Sporting de Gijón trained this morning in Mareo with the good news of seeing Jordi Calavera complete the session without problems. The Catalan winger aims to be able to enter the call for the visit to Real Sociedad B. Those who remain on the sidelines, although it is expected that they may be available, are Marc Valiente and Fran Villalba. The morning continued with the delivery to Christian Rivera of the “Five Star” player award organized by Mahou and awarded to the best player on the team over the past month. “I want to thank everyone who has been supporting me from the beginning for this award. I also want to send a message to the fans, not to give up,” said the man from Gijón.
Match. “We face it like everyone so far. We are in a somewhat difficult or even strange situation after the change of coach. He is a rival who could be direct. You have to win yes or yes.”
person moment. “Regarding the number of games, I am in the best moment, although I am not having the ascending level that I had been maintaining. Like everyone else, we still have a lot to improve.”
Changes. “Little things have changed in me. Now I’m lucky that they’re playing me and I’m performing. At first the coach was asked a lot about why he didn’t play. In the end I have teammates who are just as good as me. Like everything in life, there are ups and downs.
Bugs to improve. “We have to be concentrated and attentive. Analyzing the other day, we played a good game, but you have concentration errors in a corner… Those small errors mark football today. We have to improve many things, but above all in that”.
Dragera and its compatibility. “We are all older, professionals, he is doing well (in reference to Gragera and his substitution). We would like to play together, we often say so, but the coach decides. I would love to play with the 24 teammates I have. I would play with anyone. I mean that sincerely.”
Descent ghost. “Direct rival? The reality is that. If we lose, they go to six and the goal average is won. I also say that even if we win and those above do not win, we are there. Removing the four above and Alcorcón, almost all are rivals direct”.
Martí. “The coach is giving us peace of mind about the pressure we can come under. He tries to instill in us his football and his way of seeing things. He is refreshing our minds”.
Position. “He told us that we had the possibility of playing 4-3-3. He asks me to watch the football myself. When they play with a striker who doesn’t stick his ass between central defenders. A little bit about what to do in drawing “.
Dare. “The team has high self-esteem, we have to continue trusting in ourselves, but the reality is different, we still lack that bit of luck, of daring, of not falling apart in any goal or being dominated”.
