Miguel Concepción was on Friday in Barlovento. The president of CD Tenerife took the time to visit the Mayor Lázaro Brito, of the area thanking him once again for the support given to the team by everyone in the area. The president had time to talk to the press. He made the following comments about the club.
Preseason. “I have been informed about everything that went on here in Barlovento. What we already knew has been confirmed. The trainer is happy because the squad is showing good form. He actually expected them to be in less shape than they are. He is very happy".
Signings. "We are making a great effort and sacrifice financially to have a competitive team, that can start with good expectations. Everything that improves the group is to our benefit. Julio Álvarez had offers in the first division, but he belived in our project and has decided to come to Tenerife. This shows the form we are going to have. We are miking a team with plans. On paper we are the favourites butthen we will need to work long and hard. The idea is to recover what we lost at the end of last season".
Central defenders. "You all know that we are in discussion for Prieto to be one of our players. He would come on loan but this isn't fixed yet. I never say anything is so when it isn't. We hope to finish these discussions soonWe are missing two central defenders and we will find them. We are also looking in the international market."
Marc Bertran & Nino - "We are counting on Marc Bertran. There were offers for him but they were not serious offers. We are confident he will stay. He has one year left on his contract and we are sure he will be playing here. We are sure over the year we will negotiate that he stays longer. We have had offers for Nino too but we want to count on both these players. Some agreement could always happen but of the offers that have been made nothing came of them".
Season tickets - “We have 1300 renewed season tickets. This is a holiday time and it shows. We hope the new signings will help enthuse people to renew. I hope the press will help us create enthusiasm for our new project. Monday will be the first day that you can buy a new season ticket and I am sure there will be moe sold then. The number of renewals is normal for the date".
Calendar.- “The calendar is al the same. Every game we need to go out and fight our hardest. I am loking forward to the team going out there and winning . I will be going to the game in Girona and hope we will win there. It would be great to get to the derby, have everything tied up and they could make us an honour parade. But the league is long and hard. I hope the team will fight to go up from the first game. The derby at the end could be lovely, like a gold watch for Canarian football. It will be a great game. Best would be if neither have anything to play for by then”.
Friendlies.- “We are greatful to Barlovento, the town hall and the town team, el Norte. The freindly we play here every year has been to help pay for the grounds. This year we prefered to pay them for the time we have used the ground. Then there will be the games against Marino & Zaragoza. before we go to the mainland. Once there we will play against Almería & Betis. We didn't manage to arrange a game against Hercules but we are in negotiation with Levante. In any case we will play against important rivals. The presentation game for the Trofeo Ciudad de Santa Cruz is not yet fixed. We are still looking for a team”.
