Iñigo Pérez on Unai López, Raúl de Tomás, Camello, Comesaña, and Villarreal

Rayo Vallecano

Team's condition

"We are arriving well, the defeat the other day stings because we played a good game and we want to make amends as soon as possible and maintain our style of play and level. Villarreal has characteristics similar to Barcelona and they want to break into the Champions League spots."

Reaching Champions League

"It's a reality and I agree with you. I think it's good that Europe is being talked about because it's real. It's three points that bring us closer to a rival like Villarreal. Europe or relegation are situations further away in time and I wouldn?t feel comfortable."

Tough schedule

"For us, staying in Madrid these weeks is important because travels are exhausting, regardless of the infrastructure."

Lack of energy this week

"When you haven't lost for a while, it hurts, and when you have played well, it's like rubbing salt in the wound and it hurts even more. I haven't seen a lack of energy. They know they have performed well and received praise. We must reconnect with victory and with winning again because the league is exciting for everyone."

"Camello has a long-term absence. We hope Unai speeds up these processes as it's muscular. Raúl must tell us the steps to take. Joni has had a minor setback."

Respect for referees

"I prefer to receive praise for how the group functions. I find it strange to be praised as a coach for speaking well or controlling what is said about the referee. There are lines that cannot be crossed."

Reflection on this

"Sometimes we feel frustrated because we are not at the level, we feel pressure... we try to look around to find something to hold on to. Lately, what is happening is excessive. We would enter into wars that tarnish this sport."

Villarreal

"It is harder to find their weak points to try not to expose their strengths, and us ours. We will need to be flawless."

Condemnation of Rubiales

"As I said with the refereeing decisions, I have an opinion. I won't speak out in a press conference."

"As soon as he arrived, he came to greet the coaching staff and mentioned that he was feeling better. It's not like Unai?s situation, which is an injury and there may be a fixed date. We must be careful and not speculate."

Comesaña

"I have always liked him a lot and he has polished small details that make him an important piece at Villarreal. It doesn't surprise me. He is very complete and masters many aspects of the game."
