Quique Sánchez Flores has gone through the microphones of ‘El Larguero’ by Cadena SER after getting the victory with Getafe against Real Madrid in the first game of 2022. The coach has reviewed, among other topics, the current Azulona, ​​if the Madrid is favorite to win The league and the state of the Barcelona.

Madrid, favorite: “There is still a league. It is an open league. With Covid it opens up even more because every week we are exposed to losing more. I see Atlético with a margin of recovery, Sevilla which is our next rival. Madrid is a team armed with young people They have matured. They have quality players and the club imposes competitive fear and submits. “

Butragueño’s words: “I did not see it live and on TV it is difficult to judge it. That action occurs constantly in stopped balls.”

Barça, discarded: “I have not named Barça. Xavi has to do a very elaborate job. What he does will have a lot of merit if he is able to put him in the top four. Barcelona, ​​which is a great club, is undergoing a historic remodeling. He has done an incredibly rare and strange management of success. Now he is in a situation of comeback: comeback in squad, change of direction, president, coach. They are going to return to their origins, but it will take a while. I think This year it is not enough for them to compete in the League, but as a club and with the players I respect them a lot “.

Selection: “The National Team is very young and the coach is young. Barcelona nurtures. A little more is needed from the League champion”.

Postpone matches: “Officially it is not adulterated but it changes a lot the forecasts of the matches. If this stops there will be no calendar where to put the matches. Better that it be judged by whoever has to handle it.”

Getafe streak: “Two consecutive home games commands a lot of respect and more so when it comes to Madrid. The footballers did an excellent job.”

What have you given the team: “I believe a lot in the training of the mind. It was the basic thing when one sees so much negative charge. There is a giant mountain to climb. What mattered to us was to start creating something that would convince the group. For that we had to do it with the mind clean”.

Mental aspect: “Having that peace of mind to get involved in what matters and when you arrive is that the player is focused 100% on the moment.”

Madrid on vacation: “Ancelotti knows his team well. When you are in front there are things that never seem wrong to you. Madrid is an almost perfect team. Our players played an excellent game. We went ahead. He changed the game script to the rival and when you have to change that vision. “

Competitive character: “When I arrived, I think they have competed and deserved points. The team is starting to compete well. It is a very competitive group of players. There are players who have competed at the highest level.”

Uruguayan players: “The Portuguese are the European Uruguayans. Everyone knows what Uruguay has been like, a small country that has produced many players.”
