Luis García: "We are very eager to finish the year well at home, with our people. We want to give them the victory."

The UD Las Palmas coach stated that Cultural "is a rival to keep you on your toes. They know how to handle the ball, they don't shy away from it, and when they don't have it, they transition very well, with fast players."

There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

Luis García appeared at the press conference prior to the visit to Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, a rival he described as "dangerous, they know how to handle the ball, they don't shy away from it, and when they don't have it, they transition very well, with fast players. It's no coincidence that they have won in important fields like Santander, Valladolid... They are an opponent to be wary of."

These were some of his statements:

"I am clear about who is going to play tomorrow. Normally there are changes, but as we approach these days, it's rare for me to have a debate about who might play."

"What the players are doing is very commendable. Starting a new project with young people is never easy. I think we have to value it, it's very difficult to be so competitive every day. We have to have that self-criticism to be better, after January a different story begins."

"The team's spirits are at their peak. The players have the ability to see those obstacles in the way as energy, it's part of our process, and we have to face it as such. We didn't like the draw, but we can't forget that until the eighty-something minute we were in direct promotion. We have to keep that ambition and feel that we have to be better."

"The only thing on my mind is that match against Cultural. I am focused on that, that we are capable together, team and fans, we need them more than ever."

"With Kirian, as with everyone, we handle it naturally. We try to make him feel better every day, to be able to be at the highest level. He knows that he will always have us close for whatever he needs."

"Every match is different, but something common in the last three has been that lack of precision in the final pass. I have seen great improvement from those players who have more than enough ability to make decisions. These have been matches that have taught us a lot."

"Ale García is much better, we'll see how he does in the training we have left today. Sandro has become a father, everything went great, I take this opportunity to congratulate both him and his wife. I see him happy and in good spirits, he is doing a great job and is quite close to rejoining the group."

"It's not anxiety, the team is progressing very well, sometimes everything they do seems easy, and that final pass is one of the most difficult parts of football. We shouldn't put all the responsibility on Viera, Manu and Iván have done it more times."
