First match: Osasuna at La Rosaleda

“We start off against a newly promoted team, who are extremely eager.  We hope to start with a home win, it’s also important to kick off the competition at home.  Our last matches are against teams that tend to always be at the top.  We look forward to achieving our objective as soon as possible so we can enjoy the last games.”

Unity

“It’s crucial to see the team, fans, new coach and new players all united…we must engage and work as a team, the sooner we do that, the better results we’ll have.”

Pre-season

“The feelings are positive.  Some good players have arrived, young players, who move quickly and who are keen to earn their place on the team.  Added to this is the new coach with new ideas.  We’ve got over a month to do what the coach requests of us and prepare for the first match.”

Excitement

“I think this season those in charge have been doing a great job bringing lots of new people in; people who excite the fans.  When the fans are behind us, we really notice their support and it gives us a real boost on the pitch, which is extremely important to us.”
