The storm caused by “Ciarán” has made Sporting return to “road and blanket”. The red and whites traveled to Valencia this Friday morning, finally training in Paterna, and then moving to Castellón, where they have the concentration hotel. Villarreal B awaits at the La Cerámica stadium on Saturday (4:15 p.m.). Miguel Ángel Ramírez explains Pascanu’s loss, his plans to replace Hassan (absent due to the fear clause) and the way to manage so many hours on the road in addition to addressing other issues such as a possible mental block of Djuka, who is being followed resisting the goal.
Eight hours by bus through “Ciarán”. “The situation has arisen like this. We had to adapt and come up with the solution that could least condition us. There is time for the players to rest. It conditions, but we are going to try to rest as much as possible to arrive in the best conditions.”
Invest travel time. “I try to leave them (the players) as calm as possible. At some point we try to show some video on an individual level. The coaching staff tries to work and advance things, but with the players we try to disturb as little as possible knowing that the situation is already quite heavy. trip. We got something out of them, but not much.”
Paskanu, come on. “It is a flu process that is happening. We understood that he could still be there on Saturday, but traveling is no longer possible. We preferred that he stay recovering, also for the health of the rest of the group.”
New right-handed band. “It depends that they (Pascanu and Hassan) are not there, but what we are showing is that we have a very large squad. That the people who come in do just as well. It was seen in the Cup. It will condition some behavior of the team, but in general it is a long squad and everyone is ready to come in.”
Spare parts. “When you line up or prepare a game plan, you think about the characteristics of players who are close. I think about the best profile that one can have with another. It’s something normal that happens every week. We do it in every game.”
Fear clause. “I am not a sports director. I do not get involved in those matters. Whenever there is a club agreement there is one that gives in. Within that agreement the rules of the game were clear. Hassan was going to come here with conditions proposed by Villarreal and the “Sporting accepted. There is no more.”
The rival. “It is complicated (at home). They are a brave team, having a leading role and subduing the rival. They like to have the ball, dominate and be in the opposite field. We know that this also entails some risks and that we can hurt them. Within the limits that we have to prepare for the game, we try with videos and the little we can do on the field to show the players where we have to go both in defense and attack.”
Three defeats in a row for the rival. “I always see them with the same spirit and desire to impose themselves. Regardless of where they play and the circumstances. I see a pattern that repeats itself and I don’t think there is more than that.”
Calendar against those below. “There are plenty of examples both with us and with the teams that are or have been in the top zone in the Second Division. Anyone can come to you, whether in their field, or in yours, and as long as you don’t have a minimum of tension and are well concentrated in each action, anyone beats you. It’s not a cliché, it’s a reality. It happens week after week. If we don’t take it with the importance it deserves, we won’t be able to compete.”
Motivation for the play-off. “There is no slogan in the locker room regarding the classification, because I think that now it does not help us at all. It does not divert our attention from the work, from winning the game. The classification is at the end of the season, now it is time to prepare the teams well. games and try to win.
Djuka, mental block. “I don’t think (that he has it). I see him serene, committed, connected in training and games. Aware that a striker will always live on streaks. And when the streaks are not as he would like, everything else will always be present. Work, predisposition, help, game plan. The rest will come as a consequence.”
Injuries, fewer. “They will always exist in football. It doesn’t matter if you do everything well. In a sport with so much physical, mental and emotional demand, you have to live with the possibility of injury. Obviously you can take care of a series of aspects. We have improved in prevention , in the preventive work of each player with an individualized program, with a lot of attention from the technical and medical staff for each one according to their needs and injury history. With the nutritional issue we have been taking giant steps for some time and with the commitment of the squad to be able to take care of himself. It is a coordinated effort between the technical and medical staff to help the player be in optimal shape.”
Front in winter. “We are still at the beginning of November. When the market opens we will surely have discussed the level of the players, but maybe at that time another need appears due to performance or injury, or whatever. Being in November thinking about what “It has to come in January is unreal and it’s not happening with us. Surely the club is working, because it has to do it, but we are not stopping at that.”
A third of the season. “We have been growing as the days go by. We are becoming a team that deserves better results than the ones we were having. There is a commitment on everyone’s part, there is also a luck factor in sport in which you can do everything well and sometimes the results do not appear. Every day we are taking steps to become the team we want to be: the one that achieves extraordinary results and is capable of competing, week after week, in the best possible way. There has been an evolution, “We are satisfied, but we want more. This team has a lot of room for improvement.”
