He Sports He is two victories away from permanence with five days to go after being with a foot and a half in Second Division B and, now that he sees the goal close by, his coach, Fernando Vázquez, has warned of the danger that a relaxation of the players would pose. “The team is happier, looser, obviously, because coming from good results gives you more options to win the next one and we are in this situation,” he said at a press conference.
“When the objective is far away, nobody gets off the car, but when it is close there may be some relaxation, which I hope will not happen in our case. It is a detail to take into account,” he said.
“40 kilometers from home I would never get off the bike, but when I am 500 meters away and there is a slope that is difficult to climb, I get off, because I am already close,” he insisted, and recalled that something like this has happened to him in ” some club “.
This Sunday, Deportivo will host Huesca at the Abanca-Riazor stadium, which he said is “a dominating team, well armed, structured and well managed” by Míchel Sánchez.
“Míchel is doing an important job and has characteristics of a very dangerous team,” added Vázquez, who did not hide that he “would like” to have Pablo Insua at Deportivo, the Huesca center-back that the Galician team wanted in the winter market.
In addition, he said that in the Huesca squad “there are several Galicians and a few former sportsmen”, among them, Pedro Mosquera, ruled out by Deportivo a little less than a year ago.
“Football is a box of surprises, footballers who were here left and are important players having Huesca up there,” said the Deportivo coach.
In the box
Vázquez, who will not be able to be on the bench due to sanction, stated that “it is normal” for him to be “in the box” at the Riazor stadium and criticized the punishment they imposed (two suspension matches) for telling the referee “not you see”.
“It seems to me an impressive disproportion, but that’s what happens, that’s how the clubs want it. I committed a small foul and they prevent me from working and directing the game on Sunday. I don’t know how this favors football. It could be a fine, but prevent to a coach who does his job on match day, I don’t think it’s good at all, “he reasoned.
He also analyzed the different criteria of the referees when it came to pointing out maximum penalties such as the one they whistled against against Tenerife.
“I am a one hundred percent VAR supporter. It is an extraordinary help for the referees and I think they also have to notice it. The referees are very important, but little by little they are taking away problems. The VAR is not wrong, the one who interprets the VAR is wrong. Sometimes there are incomprehensible errors, but in any case they would be reduced to 4-5 percent, “he commented.
Vázquez expressed the desire to have the next season in the squad a Borja Valle, which ends his contract, although he specified that “it does not depend only on Dépor”, and referred to the departure of Mamadou Koné, the only player who finished his contract on June 30 who refused to complete the season.
“I spoke with Koné because I did not want to sign the renewal and I was interested in the reasons. In that conversation, it is clear, he explains to me the reason why he does not want to extend his contract because he is playing less than he did with the previous coaches. I tell him that it is important, that I even thought about him for next year, but it seemed to him that he was not playing enough and refused to continue, “he said.
