Luis Carrión: "We must not see ourselves as small against anyone"
UD Las Palmas coach Luis Carrión emphasized, "With all due respect to every team, we're all in the same league. I want my players to feel like they can beat any opponent."
Luis Carrión pointed out that Real Madrid "has a good collective game and excels in many areas. In the end, they have great players led by a good coach, but we’ll try to find their weak points."
Here are his words:
"Regarding self-criticism, it’s clear that the first step to improving is to look at what we’ve done wrong, and that’s what we’ve done. We’re working to ensure it doesn’t happen again."
"We’re preparing for the match knowing Real Madrid’s potential. Like every team in the world, they have their strengths and weaknesses, and we’ll try to exploit them to win."
"Nowadays, from what I’ve seen so far, most teams tend to run more because players are physically stronger. We try to be aggressive, and we need to be ready for when we lose the ball."
"The first goal against Leganés wasn’t due to a bad transition, but to poor pressing. We need to work on all these situations to prevent them from happening again."
"We’ll see how the last two days of the transfer window go. We’ve had to analyze the Leganés game and think about Real Madrid. I have full confidence in the decisions made by the sports management. I’m sure that by Friday, when the window closes, we’ll have a strong squad."
"We have to prepare for matches based on our opponents, knowing how to position ourselves on the field to cause them the most damage. We have to anticipate what will happen, and Real Madrid is no exception. We have one more training session, and I hope everything goes well tomorrow."
"I like my players to feel capable of anything, not just in football. We are ready to compete against any team in the world. Of course, they have more individual talent, but we have to make sure the game goes the way we want it to. We have all the respect in the world, but we must not fear anyone."
"Mika is an incredibly important player, and I think he can improve this season so that any offers he might receive are even better. In my opinion, he shouldn’t leave."
