Real Sociedad vs Girona Build Up

Coach Lillo gave his weekly press conference this morning and the message was cautious - "We are going to play Girona and see what happens". He was keen to point out that there are still many points between the teams in the promotion places and Real Sociedad but he is happy the supporters hope has been restored after the last two victories. On the opponents for Sunday's game he added - "It will be very difficult to win. Girona are very determined and are always well organised so its important to never lose focus during the match and let them create chances".

Club captain Mikel Aranburu spoke yesterday in the press room at Zubieta after a training session which seen a large turnout of fans due to the good weather and holiday. He made it clear the squad is very determined to continue the winning run against Girona as it could provide a platform to go onto bigger things. He also pointed out a victory is essential to keep the pressure on the team thats in third place.

After Markel penned a new contract last week it now looks like full-back Xabi Castillo won't be following in his footsteps just yet. He has revealed talks have ended for the moment - "I have always said that my dream is to continue here, but what I value most is the ability to move forward in my career".

I would like to apologise for the delay in obtaining the match highlights for the Xerez match but they can now be viewed under Saturdays match report.
