Nuke Mfulu: “Every derby week, people stress how important the match is for the entire island”

Nuke Mfulu appeared in the press conference, ahead of the match against Club Deportivo Tenerife this Saturday. The player expressed that "My best memory is my first home derby when we won 2-1, it was an incredible feeling." Additionally, he added "I'm physically fine, in the last game I could have done better and I've worked to improve for the derby."

Regarding the pressure due to the importance of the match, "It's not a double pressure, we've played several derbies. We have experience and we will enter the match knowing it's special, we'll give much more intensity." "If we score, we'll have an advantage, but in the last game, it wasn't like that, we weren't able to maintain the result," he added.

About what he expects from the opponent, "They may close themselves, we'll have to be very patient and recover balls, we'll have to be accurate in our passes. We don't know how they'll prepare for this game or how they'll enter, we'll adapt to what they do."

Regarding the last derby in Tenerife, he explained that "It's not revenge, we're in a new season and a lot of time has passed. We're not thinking about revenge, we're focused on our goal."

To conclude, the yellow player expressed that "There's no better way to break this negative streak than in the derby, it's a good opportunity to win away from home again."
