Press conference
Ricca: “The team is working very well”

The Uruguayan winger says in a press conference that “in the first match of the pre-season, we had a great feeling.”

Good work

“It’s been a few days since we started pre-season training, and the truth is the team is working very well, both in physical exercise and working with the ball. As we undertake more training sessions, you can feel you’re doing more, and your body feels better all the time.”

New coach

“It’s important to adapt to what the coach wants, in terms of the style of play he’s aiming for.  Little by little we’re taking on board the form he requests of us.”

Match against Algeciras

“It was the first match of the pre-season and I think we had good feelings.  Clearly, there’s a lot of room for improvement, but I had Jony on the wing and we understood each other very well.  Therefore, working with him, as well as the rest of the team, I think it was a good match.”

First pre-season

“This is the first pre-season I’ve been part of here in Europe, and obviously certain things are different: the intensity and rhythm is higher at times, but we’re doing things well.  Luckily, the more training sessions we do, the better we feel every day.”

Start of LaLiga

“We are opening the LaLiga season, which is great.  It’s always good to start the season winning, and in the best possible way.”

New teammates

“New members of the team have arrived, and they are adapting in the best way.  The group is very good, and this can also be seen in training.  Enjoying what we do and being responsible is the best way to work.”

Michael Santos

“Michael and I have known each other since we participated in the Pan American with Uruguay, and we have a great relationship.  He’s adapted very well, and with Chory as well, we’ll try to make it easier.”
