Pamplona, Feb 11 (EFE).- Osasuna’s coach, Jagoba Arrasate, has predicted a clash of “alternatives and openness” against Valladolid in which the reds will seek to win again away from El Sadar three months later.
“You have to give it value. We have 29 points and tomorrow we have another opportunity against a team that is very confident after two victories of great merit”, the team from Valladolid said this Saturday at a press conference.
The rojillo coach has not hesitated to praise the group led by Pacheta and in this regard has commented that “they have taken a step. It continues to be a cheerful team, which tries to dominate and which is more of a proposal than a response. He has more balance than in the first lap. I see him as more mature.”
Arrasate has also stated that “being a nonconformist is not bad. We all want more. Now, from there to not giving value to drawing away from home… the other day, against a team (Espanyol) with great players and a much bigger budget than ours, we don’t hide behind it, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t know what it’s like. hard to win.”
“Sometimes it gives us as far as it gives us, but we do have room for improvement and we have to polish that a bit and know that if we have put ourselves ahead we also have to try to win that game or not get tied”, he analyzed about the last errors that have led them to stop adding three by three.
He has also expressed his satisfaction with the sporting performance of his squad so far, although without lowering his guard: “We are making our way, we are doing well, but we must not fall asleep.”
Finally, in relation to Iker Muñoz’s call for tomorrow, he stressed that if he is in it “it is because he can play. We do not take people to refill. He has trained with us for two days and we see him capable”, and he has also highlighted his intelligence and his “good ball output”.
