Joseba Etxeberria: “There's only one thing in our hands, and that's the game at Ipurua, and we have to win it”
The Eibar coach has said that: “We're on matchday 42 and we're in with a chance of automatic promotion, and that's motivation enough”
Joseba Etxeberria knows that “there's only one thing in our hands, which is the game at Ipurua, and we have to win it” in order to secure our sixth consecutive home win “and that will allow us to dream”.
Speaking at the press conference ahead of Sunday's clash against Real Oviedo, the Eibar coach stressed that “we're in the final round of fixtures and anything can happen, especially in this division”. “We're going to go for the game from the very first play. The only thing we need is to win. Ipurua has to be a pressure cooker, we have to put a lot of pressure on ourselves from the very first play and get the fans behind us to push us on”.
Press conference quotes
“We are excited because it is the last week. We know that after the loss the other day, our chances of winning automatic promotion have been reduced, but we are in the final week and anything can happen, especially in this division. We know that we have to have a great game to beat an Oviedo side that is in a good moment.”
“We want to continue to win at Ipurua, and this will allow us to dream. We know that it is difficult, but we have to concentrate on this game, on winning, and a win, at the least, will get us home games in the second play-off games, which could be very important.”
“We are all excited. After the defeat the other day, we know that the possibility is small, but the possibility is there, and in the Segunda Division…we want these kinds of things to happen. We are going to be ready for the last game in the league because that is a special moment. We don’t need to contemplate anything else, just to win. The team is doing well, it has shown that nobody gives up and that we can get up after taking blows.”
