Ramis hints Del Castillo could start vs Alavés
Luis Miguel Ramis says Osasuna are fresh for the match and backs Romain Del Castillo, calling him “ready” to start against Alavés.
Luis Miguel Ramis has said Osasuna arrive in good shape for the Sunday match against Alavés, and he detailed how he managed the week after the 1-0 win over Getafe. The coach points to a short training week, with an emphasis on giving rest to players who have logged the most minutes while spreading the workload across the remaining games.
A start on the table
Ramis also left the door open for Romain Del Castillo to be named in the starting XI. He believes the Frenchman comes into his first squad call with the right rhythm after training and competing with his team: “He comes from training with his side, from competing. He has already trained with us, has rhythm, is available… he is an intelligent player with experience and familiarity with the pitch.” The Osasuna boss adds that he expects no issues understanding what the team wants from him.
On the opponent, the manager underlines that Alavés are a “tricky” side: they press, stay well organized, and their two forwards create constant problems that demand close attention. He also stresses the need for balance, given their threat down the flanks.
Line-up shaped by the game
Regarding the XI, Ramis says he will choose the formation that best fits the match, adapting to what the game requires and allowing different profiles to be used throughout. “There are many hours of study,” he admits.
