Elche coach talks about Real Madrid: Everything is possible in a single game, we must try our best to win

November 22 Elche coach Sarabia said at the pre-match press conference that although the opponent Real Madrid in this round is strong, the team firmly believes that it has the possibility to win.

Talking about the possibility of beating Real Madrid

Of course it is possible to win. In La Liga, Real Madrid will eventually be ranked higher, and if there are multiple contests, they will definitely win more times. But on a single game basis, with our weapons, determination and the support of our home fans, anything is possible. The energy conveyed by the team and the confidence given to us by the outside world is that we will deal with it head-on and do our best to create difficulties for our opponents. We need a near-perfect performance, but we also believe in ourselves. The team is currently in a good stage individually and as a whole. This will be an important and wonderful day, and we will try to make history.

About the documentary released by Elche Club

The whole team enjoyed and moved when watching it. The documentary not only reviewed the history of the club, but also focused on the last season. It is a precious record for any football lover, and it has special meaning for the locals and fans of Elche. The film truly shows the process and ups and downs of a season. The outside world always wants to understand the internal operations of the club, and the team hopes to establish a connection with fans through natural narrative.

In terms of injuries,

Qiao Sang felt discomfort in his left leg and was suspected of having a muscle injury. He was unable to participate in training this week. John is in a protective state and is confirmed to be fine after inspection. Pedro is also fine. The team is currently in good condition and the players are eager to contribute to the team.

Talking about Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois' previous praise for him

We have a good relationship and have spent some time together. I admire his professional performance. As a goalkeeper, he is very smart and thinks two or three steps ahead of most people. It is always a pleasure to be recognized by such an outstanding peer and I have the utmost respect for him.

Whether the tactics against Real Madrid will continue the same idea as against Barcelona

Real Madrid and Barcelona have different styles. The team will adopt corresponding countermeasures, but the concept of having the courage to attack and actively counterattack will not change. The key is to implement the best plan according to the characteristics of the opponent. It is impossible to compare whether it is more advantageous to play against Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​but every game is a learning opportunity, and victory or defeat depends on the correctness of on-the-spot decisions, and it is recognized that Real Madrid is unique in terms of charm.

How to limit Real Madrid's offense

We must focus on controlling the opponent before and after receiving the ball. Sometimes we adopt one-on-one marking, sometimes we organize assist defense, and we also try to guide the game to an area that is beneficial to our side. I hope that Real Madrid will not be in the best condition. No matter what strategy they adopt, they must have firm belief and the whole team must understand the needs of the game and execute them together.

About Rodri Mendoza's status and transfer rumors

The player sent a message before the game against Romania saying that he was in excellent physical condition and was currently enjoying the game. This is of great value to both the player and the club. I am happy that he can grow up with outstanding players in the national team, which will also help enrich his game experience. Mendoza has a good environment around him, so if a club wants to bring him in, be prepared to pay a high transfer fee.
