Pimienta: "Pimienta: "We're Rookies in This League, We Have to Adapt and Raise Our Game"

García Pimienta spoke in a press conference this morning ahead of the game against Almería. The Yellow coach stated, "No one expected a team with Almería's potential to have only three points and no victories, but I'm looking at the potential and the level of their players." "We've only completed 10 matchdays, and there are 28 left, so many things can happen. The new coach will introduce the concepts he deems appropriate; it will be a very demanding match," he added.

Here are some of his statements:

"Pau Ferrer is a guy who did the preseason with us; I know his potential very well. There's a big difference between La Liga and the third division, but I don't want to take any credit away from him because it's very difficult to score that many goals."

"If we base our expectations on Almería's coach, we can get an idea of their playing style. They are playing at home and are in great need. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, it's not definitive for them, but it's very important."

"We need to control the game; our eagerness to win against Rayo made us commit three consecutive mistakes, including the penalty situation. That cannot happen."

"Unfortunately, we are newcomers in this category, and we have to pay that price. All of us need to step up, we can't afford to make mistakes, and we all need to take that extra step."

"Jonathan has been through difficult times, and right now, the most important thing is his wife's health. I make decisions based on what's best for the team. What matters to me is that UD Las Palmas secures their place in this category."

"Alberto has relieved himself from the burden of injury because he has recovered. He had very good minutes the other day. With our style of play, he can adapt to both wing and central positions with complete freedom."
