“We are going to play trying to prevail over the rival regardless of the result that occurs. The objective is to spend more time in possession than in recovery, playing in the opponent’s field because the teams that do this normally have control of the procedure, and those that do this increase their dangerous situations and suffer less. I always aspire that the qualities of the players that I have to coach are those that determine their prominence or their transfer, and in all cases I always choose prominence,” said the coach at a press conference.

We have to be focused from the beginning, attentive to everything so that we can have a great game. The players are leaving everything on the field trying to improve.
