Good feelings

"Of course, we wanted to kick off with a win to get off to a good start, but it wasn’t possible. It wasn’t our day. We’re just starting out with the new players. I think, despite the result, that we can take some positives away from this pre-season game. We will continue to work every day to improve”.

Recovered

"I’m feeling better all the time. After three months of having practically stopped, without playing any matches, I felt comfortable, although a bit out of rhythm. There’s a long way to go until LaLiga gets underway, and I’ll keep training hard to be the best I can possibly be”.

Homegrown players and new signings

"We want them to feel at ease, both the homegrown players and the guys who have just joined us. We’ll help them in every way possible to ensure they adapt quickly. In today’s game, many of them stood their ground”.

Good group

"We don’t know anything yet. We just hear names. Any new players should arrive in the best possible way. We’ve got a very good team, and I’m certain that any player that joins us will adapt”.

Pre-season training

"The idea is to continue how we left off. We ended last season with very strong gameplay and pace, so want to maintain this line of play. Míchel, as always, thinks of us and how we can improve every day. We’ve got more matches coming up this pre-season which will serve to prepare us for the long-awaited start of LaLiga”.
