Diego Alende, the defender who has accumulated the most minutes this season, continues to be a key piece in the team's schemes. This morning, before training, he addressed the media to assess the team's moment and the upcoming challenges of the season.
Statements by Dielgo Alende
"Now it's three wins in a row and I think they're deserved. The team is doing very well, it has a lot of confidence. We were looking for this change for a long time. It's true that it hasn't quite arrived, but now that we have this dynamic, try not to lose it."
"Well, because in the end I think it's believing until the end, like we did in the last two games. Try not to change the game model, no matter what happens in the match, because in the end I think that the rivals arrive very tired in the last minutes".
"I think we're almost in the final stretch, where we can't afford to fail any more and I think the team is very motivated, with a lot of confidence and we'll try to continue like this."
"It is true that the team is better, it is trying to be more of a protagonist in the matches with the ball. I think that we have many things to improve, but that this is the way and when you want it is easier to improve and we will try to continue like this".
"When you are more of a protagonist with the ball, in the end you give less time to the opponent so that they have opportunities to attack you. I think the team is comfortable, not just me, but we are all comfortable defending high, pressing, being pressing and trying to have as much possession as possible".
"They just landed (Iván Rodríguez and Marc Bombardó), but they had been with us for some time, they already knew the rhythm, the level, everything, and in the end they are two boys who when they were given the opportunity to be there have shown that they are ready, they are giving a very good level, they have been showing for a lot of minutes that they already have the level and the rhythm to be here, and in the end we help each other".
"The truth is that I am comfortable with all my colleagues in my position. It's true that now Bomba is participating more, and yes, we're very different, but I think we get along well, and in the end I'm very happy for him because I think he deserved this opportunity and he's doing very well."
"After this last year, it's a year we want to be up here and go up again, both as a club and at a personal level."
"We know that away from home we have an exam pending here, even though we have just won here in Barakaldo, but we know that we haven't done it for a long time. They are a strong team, also in their stadium, even if they are not in a good dynamic now".
"The first minutes is when they have the most energy, and we have to try to be safer here. Try not to make mistakes and come out more connected and yes it is something we are working on and trying to improve".
