A few days ago the directive of the CD Jávea made public the hiring of Roberto Granero as coach after the resignation of Juan Carlos Signes. Granero is one of the most experienced coaches in Valencian football as he has been on the bench of the most illustrious teams.
QUESTION. Do you like important challenges such as the CD Jávea?
REPLY. Yes. The reality is that the club has marked expectations from the beginning of the season and, well, you have to try the ascent play off. There are other teams with the same goal as us but I think we have enough potential to at least, in the end, have options.
Q. What convinced you to come?
A. Above all the ambition of the project. I like ambitious challenges. In addition, the important interest shown by the club to come.
Q. Did you decide to have known players in the squad?
A. Yes, I have acquaintances. I had Paco when I was in the subsidiary and gave him the opportunity to make the leap to the first team in the Federation Cup, and Edu Samblás at the Atzaneta stage. In addition, I have faced most of those on the staff. I have a clear idea of what I have in the team.
Q. You are defined as a demanding coach, is it true?
A. Well, we like to be demanding, we like that those around us get the message and thank God it has not gone very wrong.
Q. Do you have enough staff to address promotion promotion?
R. At the moment I am not going to ask for any signing, we just landed. I have to see the players, they have to know us, so for now not. We will leave to work with peace of mind, then if we see that there is any position that is weak, we can talk.
Q. Have you seen a lot of Preferente Group III football?
A. Yes, the truth is that it has given me time to see Third Division football and especially Preferential, Group III, which I know most of the teams perfectly.
Q. Any secret has the category?
A. Well, you never know everything about the teams but it is true that we have a rough idea of how they are and most of the players.
Q. Are you surprised that the level of the teams in this group has decreased compared to other seasons?
A. It is true that it is somewhat lower, but it surprises me that any team that is not well classified scores when one of those in the high zone of the classification is measured. This also indicates that you have to work here with great humility and you can't trust anyone. If you do not have a good day, anyone wins and the points are equally important when you lose them to direct rivals to when you do them to those below.
Q. Are five points very difficult to overcome?
A. We think we have many options to overcome them. We have a template to work well, do things well and meet the goal that the club has set. What we have to do is compete well in this category. If you do not compete it is difficult to win games.
Q. Do you think the positions above are already defined?
A. I think there are five teams positioned and it will be very difficult for them to fail. Soon there will be a cut and we have to play it.
