The certainty that the Olympic will appear ready in the league premiere against Bullet expressed the Jose Luis Mendilibar.
Speaking on the red and white PAE YouTube channel, the Basque coach emphasized that everyone in the team must study and remember the mistakes they made during the preparation, with the aim of not making them again and correcting them.
At the same time, Mr Mendiliber stated that the players’ legs were heavy from a demanding preparation of four consecutive weeks.
In detail what he said:
“Nothing should be left behind, because in order to fix things, we have to study everything and remember it, so that it doesn’t happen again. We had a very bad second half, we should have had more control of the ball, because when you win 3-0 you cannot give control of the ball to the opponent. So in the second half, Aris was better than us, he took advantage of our retreat and managed to hurt us. These are things that we should definitely take care not to repeat.
The truth is that in the pre-season, there are so many games and we want all players to have played at least four full games each. So we tried to split the games like that, we wanted all players to be ready, to have them all tested. The conditions were very difficult, we know that our players are very tired, they are playing with a lot of load at the moment in four consecutive weeks, consecutive commitments. Also the conditions were difficult because it was very hot and humid it is difficult to perform at your best in these weather conditions. However, in general, we are satisfied with the duration of the preparation. There are things that we saw, things that we want to fix and it was definitely a program that we wanted, but we will be ready next week.”
