Granada midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juanma-Ortiz-c19855, has said that his team cannot afford to loose all the three points from their encounter with fellow strugglers, Espanyol.
Granada are rooted at the relegation zone just two points ahead of bottom of the table team, Espanyol.
The two teams will meet at Los Cármenes stadium on Sunday knowing whoever wins will breathe a sigh of relief.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ortiz-c28691 knows his team has to turn around their form very quickly. He said that they must focus on La Liga now and quickly get results to salvage their season.
“We must focus on the League and struggle out of our decline.”
Espanyol are also going through a difficult period. They are rooted at the bottom of the table and recently sacked their coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauricio-c24899 Pochettino.
The midfielder knows his team’s clash with the Catalans will be a tricky one since their situation is delicate and are also in dire need for a good run of results. He hopes his side will play well, create chances and get the win.
“Espanyol are in a delicate situation and we have to become strong in our own domain. We train to be an intense team, pressing, working and competitive, and hopefully on Sunday we will create chances and go for the game from minute one.”
Moreover, the Spaniard refused to talk about the end. He stated the importance of focusing on one match at a time and urged his teammates to stand up to the occasion.
“It’s too early to talk about the end but this is an important game for us.”
The 30-year-old remarked on their exit from the Copa del Rey at the hands of Real Zaragoza on Thursday. Ortiz wants his side to forget about the loss and just concentrate on the upcoming match on Sunday.
“It was a very tight game; we lacked the third goal which would have taken us through. We must stay with that intensity and the good parts of the performance.”
El Grana have not managed to keep a clean sheet in all of their matches in the Primera Division this season.
