The Real Oviedo Head Coach today analysed his second week in charge, which has been the first time he's had a full week to prepare for a single match. The Coach was grateful for this fact, saying "we have structured the work well. We have done several important things because the team needs it. Tomorrow we will do a warm-up session and plan for the match. I think we are going to go into it in the best possible condition."
Rozada then talked about the unbeaten Real Zaragoza, saying "we talk about the opponent on Fridays. We did an exercise yesterday with that somewhat in mind, but today we analyse the situations that we are going to find ourselves in. We talked about the opponent because they do some things very well, and we can't make any mistakes. We are going to try to find the best possible eleven so that we are in the best possible condition. They haven't gone behind in any matches yet. They push a lot, the two strikers are good at finding space and we have to bear it in mind. They are a team who use the counter attack well. They are in very good form, but this is the Segunda División and we are fully aware of what we need to do to win the match."
Asked more specifically about Marco Sangalli, Rozada commented that "we see him out wide more than through the middle", whereas Joselu "is more versatile." He made it clear that "we are looking for the best options to go into this match."
With respect to the team's mentality, the Real Oviedo Head Coach highlighted that "you work on it day to day with good habits. The team has to keep growing and so does the mind. And of course, we have to win this match. We have to build an identity which helps the players to free themselves. It's true that we are worried, but I see them as hungry, training with the best-possible attitude, and prepared and aware of the responsibility to win on Sunday."
Javi Rozada spoke of how he tries to "detach myself from everything and help the team to win matches" and of the great responsibility of being in charge of the first team. However, he also said that "it's all been very quick and I haven't had much time to think about anything but working day by day and helping them. They are players who have a lot of experience in professional football. They are making our work easier. It's all with the objective of getting through this."
What most concerns the Coach is the defensive work. However, he analysed the first of the goals conceded against Ponferradina as "a group error, with up to six players at fault. What we are trying to do is to help them, and work with teammates to resolve errors. They have to help each other a lot, and be willing to kill for their teammates. We can't make that type of error; we had been pragmatic up until then. Results are what help the most, obviously. The other day those are the first points you see with the score at 1-0. You can make a mistake, but what you can't do is let your head drop. What annoyed me the most was that when we conceded that goal we let our heads drop, which is what you can't let happen in this division. You can't let that happen because of one goal from an error. I am sure that if that match had come a few games later, we wouldn't have lost it. And we should have won. What we have to do is prepare a group where if one person drops off, the others help him out. And to push up, because we have to be prepared for everything."
