About José Arnaiz, who was substituted in the break of the last encounter, he affirmed that, “he is better, he had a little inconvenience on the ischium, but if he completes the training I don’t think there is any trouble that he will fly with us. There is one more training and then I will make the decisions. The players do not know who will playe, but we will see on saturday

When they asked about the rival on saturday, Nafti assured that, “Ibiza is not only a daring team that have scored a lot of goals, more than two in each match since Paco arrived.  Ibiza is one of the teams that run more in the league, that is the data. It will be a very complicated match, and we can think that it will be an open match with a lot of opportunities. We have work during the week thinking about the phases, not only attacking. we have prepared the match for creating danger”. 

“Looking at the table can have a  high cost, we look at the contents of the matches”. 

Talking more about this, the Franco-Russian coach revealed that they are working “to make danger to the rival, knowing their virtues and their weak sports. Another victory will support what we have done during the week, it is not easy to win a match. If we get lucky and we concentrate on each match we can dream of the promotion play-off but in any case if you achieve a defeat you will get depressed, looking at the table can have a high cost, so we look at the content of the matches”.

Regarding the development of the team since the moment he arrived on the bench, he said he is satisfied, “yes we are ambitious. The league will not finish tomorrow and that is a good part, we will keep working, we have different things to improve as the team will not disconnect, but I think we are on the correct path.

 If the draw will be a good result at the Can Misses, Nafti responded “adding points is always important, however we always prepare for the matches so we can win”. He talked about the changes on the line up, like the entry of Róber Ibáñez, the mister affirms, “Róber is alright, the other day he entered pretty well. One thing is that we feel tired, and another thing is to rotate, we can prepare a week for this and recover important pieces, and they can be alright for saturday. Regarding the function of the rival, and the way that they work we can try with other different wings so we can fix the pieces. 

For last, the coach gave relevance to the players Bustinza or Eraso, “They are players that were more important before my arrival, and now they do not have it. In my training I always have that positive attitude but they have a key spot in the locker room. For example, Bustinza the other day, it was the first match of Jimmy Giraudon, and it was a hit for him that couldn't play, nevertheless ten or fifteen minutes before the match he talked with Jimmyso he could help him. This is the same or more important that the development on the grass, and for us on the staff it provide us life.
