Imanol Idiakez: “I am convinced that what happened the other day was an accident”

Deportivo coach Imanol Idiakez trusts that the debacle in Irún (3-0) was an accident and that his team will reverse the situation ahead of this Saturday’s match (7:00 p.m., TVG 2) against SD Logroñés.

These were his statements in the Abegondo press room after the last training session:

Reviews

I understand everything, but we are going to work so that people leave Riazor happy tomorrow. Difficulties test everyone and let’s see how we are able to function

Soriano Ratification

I am excited to win tomorrow and bring joy to the fans. When I get discouraged I look at last year’s Amorebieta classification and I already see that there is a lot left.

I trust the club and I am sure that if we insist everything will happen

The lesions

With Yeremay and Barbero you can’t do much. They are things of the game… All clubs give a lot of thought to the muscular ones. Even those with more means. It is true that the fields are soft and that is a burden… We are thinking about it

Jeremay

He’s going at the pace his leg lets him. This week he has better feelings and I hope those discomforts that do not allow him to play his football disappear

The goal

Surely we are not moving well within the area nor are we as accurate as we should be. But we are working well and I am convinced that we have a goal. There is one in the squad, he has shown it all his life, and for whatever reason we are not seeing it this year

Soccer level in the first part of Irún

We had almost 70% possession and a lot of chances in the first half against Real Unión. When teams fall back on you it is difficult, we saw it the other day with Barcelona against Shakthar.

I am convinced that what happened the other day was an accident.

Drastic changes or not

If we analyze the short term, we came from beating Sabadell, from playing a good game with Nástic, from the Cup tie… If we are fair, the team gave more positive signs. In my position I have to be balanced and I don’t think it’s time for revolutions. The shots go for Nástic

Chat with Lucas Pérez at the end of training

I talk a lot with the players and Lucas is one of our captains. Today that circumstance occurred that you saw me but it is something common. We have to exchange thoughts. The first ones who were annoyed were the players. Feeling that you have stopped, that you have blocked yourself, is frustrating.

System change

Three centre-backs? Could be. I have to make decisions based on performance so that the team can continue to grow

The talk

We have a healthy relationship. Self-criticism is necessary and is part of learning. It’s about learning from what happened. We had the sensation of lowering our arms and the experience of the other day will help us to prevent that from happening.

The infirmary

Davo and Salva are fine. Small annoyances. Davo in the back and Salva in the hamstrings.

The week went from less to more. All that anger we had on Sunday we must focus on tomorrow. Winning at Riazor would make us forget the setback

Once the last training session of the week has concluded, not before 12:15 p.m., Imanol Idiakez, Deportivo coach, will analyze all his feelings before this Saturday’s game (7:00 p.m., TVG 2) in Riazor against SD Logroñés. The A Coruña team has experienced a very hard week after the bad image shown in Irún against Real Unión (3-0).
