In a complicated week after the defeat at the Arenteiro field, Oier Olazabal, one of the team's captains, has addressed the media. He has been self-critical, but has also stressed that the tricolor team is still very close to the promotion positions.
Statements by Oier Olazabal
"It's true that the other day was a hard blow. We didn't deserve to lose 3-0: we had many chances and they punished us with very little. It was a blow for everyone. We've had a couple of difficult days, but we're still alive, we're still close and we're playing again on Sunday so it's time to get back to it."
"Some informations arrive to the dressingroom, but we have to focus. We all trust Ferran [Costa], both he and the staff are doing things very well and I think the problem it's on us, the players, that we are not performing at the level expected. We are conceding too much and at front we are not being decisive, but we are still close to the objective and we have to focus on that and change the situation".
"I understand that the club wants us to be at the top, to be fighting for the first position, which was the objective at the beginning of the season. We are not completely bad, but we can give a lot more. I understand that. We have just been relegated from the second division, but this is the Primera RFEF, everything is very even and it is very difficult to win. We have to keep working, we are with Ferran and we have to win on Sunday".
"He [Ferran Costa] continues to bring everything back to normal. Today we had a video session, we saw what we did well and what we did wrong and he continues with attitude and desire to help us and make sure we win on Sunday".
"The summary of this first part of the league has been that we have improved a lot in the game. At the beginning we were not entirely clear on how we should play and in that we have grown a lot, and on the other hand, we are not as regular as before in terms of defensive security: at home we are very good, while away from home they score a goal for us at the minimum that they get. We have to focus on that, on being strong defensively and dominating the areas".
"We have to continue the streak. We are the second best team at home, so it will be because we do something well. We are going to continue in this line and start the second round with much more hunger".
