The UD Las Palmas player, Iñaki González, appeared before the media ahead of the match against Éibar, highlighting the difficulty of a game to be played at Ipurua and the importance of approaching the match with a winning mentality.

The yellow midfielder also spoke about his development this season, the learning he has accumulated since joining the first team, and the support he has received from his teammates and the coaching staff.

These were some of his statements:

"This league doesn't care about the matches you win or lose. Anyone can beat anyone. Éibar is very strong at home. We are analyzing how to hurt them to go for the three points."

"My position is very complicated because we have excellent midfielders. I have good qualities for the balance that position requires. It doesn't matter if it's Sergio Ruiz, Kirian, Loiodice... they help me a lot. They talk to me about things I need to improve, how to position myself. Thanks to them, I am gradually improving and gaining rhythm."

"The coach's words give players a boost of confidence, which is good in my case because it allows me to loosen up a bit more. That confidence gives you freedom on the field, as does the support of your teammates. All of this helps you continue growing and improving."

"Last year, I had a different role that helped me a lot. The minutes Luis García gave me helped me improve. His concepts also helped me improve within the team. Thanks to the minutes from last year and the things Luis García gave me, I am more prepared this year."

"It's a source of pride. Since I joined as a youth player, I dreamed of experiencing this like every academy player. I am still not fully aware of what it takes to play for UD Las Palmas. Every minute I get, I try to make the most of it. There are bad days for everyone, but the sacrifice and effort to defend this badge must always be there, and that's what matters most."

"The team is improving. Before the 1-1 the other day, we played our best minutes of the season. We are pressing more in the final third, where we are closer to scoring. We just need a bit more composure in the opponent's area. We create many chances; we just need to convert them."
