Real Oviedo forward Miguel Linares came to the press room at El Requexón after another day of work.
Now that three weeks of the preseason have gone by and the beginning of the competition waits imminently ahead, the Aragonese man stated that "each day we get closer to the first game. It's evident that the intensity and the focus have increased. We are reaching a new level".
Concerning the group and his teammates' quick adjustments, Miguel Linares concedes that "this is a good group, with good players. We have to continue getting to know one another, clarifying the concepts and solidifying ourselves".
Along with Diegui, the striker is one of the two players that remains from the team that ascended to LaLiga. When asked about this, Miguel Linares indicated that "the truth is, it surprises me. Being here is truly a joy and I will stay here as long as they want me".
Concerning the lack of goals that the team has scored in the preparatory matches, Linares believes that "If you don't have opportunities, a lack of goals is complicated. We need to assemble a solid defense, that is important. The chances will come. I'm not worried because we have great players up front". Additionally, the Real Oviedo forward understands that "first we are going to be solid. The coach has it down clearly. We are going to be a team that is difficult to score on¨.
In regards to what he hopes to contribute to the team in the coming season, Miguel Linares stated that "I want to help, giving it all, pushing myself, and pushing the rest of my teammates".
Finally, and concerning the way in which Juan Antonio Anquela understands football and the training sessions, Miguel said that "the coach does things his own way, it gives him his own identity".
