Real Oviedo Head Coach Javi Rozada appeared in the Press Room ahead of the Huesca fixture, with practically the full squad available. It's something for the Coach to be happy about, since "for the first time in a long while we have 20 players available." He is approaching tomorrow's match with the Almería defeat still fresh in his mind. "The team played a lot of the game in the opposition's half. I thought the team did well and I'm happy with the identity. They did what I asked of them. Then 'that' (the penalty) happened and it conditioned the match."
Asked about Luismi and Lunin coming straight into the starting eleven, Rozada said that "they are important players who are going to give us a lot, and the sooner they adapt the better."
With respect to the return of players like Saúl Berjón, the Coach reasoned that "he is the most influential player in the team. The statistics say so. He did a lot to be back for tomorrow, and the team's level rises a lot when he's in it."
The team is back at the Tartiere tomorrow and the Coach thinks it's important to "be comfortable at home and step up. We have to get points to move away from the teams down at the bottom." Discussing Huesca, he described how "they've changed their way of playing a little since the first time we played them. It is going to be a match where, pressing and playing with confidence, we can hurt them, as long as we stick together."
