Luis García: "The players have to realize that they can achieve great things through hard work, humility, and focusing on the day-to-day."
After the victory in Butarque, the coach expressed being "proud to belong to UD Las Palmas and to be able to manage these great players, who give their all every day."
At the press conference, at the end of the match held in Butarque, Luis García commented that "Leganés brought the first half to duel situations and it was difficult for us. In the second half, we adjusted and were more comfortable" and praised his team after the effort made against a great rival like Leganés: "We have to give a lot of value to the victory because they are clear favorites for promotion. What the team has done today is very commendable."
These were some of his statements:
"There is no doubt, Jonathan Viera makes the difference, he appears in situations where the ball doesn't burn him. We know how much he helps us, both when he's on the field and off it, and the only thing we can do is thank him for being with us and enjoy it."
"In modern football, if you don't win duels, you're dead. Leganés is a great team and has physical profiles superior to ours. That's where the game changed, because with the ball we were good."
"They were positive minutes for Jesé, he interpreted the situations of attacking the space well. I would like to highlight everyone who came on because it is very difficult to enter a game that is already in motion. I give it tremendous value because it shows that the team is committed, and that helps us earn points."
"The team has a lot of talent and a lot of future. It's a pleasure, and I feel very proud to belong to UD Las Palmas and to be able to coach these players. They work incredibly hard, and they need to realize that they can achieve great things through humility and focusing on the day-to-day."
