Quique Sánchez Flores Eyes Extraordinary Prize in Real Oviedo Vs Alavés

Quique Sánchez Flores said Alavés will arrive well for real oviedo vs alavés on Sunday, even with it coming as its third match of the week. He said the prize could be extraordinary, but only if his team handles the fatigue that is still present.

Sánchez Flores and Alavés in Vitoria

Speaking on Saturday in Vitoria, the Alavés coach set a narrow target: compete, play a good match and stay serious in both penalty areas. “El premio puede ser extraordinario,” he said, adding that “el cansancio fue importante y es patente todavía.”

That combination of ambition and weariness is the central issue for Alavés. The team has already played twice earlier in the same week, and Sánchez Flores made clear that he is not interested in any outside calculations. “Las demás cuentas no nos interesan,” he said.

Oviedo and Cazorla

Oviedo arrives with its own motive force. Sánchez Flores said the side has competed very well in the second half of the season and will try to show rebellion after losing its category. He also pointed to the emotion around a farewell to Cazorla, whom he described as a very important player.

“El Oviedo intentará demostrar rebeldía ante la situación de haber perdido la categoría y tendrán emoción al despedir a un jugador muy importante como es Cazorla,” Sánchez Flores said. That makes Sunday’s match less about table talk and more about whether Alavés can control a game against a team playing with pride and ceremony.

Sunday in Vitoria

Alavés now has to turn those words into a result in Sunday’s meeting with Oviedo. The task is specific: be solid, be accurate and deliver the serious performance Sánchez Flores demanded. If it does, the reward he described will be within reach.
