Leeds United boss Javi Gracia's pre-Bournemouth press conference every word on Whites collapse, Willy Gnonto decision and Luis Sinisterra's injury

“In my opinion Bournemouth is a well organised team, they have a very clear style they want to play. They did it yesterday, they are doing it in the last games and they were able to improve the results they’ve got in in the last games. Now they are in a better position than us but we are going full of confidence that we are able to play well and to get good results.”

“Because football is not only money. In football you can compete well if you are well organised, if you have the values I think we have in this case Bournemouth have as well. It speaks very well about them because if you see the budget, sometimes it’s better not compete.”

“In this moment he is not training with the team, we will see the next day/tomorrow if he can help us or not but, now, he is not training with the team.”

“It depends on the game. I think when you play against Liverpool, for example, it was tough for us because their high press was very aggressive and we didn’t have enough time to find the solutions and to have more possession. But in other games, I think we can be able to have more possession. In the last games we put in from the beginning Patrick and Rodri upfront. We tried to find them in sometimes more directly than other games. But in other games we try to with our mobility with our options with the quality we have in both sides, the quality we have to play, I think we can have more possession in other games but the possession is not only, is not the most important. I think the way you have the possession or the the chances you create with that possession is more important for us in this moment..”

“First of all they are professionals and in my opinion, they are very good professionals and you have to manage or to deal with it. You have to handle. There are moments when you feel better and there are moments when you feel worse but in all of them you have to show your professionalism and give your best. Now is the crucial moment of season and now is when feeling better or worse, you have to give your best. It is something simple like that. We have to keep going, keep working the way we are doing and I’m sure doing that we’ll be able to change the dynamic we have.”

“Of course you feel better when after working or during all the week or some days you have the reward of points. But, as I said now, we know we have to compete and to prepare for the next game because we missed some important chance, of course and when we know it, but now we don’t have time to think about that. At the end of the season we can we can analyse what happened in that game or different things but now we have to be focused only on the next game and I think the confidence is coming from all the things we have done before that they did it and they can’t do it again.”

“I try to analyse all the things. I try to analyse my team, try to analyse the players I have because, as you know, the last games we have we always have some players out and then, knowing that, I always try to choose the best shape, the best 11 and after knowing in the most in the most part of the games the players are coming from the bench decide the game. In all the last games, as you can see yesterday, there are many players injured and all the players have to be ready because all of them are going to be important..”

“In my opinion it was a strange game because we showed a very good phase the first half, creating many chances and in my opinion deserving even a better result. But in the second (half), we changed, we conceding goals, many clear chances and the other team showed their quality and made the difference. After that we’ve competed in some games well. Not during all the games but in the last in the last game against Leicester it wasn’t our best game but we competed better and I think are close to competing and at the same time getting the results we need.”

Are there things in those games you wish you had done differently as a coach?

“In between the last games, we didn’t have much time to work. Between Fulham and Leicester we had two days and then now we’ve have some days more to prepare. Now, today, yesterday something, today after recovering Thursday. And now today we have some some time to do something orientated for the next game. I think this is what this moment of the season is with this busy schedule. We can we can do it but it’s something we have to to adapt, not complain at all and try to to prepare as better as possible..”

“In between the last games we didn’t have much time to work, now we have some days to prepare, now we have time for the next game.”

“It’s tough for us to lose key players but I prefer don’t complain, be positive, give value to all the players that I have, that I have enough players to compete better and try to work with them and try to find with them the way to compete better and to get the results we need to achieve our target at the end of the season.”
