Cano: “Our ambition and illusion to be champions remain intact”

“If we had won, we would be in a better position, but there are still many games ahead and all the teams are playing a lot. Even the last one on the table still has save options. Our illusion is to win the game against Alcorcón and then see what happens. We are not only dependent on ourselves, but we have also been far from the top and still have shown that we can compete at the highest level. We don’t cease in our ambition to be champions, but if we are not, there is another chance and the team is ready. We have gone to two difficult fields like Ferrol and Córdoba and it did not seem like the inferior team to me. Our ambition and enthusiasm remain intact”, Cano said after the game.

The sports coach called the final draw “fair” after the two teams split each of the two halves. “In the second half, they changed the tone and we tried to adjust. I think the tie is fair. It is a team built to ascend. The reality is that both Castilla, Ferrol and Alcorcón have won, so we are going to have to do everything possible to be champions and see what the others do. But we are prepared to face it all. You can’t put a but on the boys. We are going to continue rowing to take Dépor to professional football”, stated Cano.

“They pushed and they have great players. In front of us we had a historic rival and a squad full of resources. Precisely that uncertainty was reflected in the game, since as we put in midfielders, it seemed that the game became more back and forth. I think that in the end we were able to find the prize of the goal thanks to one from Antoñito who gives way back and doesn’t connect, and another from Raúl, who crosses one winger and finishes off another. They also had their chances and pressed, so the tie is the fairest thing to do”, summed up the blue and white coach.

Oscar Cano He also stopped at the controversial play of the match, in which Quiles he received a blow to the face for which he had to be replaced. “You have a favorable result at a given moment and it is normal to get knocked out in those circumstances. I would have to review Alberto’s action again, but it seems that it was not intentional. However, it was a dangerous foul that could have had serious consequences. His eye is closed and swollen, with a bruise, and the extent of the injury is not yet known. If the referee had sent off the player, the play could have changed the course of the game. The referees are also human and they can be wrong, you have to accept it, ”he said.

The blue and white coach also denied that they would pay for the effort at the end of the game. Cano indicated that it was something normal. “The profile of players we had on the field is not very physical. We have a team built in a different way, with players who dominate the ball and try to subdue the opponent. The demands of the match, the heat and the pressure from the rival team took its toll on us”, Cano highlighted at the end of the match.
