Most positive match
“It’s the most positive match we’ve played so far. With players who needed that kind of stimulus. Even with a man down, you’re able to read the situations of the game, thanks to the energy provided by the substitutions, with grit, energy, and spirit. I want to thank the fans, they helped us even when we were one less, and I thank the players for their effort. Congratulations to the boys and thanks to the supporters.”
A committed group
“Everything is positive. The team’s commitment is evident. Otherwise, with one player less, we wouldn’t have achieved what we did today. There’s incredible dedication. We knew how to attack in spaces, a point we needed to improve from last year. There’s still a long way to go, this is about continuity and consistency. Everything will depend on the stability you maintain in a wonderful league where you can go from heaven to hell in a single match.”
Tight knit group
“The fans are with us. You can win, lose or draw, but this is a team that is committed and truly feels this jersey. The year with 18 players, and this year, these are the most dedicated squads. The team gives their all, shows spirit, and today, the fans, gave us points. In a different atmosphere, we probably would have lost. Today, everything is positive.”
Eneko’s brace
“Eneko is a key player. He’s had his process. In preseason, he suffered an injury, and sometimes things don’t go perfectly, but players need time to adapt. He’s improved physically and in finishing, in the box, he’s a different player. He also threatens spaces, as he did today, and I really liked the ‘Lobo’-Eneko duo. I saw it in training, and it translated well into the match.”
Copa del Rey clash
“Now we’ll try to win in Estepona. Prepare things, look for solutions, and work on improving outside of La Rosaleda, those little details that haven’t gone our way, we need to fix them. The most important thing is that everyone has contributed, and we see a positive synergy.”
