Statements from Joaquín
(Match against Sporting) "Being in this position, and playing our final League match of the season at home, is what we hoped to achieve at the beginning of the year. We know it’s going to be a tough match, against a difficult rival, but we must focus on doing our job and playing as well as we have been in La Rosaleda, with a powerful performance from the start. Sporting will approach the match with a strong determination to win”.
“The expectations for Sunday’s match are so high, making this week seem so long. However we need to take advantage of our chance to qualify for Champions, and give something back to the fans, for their continued support and faith in the team, throughout the whole season”.
“Our fortune is in our hands. We’re not thinking about anything else, or other teams’ results. If we win this match, then we’ll achieve our goal”.
(Personal) "The various injuries the team has suffered have perhaps disrupted the rhythm of the competition somewhat, however physically I’m feeling great, and working as hard as I can to support the team”.
