This morning, the coach of Real Oviedo, Guillermo Almada, appeared at a press conference to address the media present at the sports city before traveling to Madrid to face Rayo Vallecano.
After the first question, the blue coach was emphatic, "to confirm all the good things we are doing, it is a final, the most important match of the year, and we must approach it that way."
Regarding the last match against Atleti, he stated, "it is tough to do so many good things and not come away with the win, but if we continue like this, the logic is that positive results should come."
This Wednesday, the team faces Rayo, a match surrounded by controversy due to the disputed suspension. "We are only thinking about the match, about ourselves, and about trying to win. Everything that surrounded the match does not depend on us, although it does give you a sense of rebellion. One will not play worse or better because of the circumstances surrounding the match."
The controversy surrounding the state of the pitch was also a topic of questioning. "We have to impose our game regardless of the condition of the field because it will be the same for both teams, and we must try to get the three points."
When pressed further about the controversy surrounding this Wednesday's match, the Uruguayan finally declared: "I have never experienced anything like this, having a match suspended two hours before, having the field changed during the match week... these are not measures of an organized league, but the decisions do not depend on us. I think we should be awarded the three points, but we must focus on the opponent, maintain the good things we are doing, and bring back the three points."
