Real Oviedo defender Alejandro Arribas today appeared in the Press Room at El Requexón.
What do you find the most worrying thing about the team's current situation?
- The table.  We are in the relegation zone and it's worrying.  We have another 'cup final' on Wednesday and we have to go for it.
In reality the team had been in good form...
- It's true that we were six games unbeaten, but the Numancia match was decided on small details.  Small details are deciding the matches.
What do you think it the key to survival?
- Our home matches, starting with Wednesday's.  It's crucial that we get a win.  Wednesday is a 'cup final' for us and we have to win it.
What explanation did Bárcenas give in the changing room in relation to his sending off?
- We've talked about it.  You can see in the video that the full back hit him from behind, before Yoel reacted and hit him in his back.  It was an involuntary reaction, Yoel is not an aggressive player.  We have to keep going, learn, and that's all.  At the end of the day it's a reflex action, which came about due to him being hit twice and it going unpunished.
