UD Almería head coach Xavier García Pimienta has repeatedly emphasised the importance of 'concentration' ahead of Saturday's match against Real Sociedad 'B', making his expectations clear during his pre-match press conference.

'Anyone who doesn't understand football and looks at the league table will think it'll be a walk in the park, but it's quite the opposite. We're up against very tough opponents who given their results, will be more dangerous than ever,' he stated. 

The Rojiblancos' gaffer then assessed Sanse: 'Despite being a team in development, they have a huge amount of quality. They're also very well coached, as I know their head coach personally. They compete hard, play vertically, are aggressive and play brilliant football, so our concentration levels must be higher than ever.'

The Barcelona native added: 'I know what the opposition have been put through this week behind closed doors and that makes them very dangerous.'

This will be UD Almería's first match since moving to the top of the table and the head coach shared his thoughts on their new LaLiga Hypermotion position: 'The league table doesn't affect us. It's the reward for winning 6 games in a row, which isn't something you see every day in this division and the squad's hard work has been reflected in the results. There's still a long way to go.
