Nafti statements prior to FC Andorra
Nafti talks about improving the presence in the opposite field
“Difficult and different compared to what we have found so far. A brave team that presses in the opposite field. You will have to be prepared for everything. One of the best ways to defend is to take the ball from them. Tomorrow there are several games within the same game, we will have to overcome all the barriers to get the three points”.
Andorra has beaten rival directors in its stadium
“No, impose no. We are Levante and we know the responsibility we have in tomorrow’s game and we will go out on the pitch to win. We have that information and we work on it. How they have hurt Éibar and Granada. We focus on the same thing, taking the nuances of the rival into account.
win and convince
“You convince by winning, now and always. What counts are the points. We need to have more presence in the opposite field, to have more success in the last meters. It is what will allow us to score goals. Tomorrow will be a slightly different game because they will come to put pressure on us up front and it will be a little more open. You convince by winning”.
Work with forwards in front of goal
“I never mess with the effectiveness of forwards. I consider it to be a very complicated job, but it worked in a specific and mental way. Two games without scoring goals we can’t afford it, but we don’t have to crush the forwards. The guys are working on it, it’s glitches. The only way is to keep working and everyone does their part to improve in this regard”.
There is more anxiety around the I raised what inside
“I mentioned it the other day. If you put yourself in the shoes of the fan, the one who really suffers Levante, and he enjoys it when everything, I would be the same. They see other teams ahead in the standings, and you’re in Second, I put myself in the shoes of the fan and I think it’s normal that Levante has to be up. But there is a part that the fan does not see. The sensations that my players give me, and that allows me to see the future with optimism. I have to understand the two parts, the coach and the fan. I understand the parts, but I can’t deny the peace of mind that my squad gives me. What people want is less nonsense, they want game and points and it’s logical and understandable”.
Good feelings in sporting and personal terms
“They have a lot of games in their legs. They have seen promotion, relegation, they have won the Europa League… What is more important is the feedback that I perceive and they are convinced that they are on the right track based on what we do on the pitch. Nobody had signed these points at the end of the preseason, but there are many aspects of the game that the team pays off. We see the possessions, the fluidity in the game. We’ve been missing that for weeks. You also have to get a backpack off of you and I’d like to think that backpack doesn’t weigh you down as much. I see the future with optimism”.
