Valuation. “It’s a game that we needed, that we needed after this week, especially at the level of sensations. It’s a bit what we were talking about, that the team was working well, but it seems that there is always a mishap, today it was Iñaki’s thing, which is a scare, he got some staples and he’s fine, and it seems more and more that we are more limited in terms of personnel in that sense. But I think it’s a game that we have dominated from the beginning, that we have done what we had to do, we knew where they were. their scoring points, in which players. I think we have stopped them well, I think the greatest merit, despite being good offensively, is having left them at 32 points at halftime, having limited the number of losses, although at the end of the game we lost a little, and then also having been able to maintain concentration in the second half, which when you have those leads is not easy. We have lowered the intensity a little, which is also normal, because we also had to try to rotate within the average as much as possible and with the few players. available, but good, satisfied and eager above all to recover and think about the next game, this doesn’t stop and on Wednesday we have Cultural.”
The best way to end the negative streak, with a resounding victory. “Without a doubt. We knew that the schedule was complicated by the rivals we had in front of us, especially with how we got to these games, but that cannot be an excuse, if we want to be at the top we have to win as many games as possible and thus win decisively at home with the fans, who once again support us in numbers, in the end we say it, we have already said it all year, but in a Second FEB game to see Pisuerga like this, with so many people, for us it is a source of pride. That “Sometimes it becomes a bit of pressure, with some players you can tell that sometimes they have a bit of pressure, so having gotten a result like that at home with our people, making them enjoy it, I hope, is very positive for us.”
And back on Wednesday again. Is the end of the year getting too long for you? “Very long, very long. On Wednesday Edu Arqués cannot play because we signed him later, so he is one less player. Iñaki’s situation is not serious, but now he is still dizzy, we have to see. He is a little aware of the evolution in the coming days, he will play for sure, on top of that this will never be erased, but well. Juan García-Abril today has made a tremendous effort because he has a tooth that he almost does not have, which after the blow the other day that only allowed him to play two minutes, he has played with a mouth guard to help the team as much as he could, which I also think has been very good. We are going to the limit, it is the reality, it is that even though we have won more than 30 points today and the feeling is good, we are going to the limit of strength, we are going to the limit of energy, and well, this month is getting a little long, a little hard, but we always say the same thing here, we have to beat Cultural, if it is with nine players, with nine, if it is with seven, with seven, and so on. If it is with ten, because today Fares, who made the wheel, can begin to help us, well, I hope, I hope.”
The good thing is that this scoreboard has allowed you to rotate more and for the youth players to play.. “Yes, there I always say the same thing, we have to give them the prize, I believe that they are still in a work process to be prepared for this level. Íñigo is with us on a day-to-day basis every day, just like Juan Neri who could not be here today, who surely would have had minutes due to a mishap he had in his wrist, who also has not been able to play with the reserve team, and in the case of Pablo Hernández, well there above all it is a prize. He is a boy who always comes that he has no class to help us, so it is no longer a matter of level or potential or whether he is prepared for this, but rather it is a public gratitude that he can play here with 2,500 people, even for a minute and a half, because he is a boy who comes on Wednesday mornings and this Friday he did not have class, and the first thing he does on Thursday when he finds out is call us, call Pablo Roldán and say, ‘hey, I’ll be here tomorrow’ So it’s also a wink because without them, the day to day life without them would be. impossible, day to day life is being very difficult but without the boys who help us it would be impossible.”
