Press conference quotes
“The team is doing well. It will be two good teams, we know each other well. We saw the types of movement they did here and the problems they caused us. We know each other well, and not just the teams, but the coaches as well. We have to be at our best to get a good result. If we can win, even better, but we know that it’s a play-off with two legs, and we know that Eibar are very strong at Ipurua.”
“I can’t tell you about how people felt in the last two seasons because I wasn’t here. What I can talk about is the current situation, and I like what I see. We know that we cannot wait until the second game, but at the same time, it gives us strength and energy knowing that the second leg is at Ipurua, and we know that Eibar at home are a very strong team.”
“We are going to try to give a good response in these games. They are a very good team. They move a lot, and we know that their movement will demand answers from us. We go into it with the idea of bringing home a good result to Ipurua.”
