Lucas Alcaraz, coach of UD Ibiza, appeared at a press conference satisfied with his team’s performance despite the defeat against Eibar (1-0). His team ends the first round of the season eight points from remaining, but the coach from Granada does not lower his arms nor will he allow the squad to do so. “He who does not have faith will not see the promised land. And here everyone will have faith”he indicated, hitting the table in the Ipurua press room, to point out that they are going to “die killing”.
For the celestial coach, his squad played “a very good game.” Ibiza “went out to find the rival, to press and wanted to win at all times.” “In terms of merits, it has been quite even. The team can have very few buts, except for the result”, indicated Alcaraz, who also made it clear that his block “worked more than enough to achieve a tie”. “We were very close, at least, to scoring,” he insisted.
He clarified that it took him a long time to make the changes because his team “was fine.” “I had second-row players on the bench and, for me, the second-row players were the brightest”said Alcaraz, who thought the game signed by Kaxe and Joseda Menargues, the two rookies, both signings in the winter market, seemed “very correct”.
He recognized that the dressing room is “screwed up” because what his footballers want is to “win”. “That rage, that poison, you have to eat it to get it out on Saturday, so that it can serve us for something positive, ”said Alcaraz. Because Ibiza will receive UD Las Palmas on the next day, in another tough match on the January slope that the Pitiusos have to face.
