at a press conference.
In that sense, he commented: “There are three more points but when it is a direct rival they are of greater importance, of course. Apart from adding them, you subtract them and do not let them add. There is also the possible goalaverage in case of equality. There are three more points but we focus on the next match and this takes on greater importance. We want to show that we are very much alive in this competition and that we aspire to the maximum. “
“We have to win three points and we have to lose three points. But we do not think about the dynamics of losing. We think about the dynamics of breaking this streak of results. Of trying to work with humility, with simplicity and above all with ambition to achieve all three. points we need, “he said.
He also acknowledged that planning has been complicated ‘a little bit’ because of the snow, although he hopes it will not affect them: “The idea is not to change, try to press up and recover the ball as quickly as possible although we have a rival who is from those who risk the most, of those who pass the most per game, who live through the association. We have to stop them and that’s the idea we have. “
Getting ahead can tip the balance: “It is important. We are generating quite a few chances at the beginning of the game, we are not going wrong. But it is the success that determines everything a bit. It is clear that for us to get ahead on the scoreboard is going to always be very important to be able to manage the game. “
On the other hand, he analyzed the Cup qualifying round that he will have to measure against Sevilla, the club in which he was a player: “Prefer a different one … is the one that has touched us. It is clear that it is a team … uf. I’ve been lucky. from living in that city for five years, playing on that team, and he has proven himself. “
“It is one of the most powerful teams in the highest category of Spanish football. It will be complicated but we have the illusion of continuing to grow, to continue to improve and to continue in the competition. It will be difficult but there is a lot left and we are going to focus on Almería,” he added . EFE
