The Girona coach, Quique Álvarez, appeared at a press conference ahead of the match the team will play tomorrow against Celta Fortuna at Montilivi. The coach emphasized the importance of maintaining good results at home, highlighted the internal competitiveness of the squad, and analyzed the main strengths of the opponent.
One of the aspects the coach focused on was the need to maintain concentration and high standards to secure another victory in front of the fans. “Mentally, it is difficult to win two consecutive matches at home. We have worked on this. We cannot fall into that situation. We have a great opportunity to win two matches at home, and we must take advantage of it,” Álvarez stated, aware of the importance of maintaining a good dynamic at Montilivi.
The coach also highlighted the role of competition among players in raising the collective level. “Internal competitiveness improves the team. One hundred percent,” he affirmed emphatically, emphasizing the importance of all players maintaining a high level of commitment to earn a spot in the starting eleven.
Regarding the opponent, Álvarez warned of the challenges posed by the Galician team, a side with a clear playing style and quality players. “Celta Fortuna has very clear mechanisms, with physical and technical quality,” the coach explained, expecting a demanding match against an opponent with the resources to create problems.
Finally, the coach was self-critical about some aspects of the team's play, particularly regarding the ability to create opportunities in central areas. “Surely, in recent matches, we have lacked play through the middle. But we have players to do it. They need to show their best version. In every match, we need to choose the players who can give us the most in this regard,” Álvarez pointed out, expressing confidence in the squad's ability to improve in this area and find the best solutions in each game.
