Arrasate: "against Real Madrid you have to choose what suffering you want"

   MADRID, 1 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Osasuna coach, Jagoba Arrasate, stated this Saturday that they will seek to "give continuity to the start of the League" against Real Madrid and on a stage "to show" where they are, although he acknowledged that the whites "submit" you and you must "choose what suffering you want".

"If we have the ball, they will be more uncomfortable, but that will not be eternal. You have to choose what submission or suffering you want, and see what capacity you have for suffering. They are also very comfortable with spaces," said the rojillo coach in the press conference prior to this Sunday's game against Real Madrid.

Arrasate assured that they have "turned the page" of the defeat (0-2) against Getafe, to face "a team that has won everything". "We are thinking about how to minimize and harm them," he reflected on the whites, of whom he highlighted their "different registers." "When you receive the line-up an hour and a half before, they all seem good to you," he confessed.

Arrasate, who was "excited" and already has a "clear" line-up, urged them to carry out a "plan" against the whites, since they will not be able to "cover everything". "You have to decide where you give the space, to the back or in initiation. Many times we do the plan and other times what we can. If you go in a low block it cannot be passive. If you have the ball, they do not have it and it is the best way to defend. We will do what the match requires", he analysed.

"These teams have the best goalkeeper and the best striker. You have to be consistent and the options you have to be effective to score that goal that gives you more opportunity to get a good result," he warned of a game in which he noted that "everything is magnified."

Arrasate believes that at the Bernabéu "you can draw 0-0 and come away happy and people call you defensive, and other times you can be more offensive and they score four and people applaud you". "We want to give continuity to the start of the League, the team is in a good moment, tomorrow is a stage to show that we are here and make things difficult for them," he said.

"We know that the public presses and how the stage is, if you enter well, you can give it continuity. But if you do not enter well and you have no personality, you become small, and if that happens you are dead," he predicted.

Finally, Arrasate advanced that this month before the break for the World Cup is "very important", so he will need "all" his players. "You have to get to the break with positive feelings and with points. Everyone is in a good moment and that reassures me," he settled.
