García Pimienta: “To win, we will need to play an outstanding match”

The coach of UD Las Palmas came before the media telematically at a press conference given at the team hotel where the squad is staying, just 24 hours before the team's second abroad encounter against SD Ponferradina.

There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

"The team is performing well," he said at the start of the press conference, "the first good match away is helping so we arrive in good condition for tomorrow's match, where we will have to play an outstanding game to gain the victory." "The team, though, "is not used to playing so frequently, and we are a little worn out" he says. We will decide how much time each player will get to play."

Regarding the squad's progress: "There is no such thing as an invincible team." We are doing extremely well, working very hard in each training session, and it shows in the achievements. This is the way to go. We will continue to trust in our idea even if things do not go as planned."

In regards to the competitor: "Ponferradina requires caution on our part. They have potential, and I think they make a good squad. Given their recent performances, they will want to win when they play at home ".

Considering names: "I like Oscar Clemente. He has a lot of talent and is highly flexible, but I wish he had participated more last year. He has advanced more this year and is succeeding to get to where he is. Another player with great promise is Pejiño. He gives it his all, expects the same from the rest of his teammates, assists us in areas that are not his, and is always ready to perform well. Lex Domnguez has a lot of experience playing goal in the Second Division, but Alvaro Valles, in my opinion, is the one who now has the obligation in such a crucial role as goalie.

To summarize: "With the kind of talent we have, leaving the greatest players on the bench would be disadvantageous. My responsibility is to choose the finest eleven. Any player can start. Everyone is prepared ".
