I had never been injured, my first injury was when I arrived here, a year and a half with ups and downs, That it seemed that it was starting, that it was not, the operation, that it seemed that it was not the solution … It was an injury that has had me a little psychologically stunned, with many ups and downs.

The figure of Pellegrini

Ambition to fight for fifth place
“We are in the positions we want and from there, we will surely have to compete with Real and Villarreal. The objective is to add three points every week so that after these 10 games we will be as high as possible.”
The Real Sociedad, rival for Europe
“Yes, I wish him the best of luck in that great game they have, playing in a final is something very nice, and hopefully the fatigue will make the League cost them a little more.”
Victory against Levante

We knew that the game against Levante was very important for us, to go to the break in the area we want. And There is no better way than to leave these days with a victory. Now we have two weeks to work and prepare for the Elche game, which is another important game in a difficult field. “
