Quique Álvarez appeared at a press conference ahead of the match that Girona will play tomorrow against Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere. The coach emphasized the need to regain confidence, correct the aspects that have prevented the team from achieving good results in recent games, and face the challenge with ambition and composure.

“What we need to do now is clear our minds and improve on what is not allowing us to win matches,” Álvarez explained, noting that the team must identify what is not working and take a step forward to reverse the situation. In this regard, the coach called for calm in the face of the pressure stemming from the goal of promotion. “Within the logical pressure to get promoted, we need to maintain calm and composure,” he stated. Álvarez thus stressed the importance of managing expectations without losing focus or confidence in the team's potential.

The ambition to fight for promotion, precisely, is one of the aspects the coach believes should not be hidden. “We must not hide from the ambition to get promoted. And Oviedo is the right place to reverse this dynamic,” he assured, pointing to the Carlos Tartiere as the stage where the team wants to react and recover its best form.

Regarding the opponent, Álvarez also commented on the change on Oviedo's bench and the impact it could have on the Asturian team's environment. “Raúl's arrival on the bench has surely brought activation to both the squad and the fans. This situation should motivate us,” the coach noted, expressing hope that this context would also serve as a stimulus for his players. Finally, Álvarez was firm in analyzing the team's performance in recent matches and demanded a higher level of effort. “What we’ve done in the last two games is not enough. Therefore, we need to push harder,” he concluded.
