CORREA: "WE HAVE THREE VERY DEMANDING MATCHES COMING UP WITHOUT THE BOOST OF THE HOME FANS"

Joaquín Correa spoke to SFC Radio this Wednesday after finishing up a morning training session in the Sports Village. The Argentine, already focused on this Saturday, said the international break has been good: "The rest did us good because we have a lot of games coming up. We are having a good season and now we need to think about the difficult game that we have. There have been ambitious players here for a long time and we want to continue on the same lines, seeing if we can give even more."

Though some are yet to return to Nervión, Correa said the team needs to make up for the lack of a home advantage in order to keep aspiring to more: "We now have three very demanding matches where we wont have that boost that the fans give us, but we have to try to win so as not to lose that forwards momentum. We'll have to play well and be focused to be able to fight to the end out there."

"There have been ambitious players here for a long time and we want to continue on the same lines"

Looking to the next match, he talked about the always difficult trip to the San Mamés: "It would be impressive to get three points on a very difficult stage, where we've not been able to win for a long time. With that mentality, humility and bravery we can do it. We're doing well, we're training to 200% and that makes you improve and compete. You always want to play, but there are a lot of teammates that do things well too and we're all ready".

Finally, he recognised it was a special day after Argentina booked their tickets to the World Cup: "We're very happy with the guys. Being a part of the process in the way I am, we struggled a lot for it and at the end we achieved our goal. It would be weird to not see Argentina at the World Cup, with Messi leading us all. For me it's an objective, or rather, a dream I've had since I was a kid and I'm going to go for it".
