Mandia's first game

Mandiá was quoted as saying this week, that the players needed to  run themselves to death, be brave and calm.  Above all they needed not to let the other side score early. The trainer from Lugo also stated that the group should be generous, as this is needed when a team struggles.
When asked about Cartageña he commented "This is a complicated rival. They were strong last year and have reinforced their lines so this year they are more dangerous. That said we should know how to play them over the ninety minutes".

When asked about the team generally he said, "in the few days I have been here it is difficult to make a full assessment. We think they are good players and we are demanding everything of them. They need to make a big effort because at this level everything is very close and the team can still do well. I need them to give one hundred percent of themselves and I am looking for the best qualities in each player. We can win by playing the best we can. Although I have no ability to say anything to the fans right now if we just show we can make a great effort then I am sure they will be on our side. I want to forget about the five losses because what counts right now is what we do from today onwards”. He also mentioned how he had spent hours this week talking to the players. That he understood how they felt and hoped that things will come together as there is no pre-season for them together.
The game is on Sunday at 5pm in the Heliodoro and
