“We need to aspire to be better than Rayo for 90 minutes"


Luis García & Julio Álvarez were the two players interviewed in the press room of the Heliodoro Rodríguez López after almost two hours of training.
The keeper from Toledo, talked first about the situation of the team. “This victory after the draw against Girona, have served to help the group. We have seen that we can move forwards and win games and now we know we need to keep doing the same to win more games. With our weapons and more so in the Heliodoro we can win against any rival. Rayo is top of the table by their own merits but here they will find winning hard”.
In reference to the support given by the blue and white fans during the whole season, Luis García commented that “We come out of the field to play for the whole island but especially the fans who are there, fans who have never failed us and who always support us to the maximum. It is true the Tenerife fans are the player number 12”.
When asked about the style of the team, the CD Tenerife keeper said “we have tried to play good football and win through possession of the ball. We are now a little better and we need to keep improving. We need to add points in threes. I am sure we will save the team and next year we will be in Segunda again”.
About how he rated his chances to start with the team against Rayo Vallecano, the player number ‘1’ responded “I have trained my best all week as I always do. The coach didn't talk to me but I have worked hard to have a chance. If the Mister gives me a chance to play I will try to do the very best I can. The most important is the group whoever plays”.
Following this thought Luis García finished by stating “Things can always be improved. In Salamanca, we defended well during all the plays with a still ball except the one where they scored and in general lines we weren't bad”.
Julio Álvarez, for himself, started talking about the next game. “We need to aspire to be better than Rayo for 90 minutes,and we have our fans here to support us. We are in one of our best moments and there is no margin for mistakes. We need to stay calm, game by game and hold onto the the good things we do”.
The Spanish Venezuelan play talked to about the home advantage. “Here, in the Heliodoro, there is always atmosphere. Playing at home is a privilege. We can't accept a draw. The team has the capacity to beat our next rival. They know that here it is going to be difficult”.
When asked about how it feels to play against an ex team Álvarez commented “It is always special and exciting to play against a previous team. I have good memories from being there. I hope they achieve their aims but after Sunday when CD Tenerife wins”.
To finish the number “20” for CD Tenerife confessed that right now “my objective is to collaborate, I like to take part in the game. The ball itself is important. We all need right now to add our grain of sand” he finished.
