Real Sociedad find themselves in the trenches of relegation slots of La Liga. Their awful run of form has put the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 of trainer Philippe Montanier at risk, and striker Joseba Llorente has now come out to support his beleaguered manager and stated that he
wants him to continue in his position.
Llorente made it clear that he and his colleagues will do their best against Betis on Sunday and, are not looking at a defeat so that Philippe Montanier ceases to be their coach.
The striker rejected claims of a rift at the club and the misunderstanding between players and manager.
"We do not propose, nor do we decide that we will lose. We only think about football. We are fully aware about that game," he said.
The striker revealed the thoughts of the squad at finding themselves in relegation slots. The said that they want to win Sunday’s match against Real Betis and to get three further victories before Christmas.
"Right now we have only two things in our minds: to win Sunday's game and take three victories between now and Christmas, because we would come out and play in the new year with a clean head. Because then every weekend we will have the rope around his neck
and talk about it as final, therefore we must win, "he confessed.
Llorente believes the team will give all they have to give and outlined their problem that is their attitude. He said that they have to get over their commitment issues and should start exhibiting their pedigree in the divisions as soon as possible.
Real Sociedad played out a dull draw against Espanyol at Anoeta and were run ragged for the duration of the match. Llorente accepted that they were unable to match the Catalan team physically.
He pointed towards their exhilarating first half performance and said that they could not continue at such a high tempo in the second half.
The versatile player attributed their recent run of poor form to their lack of physical playing style. He lamented the streak of eight games without a victory is due to their incapability in attack and defence, adding that there are fundamental problems
with the team that need to be changed.
