Coach Lillo Wants 6 Points Before Xmas

Coach Lillo held his weekly press conference this morning after the penultimate Zubieta training session of the week. He admitted the squad was excited about the possibility if adding another three points against Albacete. Regards the squad for the match he is very happy Carlos Martinez has recovered from his injury and Xabi Prieto is ready to start from the beginning of the match. He said he believes in the 18 man squad and doesn't see the youth players as just fillers but rather players who can add an extra punch. In particular youth players Kitok, Jaime, Merino and Diego Costa.

Lillo also took the opportunity to defend the work done by Technical Director Loren after yesterdays comments from President Badiola (see below). "I work closely with him and i'm very proud to. He is very capable, knows what to do and puts the clubs interests above personal interests".

In other news a press-conference was held yesterday by Real Sociedad President Inaki Badiola where he called for the resignation of Mr. Ibargutxi, administrator for Real Sociedad. "It's hard to live with someone who is against us" said the president.
Also, after viewing pictures of some of the game between Malaga and Tenerife last June 15, Badiola said "we want to go to the end" on the issue of the alleged purchase of the game by the Malaga CF. He also raised issues he has had with Technical Director Loren. He revealed "recent signings in which he has overseen have not been as successful we thought." He also said he couldn't agree with Loren when it came to the issue of Mikel Alonso, who recently ended his contract with the club. He finished by saying Loren had participated in meetings againt the council - "If you're with others can not be with us." Time will tell if Loren is in his position for much longer.
