Good team game
“Congratulations to the lads for their work. Today there were moments of high-quality play against a rival who, with very little, and being unbeaten, can hurt you.”
Collective spirit under maximum pressure
“We’ve tried to stay ‘high’ and rest with the ball when energy was fading. Doing good things is contagious, just like the negative. We are a team built on collective spirit, and on those individual pieces that contribute to the good of the group. The level of equality is so intense that you can go from everything to nothing in an instant.”
Solid and decisive
“In the end, it’s on the pitch that things speak. I’ve been here a long time. Today we were very solid and decisive in both boxes. Individual talent also showed up, like Joaquín, who beat opponents and contributed to the goal. These are situations you have to analyse, and I’m very happy.”
MCF Academy, very present in the win
“I feel proud. In moments like this, it has always gone well for me. Feeling it, with sweat on your skin, is the best, because it’s a feeling of belonging. If we were able to play with the same excitement that Rafita showed, it would be amazing. Just like I felt when I made my debut with Ponferradina. In any job, that spark, that enthusiasm, would be wonderful to maintain. Several players have stepped up today and will be important. That’s what I feel, pure, raw homegrown talent.”
