Lucas Alcázar looks ahead to Leganés and preaches “day by day”

Castellón are set to face Leganés with Lucas Alcázar—from the opposing side’s hometown—doing the scouting on the game and reflecting on his personal situation and the team’s excellent start. As reported by Sport, the orelluts have climbed to first place thanks to a run of performances both at home and on the road.

A homecoming with focus

Alcázar says the team’s start has been “fantastic” and believes the side has been delivering strong displays in different scenarios. In Sport’s quotes, he adds that, individually, his job is to keep helping the squad and stay ready for whatever role comes up: “If now it’s my turn in this position, then it’s time to keep working.”

He also frames Segunda División as a long competition full of shifting moments. “The important thing is that it catches you prepared,” he says, before insisting the only approach is going “day by day” and maintaining the same intensity regardless of circumstances, because that keeps the team competitive and ready when it needs you most.

Versatility and a clear message

On Leganés, Sport highlights that Alcázar expects a tough opponent with plenty of quality and a style that likes the ball and attacks with numbers. Castellón’s response, in his view, is to play their own game, try to be proactive, and go for the three points.

He also notes that Castellón has been alternating formations and that he feels comfortable both as a wing-back/carrilero and in a back line of four. For him, it’s about versatility and contributing wherever the coach believes he can add value. Finally, he discusses the pressure of being near the top, saying it’s something you set for yourself and that the team must be prepared to change course quickly if a dip comes—an approach he links to the club’s “daily work” and the support from the crowd.
