This morning, Real Oviedo's coach, Guillermo Almada, held a press conference before traveling to Ciudad de Valencia to face Levante in a crucial match. "This match and the ones remaining are finals. We have to approach it the same way as the previous ones and try to play better than the opponent to win the game. It’s a final for both teams."
Regarding the team's chances of staying up until the end of the season and the pressure that entails, the Uruguayan coach stated: "I prefer to take it game by game and focus on what’s ahead. We must win, as that’s the only thing that will satisfy us." "We have to adapt to the circumstances we are facing. Beyond the pressure that exists, this is the sport we love and that brings us joy. In football, winning is the only thing that instills confidence in people. We must continue along the path we’ve set in recent matches, except for the day against Rayo."
The team from the capital of the Principality faces Levante, and Almada’s mindset is "only about winning; I’m an optimist by nature. Any result tomorrow doesn’t guarantee anything, and there’s still a lot of the season left." A Levante side that "has very good players. They are confident, and we will have to find the defensive gaps in a squad with excellent players and a very capable coach."
Finally, the blue coach spoke about the difficulty both teams have in closing out matches. "They face the same issue as us; they struggle to secure games without their opponents dominating. We must assert our superiority in the game to allow us to take the match."
