The ability to “compete against everyone” reassures Luis Miguel Ramis in any match, including, of course, one with such special ingredients today’s derby, to which “each one” must cling to what “seems convenient” to think that they have more or less chances of succeeding. In the case of Tenerife, Ramis finds sufficient reasons not to be pessimistic. “We have already shown what we are capable of, at home and away, against any rival, against them -Las Palmas-, last season…”, reviewed the blue and white coach without forgetting that the record does not guarantee anything either. “This is another League and there are other conditions, but we are going with the utmost confidence that we can do things well, because we are capable of competing against everyone, we have shown it,” he said in the post-training session yesterday at the Heliodoro.
Ramis warned that the derby “will have moments” for everything, some more “intense”, others in which one team will dominate, sections in which “one will be a little more superior in terms of sensations…”. It is the normal preliminary reading in each match, because, in reality, “it is very difficult for a team to absolutely prevail over its rival in all phases”, indicated the coach, convinced that both yellow and blue and white are “trained” to “sustain” their style of play and “generate difficulties.”
In the case of the Sports Union, he pointed out that theThe main difference compared to the trajectory followed last season is in its defensive strength. “He has half the goals -against- in the same days”, he warned before adding that “if they maintain the offensive maturity they already had and add a certain solvency”, they will obtain the result of being in the noble zone of the table.
Far from surprising with any clue about his plans, he recalled that he is not in favor of dealing with “eleven types”, although he admitted that the team has been winning in continuity with almost the same players. “That’s good news, because it means things are working,” he said.
Starting and substitute theorists have agreed to offer an adequate response in the week of the derby. “You don’t have to motivate or increase intensities,” Ramis said in the hope that his footballers will not be conditioned by the atmosphere that will be created tonight. «You have to be mature to play a game of this profile, but it will be amazing; I hope they give me that opportunity, “acknowledged the coach.
Reviewing the previous days, he did notice “anxiety” among his footballers to “arrive” on Saturday, but he did not perceive differences between the “way of working, rigor and demand” this week and any other. Of course, he admitted that “more messages and encouragement” come to him from the environment, because it is a “beautiful and intense” game, one of those that are “marked” on the calendar for its meaning.
Ramis is living it with “a lot of calm and responsibility”, without deviating from the marked path.
