Quique Sanchez Florescoach of Getafeassured this Friday in a press conference that one of the keys to his team’s success last season was “the atmosphere of consensus” he had with his fans, which helped push the Azulón team to safety.
In the relegation places, and after drawing against Atlético de Madrid at the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium, Getafe needed a victory to gain momentum in the second game of the second round. His coach remembered the perfect communion that existed in the Coliseum stands last season and asked his fans for help.
“Last year (the fans) were key and I’ve said this all season. It’s key to leave with an atmosphere of consensus, of unconditional effort over not always winning… We’re going to need them. We do everything for them , but we have to get used to the idea that the season is happening and every match is very important. Adding points and working on points will be fundamental”, he said.
The atmosphere experienced by Getafe this week was greatly influenced by the earthquake that affected Turkey and Syria. Mainly because of the origin of one of its players, the Ottoman Enes Ünalwho felt the disaster more than others.
“I saw him sad in the previous training sessions. I didn’t want to get close to him. I fully respect the mourning that everyone can carry inside and I chose not to ask anymore. He is a man. I saw that he was affected. He is super competitive and As it is on Sunday, he will play as always and if it is possible, which he is, he will do it for his country,” he said.
“We are very shocked by everything that has happened. The images of Turkey, those ruins, the countries that are helping, the victims that have been rescued… It is very intense, very exciting and they are the things that try the unity of all the world and all nations. World education will move from competition to unity. Fortunately, when terrible things happen, there are many good people who support us unconditionally to progress. People are greatly affected. We are all affected by a disaster of this magnitude. All unconditional support to all people”, he said.
He also spoke about the state of his team after opening the second round with a draw and said that now there needs to be a change of mentality supported by the fact that there are now players like Mauro Arambarri available who can be influential.
“Assuming what the situation is, which is complicated. Same points and same games as last season. Exactly the same. We entered a process of a lot of fighting again, a lot of effort and a lot of sacrifice. Now to another derby, another plus. We were warned by everyone that this is a very important game”, he pointed out.
Rayo qualifies as a carefree and intelligent team
Quique did not hesitate to praise Rayo Vallecano, a team in which he said that “fundamentally they play with intelligence” because they play and get along when they always have to go “quickly to the opposite goal” without risking where they don’t exist. in.
“They get a few errors when the ball is released. As soon as the opponent gets a good grip on it, they try to take it across the field and from there gather their players around the ball. A team that doesn’t care, that have a very high spirit and will go to Being a very important game in terms of efforts, divide balls, tackles…We hope to have a good day in that. We hope to have the support of the people, because when we go abroad they prepare a hostile environment for us and I hope we know how to prepare it in education and I respect”.
“Without comparison, without comparison with Getafe, just speaking about Rayo Vallecano, they have an atmosphere of continuity, which is important. It is a team that holds the same ideas, concepts and almost the same players every year. No it changes minds. They play together, happy team, they have no pressure on themselves. Because they came out to play in the championship, they won a lot in the first round. They show great humility, saying that their goal is permanent. They free the themselves and they play more freely,” he added.
Asked by the Rayo Vallecano coach Andoni Iraola, he admitted that he “likes it a lot” because he is a “very normal and super educated” person who respects the profession: “He does something that is most difficult. He goes from simple to easy or from easy to simple, he doesn’t complicate things and he handles the four tools and he handles them wonderfully. That’s a virtue in football”.
Regarding whether he could give any details of his lineup, he made it clear that he did not want to give any kind of advantage to his rivals with this kind of information and spoke about a journalist who always hits his eleven- one.
“There is always a medium that hits. That is the mystery that I would like to know. The eleven always hit no matter how many changes we make. I want to talk to that boy to see what is going on there. Even when a day. , a more difficult day to hit , with the entry of Gastón, of Mauro who hasn’t played for four months, of Portu on the right wing because Damián can’t do it because he’s a little sick… I don’t like that you got it right. I love you very much, I like your work, but I don’t like that you hit it.”
Regarding the importance to the team of Mauro Arambarri, who returned against Atlético de Madrid after overcoming an injury that kept him off the pitch for three months, he emphasized that the Uruguayan is “the main franchise player” for Getafe .
“He gives us character, he’s infectious. When he’s on the pitch, he makes those around him feel stronger and more energetic. The other day when he came out, we realized how difficult it was to get him out. and you have to give him space because he’s a boy who’s been out for a long time”
Finally, he had words for Marcos Alonso, who passed away this Thursday: “I want to send a big hug to the whole Marcos Alonso family. A young man that we loved very much, that we treated him on the pitch, that as a person was a guy Exceptional. I asked his son Marcos before the game (at Camp Nou a few weeks ago) and I felt that things were not right. We were also surprised and affected. We sent a kiss in The family of Marcos Alonso”.
