Eduardo Coudet spoke before this important match: "Whenever there is a change of coach, teams play differently. This is another case. We have to abstract ourselves from their difficult situation and try to play our game. It's going to be a tough game and if it goes long it could end up being similar to what happened in Granada. It is more than obvious that they only need to win".

"The numbers always come out in the end. It seems to me that the team has an identity, an idea. It was a year to ratify many things and in the soccer part we have done it. I'm not saying it myself, but the rival coaches, that our situation in the table is not real."

"We are reduced and as soon as we suffer difficulties we have to adapt. You remarked that it is the shortest squad in Europe and it is the first winter that the team is not reinforced. It was more evident that we were going to have difficulties. The objective was salvation without suffering and we have done it in a different way compared to the teams that are trying to save the category. It has not been easy to get here the way we have. I don't see any ghosts".
