Paquito referred to his side’s current situation and the squad he has chosen for the trip to Madrid for the match against Getafe, saying "those who are available are all going, as there has not been a lot of time between last Sunday’s game and the one tomorrow". He stated "we will take our time to see which team we put out as some of the players are carrying knocks".
Regarding tomorrow’s rival, he said "Getafe are quite similar in style to Deportivo Alavés, although they are in a more comfortable position", although he is aware that "we will try to play to our strengths while adapting to other circumstances required to take on our rivals".
With reference to the pending arrival of a new manager, Paquito made it clear saying "that is out of my control, what I want is to leave the team with the highest number of points available so as to facilitate his arrival as much as I can". He spoke of the experience of taking over team affairs for the four league matches, saying he will remember it with "a great affection, peace of mind and the responsibility of leading the team and representing the club", he concluded at the press room at the Estadio Gran Canaria.
