CD Tenerife visit Santo Domingo this Sunday, where they meet Alcorcón. For Ricardo León, the match this weekend is the right one to add the three points that would reactivate the team. The local player hopes to bring home some happiness for the fans.
“We need this win like we need to eat. We must get these three points. We are going all out for a win and are sure we have chances” explained Ricardo. “We feel capable. We know that we are in a very complicated situation but under no circumstances will we throw in the towel”, he added.
When asked about the arrival of the new local trainer the midfielder from the north of the island said that “David Amaral is a very demanding trainer. We are working very hard and we need to continue like this to be able to compete in the same way”.
When asked about AD Alcorcon, the next rival, Ricardo León explained, “in their grounds they are tough. I am sure we will be under a lot of pressure and we will need to move the ball quickly and accurately. We are very aware of all that is going on. The most important thing right now is to win”.
“The fans have helped us all season, in spite if the bad results. We hope they keep the faith, as they have to now, We are going to give everything every game to try to get out of this difficult situation”, he concluded.

Iriome Gonzalez would play in CD Tenerife whatever league they are in.

“we need to be conscious of how important this game is. The three points are very important. We can't wait for the rival to come to us because we are playing for our lives. We need to go all out”.
This is how Iriome González started 24 hours before the important game CD Tenerife plays this Sunday against Alcorcón. For the local player the match in Santo Domingo is vital for the team to save themselves in the silver league in Spanish national football.
Iriome warned about the dangers of their rival: “This season has been good for them. At home and in front of their fans, I am sure they will make things difficult for us. We need to play as a team”.
When asked about his options to play even if it is in a different position to the one he played last Saturday, the young man from Icod de los Vinos explained that “I am more comfortable on the wing than in the centre. Against Huesca I tried hard to do things well. I hope I get the chance to play this Sunday. The season has been very complicated for me . I haven't had continuity. I hope to get the chance to play between now and the end of the season” he continued.
“NI have no time to think about the future, although I would be glad to defend the CD Tenerife colours in any league they play in “ he finished.

Carlos Bellvis hopes to have the chance to play again.

Carlos Bellvís was the player interviewed on Friday where he started by stressing the importance of the game on Sunday against Alcorcon. “We are all conscious of the importance of this game and we need to move forward. Winning will make everything seem different”.
“The team knows how important the win would be”, continued the Valencian defender “There is no other option. It will be difficult but we are excited. We know that Alcorcón will make difficulties for us but we will need to take the chances that are presented to us”.
To finish, Bellvís talked about his possible inclusion in the eleven, as occurred last weekend against Huesca. “we are working daily as the coach wants, insisting on various different aspects of the game. Lets see if the trainer wants me to play and I can help the team. We can't fail and we will need to be committed to the game, always with our minds on the game”.

Amaral stated “We need to be brave and try to get to our rivals goal area".

David Amaral in his usual trainers interview on Friday's started by commenting on the state of mind of the players. “The squad is better now, though the loss on Saturday was a blow. We need to look forward as there are few games left”.
When asked about the next rival, the coach form Arico answered that, “Alcorcon is a team who have made the most of their chances. It will surely be a difficult game. They are a team who are sure of their style. They are a tight knit group and they are having a good season”.
When asked if there will be changes in the game plan, Amaral assured that “we need to try other things. We are going to work hard and we need to be careful with counter attacks. Certainly we need to adapt to the game quickly”.
He continued of the same theme saying, “We need to be brave and try to get to our rivals goal area. We can't make the same mistakes that we made against Huesca. W need to do more things better”.
David Amaral, to conclude reminded that “every game there is less time and we need to win game after game but most important we need to stop losing and break the run. We need to hold onto the game and win” he finished.

Second win of the season brings the points to 10

It may not have been an elegant game but three points are three points.

 CD Tenerife managed this Sunday their second victory this season. They beat AD Alcorcon 1-0. The goal was scored by Nino at the start of the second half. This goal serves to bring the team up to nine points. Mandía's group worked hard for this win.

CD Tenerife, in need of the points went out in the only way they could, from the beginning in search of a goal. This aggressive style of play permitted the team to break with the negativity that has hung around them like a cloak and beat AD Alcorcon. Chances were there from the beginning. Nino had a chance after the fifth minute then Ricardo centred a ball which Prieto headed towards the goal in the tenth minute. The players from Madrid also had their chances including a shot by Rubén Sanz, which Melli blocked with his chest (14’).

CD Tenerife, continued to try and were constantly dangerous from midfield towards the goal. Natalio, had a hard shot and the ball hit the post in the twenty sixth minute, in a play that deserved to be a goal. Mandía's boys were working hard. 

After the break, from a corner,  Sergio Mora, managed to find a ball that had escaped Sergio Aragoneses, but that too hit the post. CD Tenerife needed that push and the fans came through with their support the game moved up to a new level. Nino scored with a pass from Ricardo.(52’): 1-0.

Risking everything Juan Antonio Anquela, who didn't want to leave the island with nothing moved from defensive play to attacking in search of a draw. Borjacentred a ball in the area, with his head over Sergio but it hit the post.  CD Tenerife were left defending, trying to stop the visitors from equalizing.

The final minutes were infinite suffering for CD Tenerife. The lads from Madrid tightened their game in search of a goal. Mandía's eleven couldn't find their style of play or a second goal to sentence the game. Finally after tremendous suffering the win was whistled and the three points stayed in Tenerife.
