Iriome talks about the derby

Iriome González was the player interviewed on Monday in the press room in the Heliodoro after the training session. He was asked about the derby next weekend against UD Las Palmas which will be the last game of the season.
The player from Icod de los Vinos started by saying “an unusual derby because of our situation, but still it is important because of what it represents. It is an important game for the club and the fans”.
“If we win, we will at least leave the fans with a little happiness. Even if the team is descended the derby counts a lot. Those of us who are from here know what these games mean”, added Iriome, who doesn't expect to be greeted happily in Gran Canaria: “It won't be comfortable there as there is always an atmosphere. But we will not hide from this. A game like this at the end of the week is a great motivator”.
When asked about next season, Iriome said: “I hope that the future can be worked out for the benefit of the club and me. I would like to stay here, but right now I don't know anything”.

I know it will be a fight, says Luna

Hidalgo started by explaining that “we have a real desire to play. The week has been great and special for us. No one derby that I have played in has left me with the sensations like the CD Tenerife-UD Las Palmas game. I want to experience these sensations as right now nothing else counts but to win. We have to give the fans something to be happy about. I know they have been there since the first minute and the players are need to remember this”.
“This will be a great match with a hard fight. We need to maintain our calm. There is a lot to do.

Antonio Hidalgo remembered with special happiness “the derby in 2004 and the drive the win gave us to move up”.

Ezequiel Luna was also interviewed today. The Argentine defender talked about the derby and in the first place talked about the two derbies he lived through in the 08/09 season. “It was really special. I had the chance to play in both games and we won them. Las Palmas didn't score. Hopefully this Sunday we can repeat that. This isn't any ordinary game. There is so much in play and everyone involved needs to make the consummate effort. .If I get the chance to play, I will play my heart out but always with my head on to think what is best. Every player has his good and bad points and I know we need to concentrate. We need to be 200 percent there, watching everything”.
When asked about the arrival of compatriot Dubarbier, the defender stated that “Sebastián comes to add to the team. He is very talented and wants to add his grain of sand to CD Tenerife. We have to all pull together and above all right now but this is a classic with great feeling. It helps to know the whole island, our fans is behind us”.
Luna was asked if the bad moment that the team is going through will affect the match this weekend, he answered “when you get on the field, you forget the table. We will have to fight and it will be hard but at the end this Sunday the best team will win”.
