Garcia Pimienta said during a press conference following UD Las Palmas' loss at the Estadi Olympic Camilo Cano. "We understood how difficult the game was, they play at home and they have drawn the starting team, which we expected, and they have played very well," the yellow coach admitted, "after the dismissal of Enrique Clemente, another game remains to be seen."

After passing normal time and overtime, the squad went into a penalty shootout, about which the coach commented: "Yesterday we were practising them, but penalties are only missed by those who take them and today Fabio was unfortunate". "We put together an XI of young lads, and I am not disappointed; it is true that they may have had one further step because of the motivation. The equality is at its peak "He continued.

Saliou made his debut today, and Joaquin y Garcia Pimienta stated that he was pleased "They should be extremely pleased. We had to go all-in on the game. Almost everyone was expected to participate; they came out with more energy, but in the end, I believe we did fairly well "he came to a conclusion.
