3.23pm – Mario Gila’s press conference has begun
How important is it for you to play against a Spanish team?
“It’s an important match, but I don’t think it’s more important for me. It’s true that playing against a Spanish team has an effect on me, but personally I take the matches in the same way as the team does. Tomorrow will be the most important match of the championship phase and we want to bring home the three points.”
You know Real Sociedad well. What game are you expecting?
“As the coach said, they are the second best defense in Europe, they are good at defending even with the ball and patience will be needed. We will have to manage the timing of the match and be strong in the two penalty areas. This way we will achieve a high level match and the three points. They are very strong in midfield, it will be a game we have to control to reach the objective and win the match.”
