Keep working

“The number of matches remaining becomes less and less, and we’re not achieving the results we want. It’s important that we continue to work hard to get out of this situation, and increase the distance from the teams below us. However, let’s not forget that we’re seven points away, and there are teams lower down than us. We deserve a victory. The team is performing very well. I think on Sunday we’ll have the opportunity to increase this distance against a direct rival”.

“It’s clear that when you play every weekend and don’t win the three points, the first ones going home angry and hurt are the players. On Saturday against Alavés I think we did well, particularly in the second half. The way they won the match in the last minute was extremely tough. We’re aware of how far we are into the season, and are professional enough to know we must forward. We have the team, dressing room and a new coach who is bringing many positives. The entire dressing room and everyone else needs to give a big push so we can all get out of this position together”.

More gameplay than points

“The reality is that we’ve been an irregular team. At the start of the season we secured numerous home wins, whereas now it’s more of a struggle for us to claim the three points. I think in the second round of the League competition the team merits more points than this, but that’s football. The reality is where we are now, focused on Sunday’s match in Leganés. We need to try to turn this around, there’s a long way to go yet”.

“We’re all looking for a victory. The coach, since the day he arrived, made things very clear. We’ve adapted well to what he’s asked of us. He’s a manager who meticulously studies each rival, and tries to get the best out of us. The dressing room and the fans must remain united. We all enjoy the successes, but when we lose is when we need the fans the most”.

“Three points are at stake against a direct rival. We’ve got away games coming up with rivals against whom it’s important to earn points. Not losing is vital. There are three crucial points in play, even more so because of this situation”.

“The position is we’re seven points from the relegation zone, and on Sunday we’ll have the chance to win three points and move further away. We will have an opportunity to move forward, as it stands we’re not a relegation team. We have sufficient players who are mature enough to face any situation, both good and bad, and that’s where this maturity and importance of the players is shown”.

Club's financial situation

“We’ve been through worse times, and I believe we set an example. I speak of what I know, the Club is financially perfect”.
