Fran Escribá: The Key to Real Valladolid's Success Lies in Defense

The Valladolid coach analyzes the team's situation and the importance of the next match against Burgos.

The coach of Real Valladolid, Fran Escribá, has made it clear in his last press conference that the team's defense needs urgent improvement. He assures that, to achieve solid progression in the competition, it is essential to be “more aggressive in defense to not concede so many goals.” This analysis comes after a painful defeat against the bottom team, Mirandés, which left the team “annoyed”, although they have already regained their spirits through intense training. The objective now focuses on achieving the three points against Burgos, a rival that has been strong and orderly in its last presentations.

Escribá has highlighted that Burgos is a team that “does things well, is very organized, works as a group and leaves no space in defense.” This defensive solidity has made them one of the teams that concedes the fewest goals in the category. However, the coach is optimistic, stating that “you can win perfectly.” This match not only represents an opportunity to score points, but it is also a clash of regional rivalry, where “there is much more than three points at stake, especially for the fans,” explains Escribá. The Valladolid fans are essential, since their support could be the push that the team needs to forget the recent defeat.

Regarding the lineup, Escribá regrets the absences of Marcos André and Garriel due to injuries, and the absence of Peter due to a suspension. However, he is happy to have David Torres and Noah Ohio back, in addition to anticipating the return of the starting goalkeeper, Guilherme, in the coming days. Amath has also returned to training with the group and his participation is expected to be key in this final stretch of the season.

The coach recognizes that, due to these absences, he will not be able to repeat the starting eleven against Burgos. Although he considers that rotation is necessary, especially in defense, he has already defined the team that will take to the José Zorrilla field. The priority is clear: reduce the number of goals conceded, increasing aggressiveness both in the rival area and in one's own. “We are working on it,” says Escribá.

It is a fact that this year he has been prolific in goals, but the coach is not satisfied with the defensive performance. “We are conceding too many goals, which indicates that our defensive efficiency is poor,” he points out. The concern lies not only in the chances generated by rivals, but in the ease with which they manage to score, even when they generate few opportunities. “That must be corrected immediately,” concludes the technician.

In short, Real Valladolid face a significant challenge this weekend against Burgos, and the key to success could lie in stronger defense and more aggressive play. The fans are eagerly waiting to see if the team can overcome adversity and emerge triumphant in this crucial match.
