Villarreal B face an unstoppable Leganés this Saturday at 6:30pm CET

Villarreal B head coach, Miguel Álvarez, appeared at the press conference ahead of another final for the Mini Submarine. At La Cerámica, the Yellows welcome an impressive Leganés side who occupy top spot in the table and won’t make it easy for them this Saturday at 6:30pm CET at the Yellow Submarine’s home ground.

This is what the Villarreal B head coach had to say:

A visit from the leaders

“Another very difficult game in the second division. That’s what gives you the satisfaction of being in this league: sensational matches. We’re going into the game with the utmost enthusiasm, because we feel stronger at home. We’ll try to be at our best.”

It’s time to make amends

“The team has always shown good sensations. The team almost always gives it when it comes to competing, but in the competition there is something that determines where you are, such as being clinical at both ends of the pitch.”

Iker Álvarez

“He has shown his loyalty with this gesture of staying here. He knows the importance of the games and the importance of staying here. He has a huge commitment and he shows it. They have a great sense of belonging. For example, with Altimira it also happens. He’s been here only this season and spent half of that with thewith the first team for a season and half the time and it feels like he’s been with us for many years.”

How to approach the match

“We are approaching the game with the utmost enthusiasm. We know that it’s a very difficult game, but like all our opponents. I would ask the fans, as in these last two games, that with them the road will be hard, but shorter. They help a lot against opponents of this calibre”.

Keys to the match

“The team is always prepared. The matches are very well prepared, but a thousand things can happen afterwards. The keys are to be effective in the penalty area. Lately, we’ve been making mistakes that penalise you, so we have to be very effective, and even more so against a team with great offensive and defensive power.”
