Luis García appeared at the end of the match between UD Las Palmas and Burgos CF, played this afternoon at Gran Canaria. Regarding the result, the coach stated: "I have a feeling of frustration, of being upset. We tried absolutely everything to open the score, it was one of the matches where we created the most goal opportunities. Football has that, it is so beautiful, or so cruel at certain moments, that you don't win the match when it would have been normal to win it."

These were some of his statements:

"The players gave it their all, the only thing we lacked was accuracy, but this is the way, I have no doubt. I am very proud of them, they gave everything."

"Creating such an incredible number of chances, it didn't weigh on them at all. They have tremendous personality and an incredible desire to win. Without a doubt, this is the way, and no one will take me away from it."

"Taisei and Estanis come from a different kind of football, it's not easy to adapt to UD's style of play, in fact, we are introducing them little by little, but I am sure they will adapt."

"Today's match was not easy to play, we had to find that balance between having control and being more vertical. It's clear that the smaller the space, the harder it is to be accurate and precise. The team was active and attentive to losses, we have to keep giving the players confidence so they continue doing what they do, in the end, it's a matter of accuracy. Today it seems we lacked the finishing touch on those actions that were clearly evident."

"The referee didn't call a penalty, the VAR didn't call it either, I think we are wasting time on that because it wasn't a penalty."

"Our mentality is always positive and to move forward. Obviously, we all want to win, the players first and foremost. This is about continuing to insist and keep believing. We deserved to win, but if we didn't manage it, we leave with this 0-0."
