“We have to fight to win every game. We’ll see later what corresponds to us at the end of the season. We had a good situation three days ago, we lost two games at home and they penalized us in terms of the classification . Five games left, we’re in a match and still nothing is said. Let’s see at the end”.
Valverde did not leave the script established today in Lezama at the start of the match that will face Athletic and Villarreal tomorrow at the Estadio de la Cerámica. The rojiblanco coach is waiting for the evening training session to see if he has new players in the axis of defense, something unlikely, and prefers not to give any hints about the center back who will share the back axis to Paredes.
“Our defense is one of the strongest lines and saves us from many situations And of course having only the youngest central defender available out of the four is a problem. Let’s see if there is more. It is not the best to be like this, especially seeing what we have in front of us,” he argued.
Valverde, in any case, is clear that “this is football and throughout the 38 days you have to solve these situations with the players you have and put everythingbecause those in the group are trained to solve anything”.
Regarding what kind of game he expects tomorrow, the Athletic coach indicated that “the classic between two teams we know each other, two different game profiles. They have a lot of technical quality, a lot of talent and a lot of speed. Up front. We are a team with rhythm and maybe we lack the pause that they have at times. Two strong teams in the category. They are having a great season, they had a downturn and overcame they do it well”.
