Luis García: "I don't understand sports and life without energy, enthusiasm, and trying to improve. I am convinced that we will play a great match in front of our people, whom we need more than ever."
Luis García indicated in the preview against Burgos CF that "Winning strengthens and comforts, but we are clear about when we are good and where we are weaker. In that sense, we have to keep strengthening what we are good at, but also engage in self-criticism to improve where we can win."
Luis García appeared at a press conference ahead of the match against Burgos CF. "We have had a very good week of work, in which we have focused on many aspects of the game against Burgos. We have also done some self-criticism to keep improving, because our goal is to try to win matches. The other day we drew, and now we face this with the hope of winning again and adding three points," he stated.
Some of his statements:
"Just as when we win matches, the mental work of the players is continuous. Because in professional football, the mental aspect is fundamental. We need to maintain balance throughout the year, whether we win or not. That is the same idea as on the first day."
"To win matches, you have to do many things well in this category. We have to get back to our game and be balanced. We know that we will face a very tough opponent, with a clear and defined style of play, who doesn't allow many goal-scoring opportunities and doesn't get stressed in low-block defensive situations. We have to manage all aspects, control the game, and steer the match to where we know we can win."
"Surely I have made decisions that were not correct. But from there, we analyze it in the same way as when we win or when we went into Christmas in direct promotion. There is no excess or lack of analysis whether you win or lose."
"We broke the two consecutive defeats with a draw. My ambition as a professional or as a footballer when I was one was to go out and win every match. Now I try to help the player and the club to grow. My ambition has no limits. I have tremendous energy and I want to keep improving personally, but above all at the club level."
"We must accept the boos and applause in a professional spectacle. I do not agree with insults in any way. I have never known, as a footballer or coach, any athlete who wants to do things badly. Everyone puts in their maximum effort to do things well. It is very ugly and painful to see young children insulting players or referees. I think there is little respect for professionals, regardless of accepting boos or criticism. But everything would be better if it were always done in an educated manner."
