Here is what he had to say: The team\u2019s status \u201cThe team is doing well. Pablo has some discomfort, he hasn\u2019t recovered. We\u2019ve already released Tasende\u2019s medical report and we\u2019ll see in the coming weeks. With Alti and Ilias we will adapt. Collado and Carlos Romero are working with the group.\u201d Tasende \u201cIn a B team everyone is important. He is a different player to Carlos Romero and because of his characteristics he would be more needed for Cartagena than for Elche because of the distribution on the pitch.\u201d Elche \u201cThey have a brutal squad. Both in Ferrol and in Eibar they played great games. 80-90% of the teams look like first division teams. All the matches are very strong and we, always respecting our opponents and analysing their strengths and weaknesses, focus on ourselves. We are a reserve team and we focus on our own.\u201d Ontiveros \u201cIt has been hard for us, but we have no complaints. I\u2019m trying to help him along the way. He\u2019s in great condition, he\u2019s much better and the starting point this year is the same as at the end of last year. He\u2019s intense and he\u2019s doing well. If he\u2019s well, he\u2019s a differential. As a person he\u2019s great, he doesn\u2019t complain at all. We love him a lot. We\u2019re going to take care of him and we\u2019re going to be demanding.\u201d A tough league \u201cLast year there were grounds like Granada or Sporting, and it was a novelty to go from the Mini to those grounds for boys who had no experience in the second division, it was a brutal shock. This year some of them already have experience and others, like Requena, have already played on amazing pitches in pre-season with Quique. It\u2019s invaluable.\u201d Quick starts for opposition \u201cWe are working on it. The beginnings of matches are very important. In Zaragoza it was difficult for us, but it\u2019s part of the learning process. We approached it very well in terms of the atmosphere. Then the lads approached it very well and had chances. We are working so that these things don\u2019t happen and the team is becoming more and more solid. Defensively we are working hard on it. Away from home there are going to be a lot of attacks from our opponents and we have to be aware of that.\u201d Keys to the match \u201cWith personality we are going to create problems for them. We have focused a lot on ourselves. The other day offensively we were very good. We are capable of possession, but also of transitions and verticality. We also have to take care of those mistakes and be solid without the ball.\u201d","url":"","background_image":"","images":[],"videos":[{"type":"video","kind":"iframe","url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A52qFG9aVvE?feature=oembed","poster":""}],"links":[]}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mini Submarine head coach has been talking about the match against Elche this Saturday at 9:30pm CEST","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":279067,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13788],"tags":[9781,13478,14771,13791,13480,13483,13463,13504,9199,13482,13487],"acf":null,"lang":"en","formatted_date":"August 25, 2023","modified_date":"August 25, 2023","permalink":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/en\/miguel-alvarez-were-a-b-team-and-were-focusing-on-us\/","reading_time":3,"featured_media_data":{"id":279067,"title":"miguel","caption":"","alt_text":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-scaled.webp","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-1920x1080.webp","width":1920,"height":1080},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-1920x1080.webp","width":1920,"height":1080},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-768x432.webp","width":768,"height":432},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-1920x1080.webp","width":788,"height":443},"1536x1536":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-1536x864.webp","width":1536,"height":864},"2048x2048":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-2048x1152.webp","width":2048,"height":1152},"tp-image-grid":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-700x700.webp","width":700,"height":700},"size-bunyad-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-1920x1080.webp","width":1920,"height":1080},"sportspress-crop-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-300x300.webp","width":300,"height":300},"sportspress-fit-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-300x169.webp","width":300,"height":169},"sportspress-fit-icon":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-128x72.webp","width":128,"height":72},"sportspress-fit-mini":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-32x18.webp","width":32,"height":18},"bunyad-small":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-150x84.webp","width":150,"height":84},"bunyad-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-450x253.webp","width":450,"height":253},"bunyad-full":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-1200x675.webp","width":1200,"height":675},"bunyad-viewport":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-2048x1152.webp","width":2048,"height":1152},"bunyad-768":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-768x432.webp","width":768,"height":432},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/miguel-2-scaled.webp","width":2560,"height":1439}}},"author_data":{"id":"1","name":"root_envidea","first_name":"Villarreal CF","last_name":"","description":"","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/48f95f42a3ccc324f3a3458e4b9e6fb070b083e99d388e170c1afb061fa99b63?s=96&d=mm&r=g","acf":null},"taxonomies_data":{"category":[{"id":13788,"name":"Youth Football","slug":"youth-football","acf":null}],"post_tag":[{"id":9781,"name":"Elche CF","slug":"elche-cf-en","acf":null},{"id":13478,"name":"Football","slug":"football-eng","acf":null},{"id":14771,"name":"LALIGA HYPERMOTION","slug":"laliga-hypermotion-en","acf":null},{"id":13791,"name":"Rueda de prensa","slug":"rueda-de-prensa-2-en","acf":null},{"id":13480,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-4","acf":null},{"id":13483,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-6","acf":null},{"id":13463,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar","acf":null},{"id":13504,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-19","acf":null},{"id":9199,"name":"Soccer","slug":"soccer-d105-en","acf":null},{"id":13482,"name":"Submarine","slug":"submarine-en","acf":null},{"id":13487,"name":"Yellow Submarine","slug":"yellow-submarine-en","acf":null}],"translation_priority":[{"id":734,"name":"Optional","slug":"optional-en","acf":null}]},"seo_full":{"native":{"title":"Miguel \u00c1lvarez: “We’re a B team and we’re focusing on us” -
