“We will not come out of the Metropolitan with a white flag”

The center of Serbia Almeria Srdjan Babicauthor of the second important victory last Sunday against the Valencia (2-1) who removed his team from the relegation zone, said that it happened because “everyone is very plugged in”, a motivation that they will keep until the end because for the Andalusian team “every game They decisive.”

“We know that We will not give up until the last day and we have to push it forward. We have no choice but to play like this until the last day”, stressed the Serbian international, that “you never know” what figure is needed to achieve survival or if “the score of 35, 38, 40 or 42 points” is enough that..

Babic insisted that the squad is “very plugged in and focused” for the crucial final stretch of the season, because “every point can be decisive, and about his performance as a scorer, who has already scored three goals and scored in the last two games by finishing two corners, he said that “I hope it continues because every goal is important.”

For the Balkans, Almería -sixteenth with 30 points, 3 from the relegation zone- must “continue as a team, like in the last two games”, which he attributes to everyone’s work, because “during the break for the national teams” they rehearsed “a lot of set pieces” and with his goals “knows where he’s going to put the ball” Argentine Lucas Robertone.

He insists that the approach is “very important” because “30 percent of goals in modern football come from set pieces”where they have been studying it for weeks and “the coach (Joan Francesc Ferrer ‘Rubi’) and his coaching staff” insist on these “details”, where they already know that they have “great weapons for open the game”.

This is what Babic did in the 2-2 draw two days ago at Celta, while what he scored against Valencia was the provisional 2-0 and gave his team peace of mind, a prize, the goal, to prefer he can get better as a local than outside. “It’s an honor to score in Almería because this city lives for football and it shows” when that happens “because of how people celebrate it,” he added.

The Serbian, with three is equal to his highest number of goals in a season, pointed out, however, that he is very clear that his main job is not to score goals, but to prevent them, as he did on Sunday by stopping the Valencia lead the scoreboard in a Dutchman action Justin Kluivert.

“Honestly, I know he will be hurt, because From players like Kluivert and people you always expect something that won’t be simple, a cut and shoot it. So, I expect that he is going to pierce (the ball) and try to do something. I didn’t want to stop then, and that was very good,” he explained.

After reviewing the importance of a chain of three games without defeat and appealing not to be obsessed with the classification in order not to “lose confidence”, Babic hopes to get a positive result on Sunday in the field of Atletico MadridWell, against Barcelona at home they already showed that they can beat anyone.

“At Metropolitan we will go out to try to win points that we still have to see how it will end, but we will certainly not down our arms or come out with a white flag”, he warned.
