Setién underlined the difficulty of the game against RCD Mallorca (Saturday, 6:30pm CET)
Villarreal CF head coach, Quique Setién, appeared before the media this afternoon in the press room at the Training Ground. Setién reviewed the Submarine’s difficult game tomorrow against RCD Mallorca, who they will face this Saturday at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, starting at 6:30pm CET.
Here are his key points:
Situation of teams
“We’ve had a lot of absentees lately, but we’re lucky to be able to count on players from the B team. They are very well disposed and we know that they can help us if we need it. We are counting on them.”
RCD Mallorca
“It was one of the first opponents I faced when I arrived. Right now they’re on a good run and they’re a very complicated team who have mechanisms that are difficult to counter.”
A match like the first meeting between the two sides this season
“I remember the game we played here and they have changed little in terms of how they do things defensively. In the first leg we made it difficult for them, especially in the first half, and I hope that will be the case on Saturday.”
Covering Coquelin’s absence
“We have some players from the B team who are already systematically training with us. They don’t have the experience of a player like Coquelin, but they will help us to make up for his absence.”
