Arribas: 'That super-intense UD Almería is the one we have to be from now until the end'

Sergio Arribas has just led his team to their most recent and momentous victory over Racing de Santander and outlined on UDA Radio the key to follow in the match at the Anduva Stadium this Sunday: 'They're having a great season and have promotion to the top division within their grasp. In the end, both teams have their own particular pressure but theirs is greater because their match could be historic. It'll be difficult, but for both of us.'

The UD Almería forward outlines the following scenario: 'CD Mirandés have only lost one match on home turf, just like us at home. Intensity will be key, but if we perform like we did in Cádiz, we'll obtain a good result.' And that last away game has been crucial for the Indálicos: 'It was a turning point. When you find yourself with 9 players on the pitch and you see the team running as if we were one and giving it their all, it really strengthens you. That super-intense UD Almería is the one we have to be from now until the end,' he commented in the interview.

'Our style of play is full of transitions, and if we combine the speed we have up front and how well we link up with our defensive aids, we'll pull it off,' Arribas analysed.

The Jabalí outfit (hosts) are on a 4-win winning run and the Madrid native never gets tired of repeating it: 'CD Mirandés don't compromise on effort and we'll have to fight for every ball so that, when we have it, we can put the style of play that has led us this far into practice. If we manage to score the first goal, we'll be true to our identity.'

This is Sergio Arribas' first season in Spanish second tier and he has netted 7 goals, some of them purely through goal-scoring instincts: 'In the end, I spent 3 years under Raúl González and he insisted on the need to always go for the rebound because one always ends up falling and even if it's one in ten, you must be there to convert it into a goal,' the 23-year-old explained.
