Antonio Hidalgo knows that the objective is not yet secured. With the confidence gained from the recent victory in Elche, the Azulgranas return to El Alcoraz to take on Racing. “When you win, you feel stronger and more confident, and we needed a victory. That makes us stronger for what’s ahead, knowing that it’s not enough. We have to be prepared for everything and emotionally stable,” said the coach.
The fans will be well behind the team once again, and a lot of them are expected at El Alcoraz. “We need to follow the game plan and make sure that everyone understands it, be with our crowd, push to the limit – no matter what happens, until it’s enough. Then we can talk about something else. We need to be mentally strong so that we can put up with everything and know how to suffer," Hidalgo insisted. A tough opponent awaits on Saturday: “They will make things very hard for us. We’ll have to pay attention, be very focused and concede little. Racing are producing a great season.”
In order to fight them back, Hidalgo emphasizes the unity and commitment of his players: “In a group it’s key to stay united and work together – everyone is essential. They all push each other, understand each other and help each other, and that’s extremely important in football,” he concluded.
