Interview Jose Luis Oltra 27/02/2010

" Even with the loss the line to follow is the one we saw today." This was the phrase that José Luis Oltra announced in the press conference on Saturday night after the CD Tenerife - Real Madrid game. The trainer repeated that he is proud of the players as they never gave up.
The trainer of the blue and whites explained that " every loss hurts and if it is a big score loss this hurts even more. We lost against a great team, a team with wonderful abilities. In the fist half they shot at goal twice and scored two goals. We then managed the 1-2 but their third goal came very quickly. But the team never stopped fighting. There is a great difference between the two teams.”
He continued his analysis of the weekends game. " with the 1-3 most teams would have stopped fighting but we didn't. Even with the score so hard to overcome we had various shots at goal. Real Madrid is very solid in defence. Even with the loss we need to keep on the path we followed today. I continue to believe in the team even with the away results. There are 14 finals left, starting in La Coruña. We are conscious that our options mean we need to win the home games. Not every game is against a team like Real Madrid"
He continued "My job is to see that the team gives their all. There is one club, one Island and one set of fans who respond to us every week. Our goal is to fight. We are going to achieve salvation, with suffering, with pain but we will achieve it." insisted the trainer.
Oltra reminded that the team continues with their head held high: " I try to look for the best way to win. You can blame the team for nothing, today they played the best thy could. What happened is we played a team with different dynamics and with a great ability to score. The difference in the field is not what is reflected in the score. Although that is just an opinion."

"My work and mental effort and that of the group is what will get us out of here. The feeling when you lose is bad. The losses make people sad.” finished the local trainer.
