Óscar Troya: “We’re fully focused on bringing all three points home from Elche”

CD Atlético Baleares head coach Óscar Troya spoke to the media ahead of this Sunday’s clash with Ilicitano CF on 15 November, in matchday 11 of the Segunda Federación. Kick-off is at 11:30 am at Elche CF’s training ground.

“We’re hungry and determined to bounce back from what happened last Sunday. The team is improving in training every day, and we’re fully focused on bringing all three points home from Elche.”

“By Monday, we’d already moved on from talking about the refereeing decisions. We’ve focused on putting right the things we didn’t do well, regardless of those decisions. Continuing to improve is something we can control.”

“We’re heading to a tough ground to face a young, fearless and very dynamic side. They’ll make life extremely difficult for us, and we’ll need to be at our very best.”

“I don’t look at the league table because it affects me, both positively and negatively. I focus on the work we’re doing. If we keep winning, we’ll be up there. That’s the mentality I want.”

“The club is committed to becoming more professional, and bringing Andreu on board is another example of that. He’s someone who will help us enormously, and he’s been making a positive contribution from day one.”

“We’ve got plenty of players available and several options to choose from. At the end of the day, who can you count on? The players who are available. I’m confident that whoever gets the nod will do a great job.”

“I want energy, bravery and confidence. I want players who express themselves, who aren’t afraid to take risks in the opposition’s half and who are always looking to finish attacks.”

“They’re a side that competes well, enjoys plenty of possession and has different ways of playing. It’ll be a difficult match, and we’ll need to be at our best to come away with all three points.”
