Although the maños have conceded ten goals, the most of any team in the upper part of the table, the issue does not appear to concern the coach. At first glance, it is something that can be expected given the team's style of play. In this regard, the table, led by Real Zaragoza, supports the coach's view, as he highlighted the value of the entire blanquilla team's system.
“The team is creating a lot and we are the second team in the league to concede the fewest shots. There have been two matches in which we conceded many goals, but that is a credit to an aggressive team that takes risks and marks opponents man-to-man,” he said in defense of Real Zaragoza's form.
DEFENDING IT IN MURCIA
Real Zaragoza must defend its lead and Ibai Gómez's credentials in Murcia. They will do so at an appealing venue, close to professional football. That said, the differences between the two-time European champion and the pimentonero side should be taken into account, even if Murcia are a classic of Spanish professional football.
“It is not only important, it is a wonderful occasion. Anyone who likes football can see that we are going somewhere with a fantastic atmosphere. We are playing against a great team that has found the great coach it has been looking for years. They are a tremendous opponent,” he said of the match against los pimentoneros.
A REAL MATCH
In this way, the Real Zaragoza coach is encouraging his players to “enjoy and compete in real football.” “We are eager to face a team that presses high, then, when it has more control of the game, defends very well as a unit and has very good players up front. We are two tremendous teams with individual talent, and it is going to be a beautiful match,” Ibai Gómez concluded.
