The technician of the Villarreal, Marcelino Garciawas visibly affected when appearing before the press and expressing his emotions after the tragedy caused by the DANA in the nearby province of Valencia. In the same way, he stated that they must bite the bullet and, Although he would have liked the last day to be suspended completely, he said that the time has come to move forward as is his obligation.. The Asturian indicated that there are no excuses to show the best version of his team against Alavés.
How they deal with it: “We have all lived, we are living, a moment of great difficulty. As a citizen I feel deep sadness and total indignation at the same time. Deep sadness because there are more than 220 dead, more than 70 missing. Many people have lost family and friends, their home and everything they have. And at the same time I am totally indignant because as the days go by we see that much more could have been done to avoid this catastrophe. I wonder every day what has been the behavior of those people who could, firstly, have avoided, and secondly, alleviated, so much misfortune and disaffection. It's hard to accept it. Impossible. Every day I ask myself this. And then in this situation, I wonder how these affected people could have been neglected. Let's hope that those who have the decision-making capacity are able to improve this situation that will last for a long time. I reiterate my condolences to the families who have had close relatives. And tell them that life goes on and that it is worth living.”

Club tribute to the victims: “It is necessary to have the detail. Life goes on and it is necessary to continue with our work. I absolutely agree with the colleagues who said that last day should have been postponed in its entirety. But now we have to continue. We have all had close misfortunes. In my previous stage my father died unexpectedly and three days later he was managing Villarreal. You have to occupy your mind on a day-to-day basis and continue helping. Villarreal always shows that it is close to the people and now there is no other option.”
Psychological work: “Each person's emotionality is very particular, each of us experiences it differently. Every moment has its space. The before will be emotional, but you have to smile, work and continue. First we will get excited and then we will compete at the highest level. That's life. Face each moment as we should and can. In our work, ardor and enthusiasm must not be lacking so that it turns out well.”

Only two games this month: “It is what it is. A misfortune has changed what was planned and I don't stop to think what it means. There is no excuse and you have to adapt. There are much more difficult situations to adapt to. Play, compete and win. “We want to be superior with our work and for the points to stay in La Cerámica”
Alavés waiting: “Each team has its virtues and style. They They are very combative, intense, they demand a lot from you and are supportive.. Away from home they won in Donosti on a very difficult field, although the rest of the results were not good. They came from a negative streak, but the latest victory will give them confidence. We expect a team that can create danger for us on the counterattackvery dangerous in strategies through direct play and second play, with a powerful midfield with Antonio Blanco and Guevara, with a forward who constantly makes you uncomfortable. We have to be ourselves. As we get closer to our maximum level we will get closer to victory. After drawing at home against Getafe, we need the three points.”

News in nursing: “Denis He has been training with the group for two weeks and is available. Foyth He continues with his process but we do not foresee it being in the short term while Pedraza is going for the longer term. You have had a problem and the recovery times will be greatly extended. Gerard Moreno will join if all goes well next week with the group, while Eric (Bailly) “He will be out for a while in the absence of evidence, although it doesn't seem like much.”
Keep gate zero: “If we score one more than the opponent, I'm less worried. I don't have that worry now. I would like to win without conceding, but Since the Barcelona game the team defends much better. The last two goals conceded in the league were from penalties. The opponent's offensive balance is poor and that is the prelude to not conceding. If we continue like this, the dynamics of several games will come in which we will concede few goals and with games with a clean sheet. “We work to win and be competitive so that everything returns to normal.”
