Wingers and breaking through
“The coach gave us the keys for the match. In some situations, Joaquín or I had to win our duels. I saw the goal, now it’s about keeping up the momentum. I want to contribute more in that area, and I have to keep improving.”
Enjoying the game
“The coach has instilled it perfectly. We go out to enjoy every match, without fear and without pressure, and the results we’re getting are very well deserved.”
Numbers and hard work
“I’ve said it many times, I try to give everything on the pitch. I contribute more than just goals or assists, and that comes from the sacrifice in training. I put in that effort, and it shows in the matches. There’s a lot of work behind it.”
Málaga-Burgos
“They started the match quite well, which I didn’t expect. I thought they would play more direct. We tried to keep playing, and in the end, through hard work and persistence, the breakthrough came with my goal and then Chupe’s. In the second half, the pace dropped a bit, but winning 3-0 against Burgos and taking the head-to-head is very important.”
No limits
“What the coach conveys is not to set limits or strict objectives for ourselves. It’s January, there’s still a long way to go, bad runs can happen, and that’s when we need to stay calm. We have to stay united when tough times come. At some point we’re going to lose, it’s impossible to win everything.”
High pressure
“We’re a team that has pressed high since the start of the season. I work on it, and I don’t get tired at the end of matches. That comes from my loan at Mérida, I stepped up in that effort because today’s football is very physical.”
Puga’s renewal
“I asked him on Friday, he said no, and it took us all by surprise. I’m very happy for him; he’s someone who gives everything on the pitch, is very humble, and has more than earned that contract renewal.”
