UD Las Palmas’ trainer declared after this important win against Sporting that: "I chose the players who were in the best form, and I think I was right to do so. Nabil was really quick today and has had a good game, while Mateo was looking to get involved from deep positions. Jonathan Viera has seen a lot of the ball and we created four or five real clear cut chances to have settled the match", he continued.
"The option of putting Prince up front had been on our minds for a while, and I thought today was a good day to try him out in this position, and he did really well". "I hope we can get another new signing this month to enable us to release another player".
"We are now in a position we deserve to be, while allows us to look to the future with a certain amount of optimism, although in the second half today we gave away too many chances and they could have equalized. I would like to finish the season where we are now, give a position or two. We are now on 24 points, we have a cushion of 12 points over the relegation places, and that is quite extraordinary".
"Our rivals today are suffering right now, and they gave us enough chances early on to have settled the match, although towards the end they had four good chances themselves, so we need to reflect on that and be tighter at the back and defend better".
