Draw against Barça

“It wasn’t an easy game.  We did a good job, just what we wanted and planned.  I hope that on Saturday we make the most of the point gained against Barcelona to claim the three points at home, as we’ve not got a favourable upcoming match calendar.  We hope to be able to secure ourselves in the position we’re in”.

Deportivo de La Coruña

“Our stadium needs to become a fortress for us.  It must be a difficult ground for rivals who come to visit us.  I think Saturday’s match is at the perfect time for children and their families to come and see us in action, so we can enjoy a capacity crowd.  I hope we play a great game and achieve a brilliant result”.

Debut of Luis

“I have a good relationship with everyone, including Luis.  I was also in the youth ranks, and know how significant it is to move up and take part in important matches.  Luis showed what a great player he is.  He’s not just a player of the future, he’s also very useful to us.  I hope he fully absorbs these moments he’s experiencing now in First Division professional football, as they’ll stay with him forever.  Indeed, I hope he plays with us for a long time”.
