You're thinking about Calatayud and then you find out about this

Osasuna manager Arrasate urged respect for Copa del Rey opponents Atlético Calatayud ahead of Thursday's first-round tie, while reflecting on the team's recent loss to Sevilla.

Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate held his pre-match press conference ahead of Thursday's Copa del Rey first-round encounter with Atlético Calatayud, opening with a message of support for victims and families affected by a train accident in Toledo that occurred Wednesday morning.

Arrasate emphasised the importance of respecting the opposition and demonstrating Osasuna's quality on the pitch. He acknowledged the difficulty of balancing analysis of the previous Sevilla defeat with preparation for Calatayud, noting that football can provide moments of joy despite life's serious events. He praised the venue as a good, large stadium that would allow him to assess most of his squad's condition, though he indicated he already has a clear picture of the team's current state.

Reflecting on the Sevilla loss, Arrasate expressed understanding of fan disappointment following the earlier victory over Racing, but leaned towards viewing the defeat as reflective of current reality rather than a poor performance. He highlighted concerns about the team's mental and physical response after conceding, noting a lack of arguments when falling behind and excessive reaction to opposition goals. He stressed the need for continuity in early-match intensity and maintaining effort after setbacks.
