The Marbella-born midfielder, who provided the assist for Larrubia’s 0-1 goal in Las Palmas, spoke after the match in Gran Canaria. “It’s incredible what we are experiencing. It’s a gift, and we are enjoying it a lot,” he said.
Analysis
“The team competed very well. We know it’s 180 minutes, but the team stayed faithful to the plan and knew how to suffer, even managing to increase the lead.”
Backheel assist
“I was following Chupe’s move, waiting for him to pass it to me, and after the rebound I saw ‘Larru’ behind me. It was the only option, the backheel, so I laid it off to David.”
No speculation
“We don’t speculate, we go out to win, at home or away. We take the positives with us. There are 90 very important minutes left with our fans.”
Everything wide open
“The tie is still open, and in a playoff anything can happen. We don’t think it’s done, instead, we focus on doing what the coach asks of us and trusting the plan.”
Managing the workload
“I spoke with the coach to manage my minutes. I’m feeling better physically, quite fresh, and playing 60 minutes suits me better for recovery.”
Fans
“It’s incredible what we are experiencing. It’s a gift, and we are enjoying it a lot. Let’s get through the tie and make La Rosaleda a fortress. We have to live every match as something unique, go for the win, and not let ourselves be dominated.”
