Statements by Jesús Clemente
"We're in a good moment. We've got into a very good dynamic and we have to continue with it if we want to get into the play-offs, which is what we all want. We're very happy that this moment has arrived because we needed it."
"Everything is very open, and we know we're there, and it depends on us, which is very important. If we have a good end to the season, we'll definitely be in these promotion play-offs. It's a matter of merit: if we do well between now and the end of the season, we'll deserve it, and if not, we won't."
"It all comes together: we're working very well day-to-day, we've found the key. We're controlling the moments of the game, with the ball we're being more direct and we want to have it, and without the ball, we're being much more intense. This is key, and it's being reflected in the results."
"[Gerard Piqué] is a very important person who has had an incredible career, so everything he says will be good and will help us a lot. We're happy to have him here. With his experience, with his knowledge of football... and I think that's where he knows those details that help us all as players."
"We have to play with this risk, feel comfortable. If we want to have the ball, we have to take these risks, and we're convinced that's how we have to do it. Sometimes we have problems, but that's part of the game."
"I'm happy, trying to help the team in every way I can... Every season is different. I knew in what league I was, which is very tough, but we're there, still three points behind the second-placed team, and we have time to achieve great things."
