Victory for the players

“The merit goes to the players, without doubt. We believe in their potential, today we played a very complete match and we’re delighted. We challenged them to be brave and we saw the team’s effectiveness both in defence and attack. With these new, different situations, we are very happy. We now have the first of the seven victories we want.”

Courage

“We are highly demanding in all aspects of play because any detail can make the difference. One isolated player and the match can change. In the second half the attitude was fantastic, many thanks to the players for being brave. Also, our fans, who enjoyed the game and it was worth getting wet for”.

Mentality

“Emotional management is fundamental, as is tactical, physical or technical work. I don’t see this situation of change as complicated, the players taking a step forward, when you’re in the fight for promotion. For us it has been very easy to convince the players. Who doesn’t want to be in the First Division? The response has been very good. At a tactical level we planted new situations and the players have shown the quality they have”.

Goal-scoring wingers

“The wingers on this team are top level and we want to make the most of that. Ontiveros? Not just in attack, he was also phenomenal in defence. We are a team and must congratulate all the players, we’re very happy”.

Work and performance

“Now we’ll analyse this match and we’ll find things we want to improve on. During training sessions throughout the week, ensuring the players have confidence and develop methods with efficiency isn’t easy. Our obligation is to demand more to give more performance”.

Next match

“We’re not going to ask the fans for anything, I’m certain they’ll be at La Rosaleda on Saturday to achieve the second victory”.
