Pimienta: "When things weren't going well, that's when we believed the most in this style of play."
The yellow coach addressed the media remotely ahead of the match against Alavés, a team he highlighted as similar to us; coming from the second division, their aim is to avoid relegation. They're a tough opponent to beat
García Pimienta appeared in the pre-match press conference against Alavés, whom the yellow team will face tomorrow at Mendizorroza. The coach described their opponent as "a team similar to us; promoted last season, maintaining their core group and understanding their coach's strategy. They're a demanding team, adept at running, defending well, and counterattacking." "They're doing things very well, and they're a tough team to overcome. There are no easy matches in any league, especially not in La Liga," he added.
"We've never made any excuses. We'll arrive tomorrow in perfect condition to face the match with all assurances," he stated regarding the yellow team's expedition.
"All coaches have a philosophy that we try to convey to the players. They are very comfortable with this training and playing style. I'm very pleased with how things are going, and when they weren't going well, that's when we believed even more that this was the right approach," he concluded.
