The yellow coach stated after the victory in Riazor that "we have to congratulate these players who have brought us this far in a difficult category. Congratulations also to our people who have supported us."
These were some of his statements:
"We will have time to talk about the opponent in the Play-Off beforehand. I understand the rush and urgency, but right now I want to stay calm, it has been an afternoon full of emotions."
"I am fortunate to have people who can start and who can bring us different things depending on what we are looking for in the first and second leg. The most important thing now is to recover and prepare well for the match."
"The most important thing is to focus on the present, the league has been very demanding. Now a completely different story begins, and we are going to fight to the fullest to achieve it."
"We are going to value the players and our people, who are the ones who have brought us here. Barcia and Viti are progressing, we will take it calmly. We have gotten this far with significant absences, and it has never been an excuse. We need everyone, and we will fight for it."
"The season has been very tough, I think we have been quite consistent, which is very difficult. The team has taken steps forward, improved, and evolved in its play. Each year this league will be more challenging."
"I said it beforehand, I was really looking forward to experiencing a Play-Off, and people have always told me that UD's are special. I am very eager to see our fans, I have no doubt they will be there, as they always have been."
"The league is so evenly matched that you never know what is better or worse. Anything can happen in the Play-Off, we have to be aware that it will be a knockout round, not just one match, and we also need to know how to play it. We are fortunate to have people who have already played in this format."
