The Madrilenian assures that he has Lucas Pérez

Javi Calleja today offered his first press conference as Deportivo Alavés coach prior to a League match. Calleja has explained that he is delighted with the team, and that he sees all the players very involved and eager. In addition, he has assured that he has Lucas Pérez, since is “psyched”, and has insisted that we have to improve the game with the ball, so as not to depend so much on the rival.

Template status.

“They are all well physically except Pellistri and Ely. I will be able to count on the rest. To my pleasant surprise I have found a very positive atmosphere. When a new coach comes there is a reaction, and I have seen it. I have seen a team that wants, players who are involved in the concepts worked, and they are very involved. That commitment is essential to get it out. “

Mental dynamics

“A change of mentality is fundamental, it comes from a negative dynamic and you have to be positive and believe that we are going to achieve the goal. This is done by talking to them, reinforcing them … and I am very happy, because if before I was convinced that we were going to achieve itNow that I have worked with them I am much more so “.

System

“I’m not going to ask you for anything other than to play soccer, and they know how to play, and very good. I will adapt to them and their characteristics, we will try to get the most out of it. The four days that we have been working have been very productive, and the team believes. The training sessions have gone well and the only thing I ask of you is that the confidence that you have shown in training be shown in the games.. They have to play loose, not worry about failure, but react quickly to recover. We all have errors, what cannot be kept is stopped “.

Reaction

“When we came we were aware of it, and we have assumed that there is little time to instill all the things that we would like. We have to get to the point and seek immediate performance, but I think this enriches us all, come to Alavés and try to add . Although there are few things, we will try to help the club grow With our way of looking at football, it will be very good for us once the Alavés stage is over, which I hope will be very long. “

Athletic

“I’m trying to make it clear to the team that the most important thing is us, because the only thing we can control is our work. Whatever Athletic does We will try to study it, find solutions to its variants… but in the end Alavés is the team that matters. ”

“Athletic is a great team, in which it is no coincidence that they are going to play two Copa del Rey finals. They have a large squad, in which those who they will replace the casualties they will be top performance players. We don’t really know what changes Marcelino will introduce, so our mind is on our work. “

Equipment to be seen

“A winning team, that goes for the three points, that does not speculate. I want a team that transmits and that has soul, that has resources, that gives more initiative to the ball, that we are not a predictable team. The more wealth there is on a tacit level, the more chances of winning we will have. “

“Tomorrow we are not going to go crazy, and we are not going to constantly go to high pressure. The zone defense is going to be important, and we are going to give a lot of importance to the ball to dominate a little more and not depend so much on the rival. The rival is not going to give us anything, and if we want something we will have to win it ourselves. “

Lucas Perez

“It will be seen if he plays or not, but I am counting on him. I see him very involved, he’s psyched, he wants to get this out like the most. Based on this, I will make a decision that the first to know will be the players. “

Ball

“I think they are capable of mastering the game through the ball. The main thing is to believe in the combinatorial game, not hide, and give them resources for it “
