“Right now, they’re the team to beat.”
On Alcoyano:
“They’re a strong candidate to be among the top teams.”
“They’ve completely changed their squad from last season. The adaptation period takes time, but they’ll demand a lot from us.”
“I expect a rival with real strength.”
Strikers’ fitness:
“Jaume Tovar has trained normally: it was just a scare.”
“Head knocks need extra care.”
“He’ll be available this weekend.”
“Florin Andone’s injury is the same as last week: we hope to have him back next week.”
“We’re fighting through the final stage of Andone’s recovery.”
Regarding training in Inca:
“It’s been inconvenient having to switch training grounds.”
“Tomorrow and Sunday we’ll be able to train at Estadio Balear.”
