Natalio hope for a win in Los Carmenes

Josmar Zambrano was the player chosen to talk to the press on Monday, he admitted that, “We are all having a bad time. Every time it is more difficult but mathematically everything isn't lost. We need to keep fighting to see if we can fix this. Whilst there are options, we need to keep fighting to get out of this”.
In reference to how the team will play the next game the Venezuelan player assured that, “Granada are fighting to be at the top of the table but we need to think of ourselves. We have to go out on the field and fight for the three points2.
To finish, Zambrano stated that he couldn't think about himself, “The most important thing is the team, the situation we are in. In my case I am seeing chances to play and I know I need to make the most of them”.
Natalio Lorenzo was also interviewed in the press room in the Heliodoro, where he started talking about the game last weekend. “The coach gave me some chance to play but everything ended sadly as the team lost. We suffered another painful loss”.
Although there are many points to the salvation zone the Valencian player pointed out that “we are fighting to the end. We need to defend the badge, the colours whilst there are options to compete. The team feels the loss . We need to try hard to get out of here. We go out to win, to win the games, but the results don't come”, he added.
The blue and white ‘11’, in the same theme, confessed that “we want to make the fans happy and it doesn't come. We need to try to play more naturally and fight for the chances that are left to remain in the division”.
Lastly, Natalio hoped for a win in Los Cármenes. “We are still working daily and we hope to win in Granada. I want to help and the only thing that is interesting is to add the three points that would be a win. I hope some day that football will give us back the things it has taken” he finished.

"Although it is always good to play old clubs........" Natalio talks to the press.

Juanlu may be from Cordoba but right now his heart is in Tenerife. This Saturday when the green and white team visit the Heliodoro, there will be not time to be sentimental. The midfielder was interviewed on Thursday and stated that, “It is a vital game, really important, we need to concentrate on Córdoba. The three points need to stay here”.
In the press room in the El Mundialito, after training Thursday. When asked if he thinks he will play on Saturday, Juanlu explained, “we are all working to help the team and then the coach will decide. We are ready and need to work well”.
“It will be a different game to the one in the first round. Above all because we are playing in the Heliodoro. That makes it special and important for the team. We really need those points”, said Juanlu.
Natalio was also at the interview and he agreed will his colleague stating “We can't fail. We are playing hard and these will be three important points. We need to be strong at home. The team is well and we haven't been lucky in the last few games. But we know we can achieve better results”.
“It is always great to play against teams you have played for before but we are playing for everything and we will go out very motivated” concluded the forward.

In this form the Valencian footballer stated that “The game this Friday is important as winning it will allow us to get out of relegation. We have to be strong at home. We are anxiously waiting this game”.
Lastly, Natalio repeated that “We are on a good run and in the Heliodoro it is primordial that we don't let any points escape. Every game is individual. Xerez is a strong team with experienced players”,he added.

When asked about the importance of the next league game, The mid fielder from Catalonia reminded that “we are in a delicate situation and we need to win to move out of relegation.

Interviews after the win against Rayo Vallecano

Ezequiel Luna, Antonio Hidalgo & Natalio Lorenzo were the three players from CD Tenerife who passed through the press area on Sunday after the end of the game against Rayo. The blue and white players showed their happiness after the win against the leader of the Liga Adelante.




Luna: “I am happy that we won and above all for a win at home. This second win helps our confidence. Now we need to get back to work for the next game to continue to add points. The team is moving up and this is what we want to do. The group is different now, we see things better. But we still haven't achieved anything we need to continue to fight to move out of relegation. I didn't watch the referee so I can't comment on his calls. But everyone can make mistakes, we are all human after all. As each game passes we feel better. The shame was the goal at the end of the game as we worked very hard not to let in any goals. The fans were a great help today and we thank them”.
Antonio: “The team gets better day by day and this is the line we need to follow. We look more compact right now more like a team. The fans helped us considerably in what was a difficult game. We still have a lot of work to do. Last week the coach tried me in the position Kitoko played at the weekend. He has shown a great deal of confidence in me and I want to thank him for that. Tapia is slowly showing us how we need to play and the results are a confirmation we are doing well. The players have stepped up to the line. When you take a penalty you can have no doubts and this is why I scored twice”.
Natalio: “We know that without working 100% there will be no three points. The trainer talked frequently about the match during the week and the team worked hard to be here. The referee was rigorous, some things were in our favor and some things were not. I am still waiting to score that little goal but I am sure it will come. As we have better results our confidence grows. We were under a lot of pressure but now we are calmer and more relaxed. We are going from less to more but we can't stop now. We need to be ambitious and look up the table”

Then coach Antonio Tapia talked saying “We knew that this would be a hard fought game. We were playing a rival who is on form and leader in the competition. The only way to finish victorious was not to let our guard down. We needed to be good in defence and attack. We should make the most of our chances as we did today. The fans took us with them, their support carried us. Now we have a week in front of us to improve things that can be improved”.
This is how Antonio Tapia commented on the game CD Tenerife won against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday Morning in the Heliodoro. The blue and white trainer emphasised the effort made by the players to beat the leader. The Andalucian coach showed his satisfaction for the result during the press conference which was held after the game during which he made several pointed remarks.
About the refereeing of Pino Zamorano he didn't want to comments much saying “About the referees normally I don't make statements as their job is very hard”. Tapia turned the question around and talked again about his players in the following terms: “The game today was hard fought. We had the chances to win and made the most of them we also managed to neutralise our opponents chances. This was an important victory, against a great rival who is playing well and who has great figures for away wins. This wasn't easy and for this we need to thanks the squad and the fans. On Saturday, in Vigo, we have another complicated game but we need to continue to be humble”.
When asked about the changes in the first eleven, Tapia made clear that, “we will start the players we think will be right for each game. At the end we won this victory. We need to praise those who played and those who didn't as they are all important. We know that still we haven't achieved anything. These were three important points, but there is still a long way to go in the league. We need to remember that our aim is to move out of the relegation zone”.
Antonio Tapia was also questioned about the players he changed and he explained that “we made changes due to the cards given and the needs of the match. Dubarbier was still fit and helping the defence. Sometimes you have to take chances”.
Antonio Tapia then talked about the rival “Rayo also made chances but we neutralised them. This is how our rival only scored one goal. We can't play that our rivals don't score. It isn't the best option for us. Our plan, except at the end when Melli came on is to play the ball, not to close down and play on the other side. We did serious damage with counter attacks”.
“We need to enjoy this victory and disconnect a little. We are still missing rounds to see how the team works out, but I can see we are growing. Today this was clear. We came out of this game positively. This week we will continue ridding ourselves of the heavy weight which is holding us back”, he added.
“We need tot to be euphoric as we have a team with capacity. We need to get out from under with a level of play that permits us efficiency. The idea is to be solid, tight in defence and know how to control specific situations. This Sunday we knew how to control the game against a rival who was more together than we are”, he concluded.

“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.

Natalio and Melli talk about their hopes for the next game against Rayo.

Natalio Lorenzo talked to the media on Wednesday after training in the El Mundialito grounds. The blue and white forward commented that “when the team wins you notice the difference. The great taste the win in Salamanca left us with came just at the right time. The group played a great game and things went our way. I personally was able to help the group as best I could”.
The CD Tenerife player is pushing to “carry on working hard whoever gets to start in the first eleven. This is the best moment to play against the leader. This is an important test and if we win we will be really positive. I know it is difficult but with the help of the fans anything is possible. They way they support us us admirable”.
Natalio, continued analysing the next match and said that, “in any game in the second division either team can win. At home we need to be strong and not let points escape. We need to go out on the field motivated, with confidence to make it clear to Rayo that it is going to cost them dearly if they want to win here. With the help of our fans we can win”.

For Melli who was also interviewed on Wednesday the most important factor was consistency, “we have been six games without a loss and you can see the improvement”. The blue and white defender said he is available “to help the team and if the coach asks I can play as defensive midfielder. What ever happens I hope to play the best I can and help the team”.

The player also talked about the the next rival for Sunday's game: “They are a good team, but we are going to make things difficult for them. We are working well and lets see if we can manage to move out of the position as soon as possible. There is more competition for every position and between us all we can move forward”.

Players comments during the first week of the year.

There were various player interviews this week and I have put them into this post. On Wednesday David Prieto and Marc were interviewed.

David Prieto is confident that the team will triumph again on Sunday against Albacete Balompié. The central defender for CD Tenerife admitted that “the point we added away from home really counts for us because we managed to draw on two occasions coming back each time. Now we are only thinking about adding the three points at home”.
The blue and white player told that he feels better now after the knock that he received in Real Valladolid “I have some pains in my neck, but nothing more”. This way the island player stated that “in the Heliodoro we want to be strong and achieve triumphs. We know how important it is to win this Sunday. From there we will be able to concentrate and making January a good month”.

David Prieto reminded that “the important game is Albacete, amongst other reasons because it is the next game we play. We need to achieve this victory to make us strong. The way things are, every game is vital. We need to make the point against Valladolid count”.

For his part, Marc Bertrán who also attended the press conference hoped, “to be fit to play this weekend, I feel well and am happy. Last Sunday the team was good and played well. We need to take forward the positive factors from that game”.

Now, the blue and white defender hopes “this will be a new year in all senses. Lets see if the team can move up and recover confidence. At home, with our fans, we need to be strong and play as a competitive team. That's how we can get out from under.”.

Bertrán admitted that “we are concentrated on the weekend and the only thin that is important is Albacete. These are three vital points and right now all I can think about is the situation the group finds itself in, in how to help CD Tenerife leave the relegation zone. The team needs everyone to move forwards”.
He was then asked if he could see himself leaving to which he replied that anything was possible. The following day he rectified this statement saying he thought the question meant in June not in the winter. He confirmed again that he was very committed to the team and really wanted to help them. He then assured the press that he would not be leaving in January.

Wednesday afternnon after training Dani Kome, Natalio, Julio Álvarez, Iriome, Carlos Bellvís, Mikel Alonso & Luis García went to the university hospital to visit children who were staying in the hospital over the holidays.

Also on Thursday, Natalio Lorenzo & Mikel Alonso were the duo who met the press, in the HRL after the training session there.
Natalio started saying, “To get this month on the right track we need to win the next game, this is important”. He followed by saying that “ the fans are really loyal to the team and it is normal that they are fed up with the results. This Sunday, everyone together we will win. The Heliodoro needs to be a fortress”.
Natalio Lorenzo noted that the rival this weekend is “Albacete, they are reinforcing their team so it will be hard. There are three important points in play.
We all know the situation, and we need to meet this situation bravely. We play at home, in the Heliodoro, with all our people and we can show everyone positive moves”.
“The coach is very demanding will each and every one of us. I am trying to bring the best of me to every session and game”, he concluded.
On his side, Mikel Alonso also talked about the unbelievable importance of the game this Sunday against Albacete: “we need the points and more so at home. This could be a good game and e are all keen to bring home the three points. Last Sunday, the team showed they could react. We showed we could play well and that point counts high”.
When asked about the next rival the basque midfielder pointed out that “Albacete right now are direct rivals and we need to beat them to move up”.
“The changing room is in form. But this is a difficult season. We know we need triumphs”. When asked about his future on the island, Alonso only commented that “ I am centered on the club and the tam this isn't the moment to talk about individuals”.

The club also released an in depth interview with Sergio Aragoneses who came to the club the first time in September 2000. His first game then was against Albacete. This Sunday will be the 150th league game he has played for the club. “I always looked up to Luis Miguel Arconada” stated the keeper. “He was a reference for my generation, in Spanish football he was a keeper who marked an era”.

-¿Was CD Tenerife the team who most signified for you as a player?
“The truth is yes. This is the club who gave me the chance to play in the first and second divisions. I am proud to say I play for them and will always be grateful to CDT for these chances”.
-¿Where do you think you would have gone if you hadn't come to play for the blanquiazul in 2000?
“I had some offers but it was here that called me most. especially with the players who were here. I bet that Tenerife was the right choice and I think I made the right decision”.
-¿How could teams like Deportivo, Celta or even at that time teams like Compostela, let a keeper of your qualities go?
“Life is like that. They saw that a prophet is never appreciated in his home town. It is true that I would have loved to play for one of the teams in my region but things didn't work out that way. I am grateful to the teams I had the chance to play for”.
-This Sunday will be the game number 150 in league games you have played for Tenerife?
“ For any player 150 games is an important number of games to have played in one club. To have worn the Tenerife colours all these years and in so many games is wonderful and I hope to keep doing so”.
-¿How do you see the team?
“The group seem calm. Still, we need to be conscious of the situation we find ourselves in and we all take part in this worry. We need to go out to every game as if it is a authentic final to try to achieve the three points each round. The most important objective right now is to save the team. For this we need a lot of points. We need to start now, this Sunday, to aspire to stop being last”.
-Next month you will be 34 and you seem fit enough top go on playing for a while
“I hope so. I find I am well both physically and mentally. I still have the same hopes and dreams as when I started and no one can take them away”.
-¿Can you see yourself any where else in another team who aren't Tenerife?
“Right now I see myself here. I am very comfortable here both professionally and personally. It is the club who found me and bought me her to the island, I feel like another Tenerifian”.
-If anything with the passing of time the fans seem to esteem you more and more......
“Trust develops little by little. In my case, I had two stages in Tenerife which were completely different. This is one of the reasons I am proud of the support of the fans”.
-¿Any message for the Tenerife fan base?
“To the fans I can only ask that they maintain the support we have seen for the last three years. They are especially good and this will help us move out from the bottom of the table”.

"We need to be the best we can" states Natalio.

The first team returned to training this morning, Wednesday after enjoying Tuesday off. The session took place in the Mundialito training grounds and lasted one hour and 45 minutes.
The session started with warm-up after which there was phyisical work outs with practise in possession and pressure. Then a game in the complete field with until the end of the session.

The first team will train again on Thursday at 10.00 in the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadiums.
Melli & Natalio were the players who attended the press in the communication room in the El Mundialito grounds.
The player from Andalucia, spoke first and reminded that “Our last game was a loss and we now need a win and the three points that go with this. Betis has shown up to now that they are the best team in the league although we expect to win”.
About the last loss, Melli confessed that “we have had some really bad days but there is nothing left but to forget what happend in Huelva and concentrate on Betis. We made mistakes and we could go on wallowing in pity. Instead we are going to do things better and compete at our best. Here we have played games at a good level and if we manage that we can achieve the results we need”.
In reference to the fact he is about to play against his old team, the ‘18’ stated that “for me it will be a special game against a rival who has scored lots of goals, who knows how to make the most of their chances and whose attacks can cause serious damage. But that can be done by any team in this category, they too can lose. We need to make the most of our good points and only concentrate on winning”.
Melli, again, sent a message to the blue and white fans. “The fans have always helped us, especially when times were difficult. We need your help and lets see if together we can achieve a win”.
Lastly the central defender from Cadiz commented on the squad “There is a lot of comitment here and we work with great aims. Little by little we are growing. We kneo that last weekend it was not a good show but with work we will move forward”.

Natalio, for his part, started by mentioning his punishment. “It seemed endless. I am really looking forward to being able to play again and trying to help the team. We need the three points”.
When asked about how he though CD Tenerife should play against the leader, the forward from Valencia remarked that “we have to leave behind the Huelva game as soon as possible. We need to compete at our best. We are really sorry for what happened against Huelva and now we have the top team and we can't let this win escape us”.
To conclude, Natalio admitted that “the situation is delicate and we need to give our all on the field. We need to play one hundred percent. In the end we need to be a competitive team who is concious of the situation it finds itself”, he finished.

Mandia concludes the team has worked hard enough to win.

Juan Carlos Mandía offered his regular Friday press conference, in which he talked about the physical problems being suffer by some of the players. “There are players with some problems and we can't take any risks. We will wait until the end to see which players are fit to play on Sunday”.
When asked about the youth player Jorge who has been called up to travel to Huelva with the team the trainer from Galicia stated that he is doing a good job in the second team and appears to be an interesting player. He is very young and has great chances to be a good player. We are close to the other teams and the players need to know this”.
When asked about Sundays match, Mandía confessed “we have twice the need to compete. If we play as well as we have trained in the last few days there will be chances to win the game. We had two very hard sessions, Sunday and Monday. The weeks work has been very good and the players are full of a need to win the next game”.
The trainer from Lugo analysed the type of game awaiting the players in Nuevo Colombino. “The rival is good, but we are good too. When I see my players it gives me the confidence to go all out for this game. It seems to me that this will be a good match, well disputed and both sides are going to go full out to win”.
In reference to the inability of Natalio y Ricardo to play, the head coach for CD Tenerife pointed out that “We only think about those player who can play. Of course it is an added difficulty when there are players who are being punished for accumulation of yellow cards or with physical difficulties but as I said from the work they have done this week I can see they really want to get ahead”.
Lastly, Juan Carlos Mandía spoke of the situation surrounding Julio Álvarez, a query for his physical difficulties. “Julio really want to help the team. The situation is how it is and between us all we need to move forwards,” he concluded.

Marc Bertrán, sixth player unable to play in the game against Granada.

Translated from Marca.es

Marc Bertrán, with acute tonsillitis is the sixth player not available for the game on Sunday in the Rodríguez López against Granada, a game that the team hope will help them finally abandon the relegation positions.
As well as the Catalan, both Ricardo & Natalio can't play for accumulation of yellow cards, whilst Julio Álvarez still has difficulties with his right adductor , Carlos Bellvís still hasn't recovered from a stretched ligament and Omar Ramos is a query as he has problems with his left hamstrings.
At the end of the training session on Thursday, basque mid fielder Mikel Alonso, in declarations to the press, recognised that Sunday, against Granada, will be a difficult game to achieve the third victory in a row.
"It will be hard, not including that we have won the last two games , they are a complicated rival who today are above us in the table added to that their players are strong and solid, so if we want to win we will have to tighten our game and play well”. He added, “The things are improving and that way results will come but we still need more points to step away from the relegation positions where we are right now. And for that we need to be solid on the field, work to score and do everything right. That way we will be on the way to win more games” he assured.

Natalio: “If they don't score we have chance to gain three more points”

Natalio & Ricardo were the two players in the press room this Thursday. Both agreed that they were confident that the team could win ad gain the three points in play next Sunday against Villarreal B.

We if we don't let in any goals we will have chances to bring home the three points. We continue to create chances and the goals are going to come”.

 

From Ricardo León, was the hope that “we need to make good on the last triumph with another win. It will be a difficult game but we are confident.

During the game we need to forget about the table and just play”.

Wednesday interview with Juanlu and Kome

Juanlu Hens & Dani Kome were the two players in the press room on Wednesday in the press room in the Mundialito training ground. The midfielder from Cordoba was first, he started talking about the triumph against Elche last Sunday. “We needed the three points and achieving them is the prize for all the work we are doing”.

He followed this statement with these words, “It was a game we really had to fight to win and now we have to carry on. The intensity we had during the game is how to play well and in games makes you opponents really uncomfortable. Now the moment is here for us to play in a clearer style”.

When asked about Natalio’s goals which came from a pass Juanlu provided he said, “If you can score goals or assist in making them then all the better. Last Sunday’s game has left me in a very positive frame of mind”.

Dani Kome, for his part, started talking about how the group feels. “We are very happy. This win came at the right time, but now we are only thinking about the next game. The most important thing is to win again. We need more points to move up the table. Then with the players we have our style of play will show”.

The midfield from Cameroon, also confessed that the win against Elche had renewed his confidence. “We need a run of wins, when you win everything looks better. We have more confidence and not only did we win but we didn’t receive any goals”.

Kome finished by saying thanks to the fans, “We are at the bottom of the table and in spite of this still 16,000 people came to the stadium for every game. We need to thanks the fans form our hearts and reward them with victories”.

Rumor says the Formula Uno may be shown in the stadium on Sunday. The Cabildo are aparently looking into if it is possible.

First win of the season CDT 1 - Elche 0 Game notes

How to bring over how I feel. The first real win in 6 months. A goal at our end to add to our happiness. Often the goals come in the second half  and CD Tenerife by choice plays to the Popular end. For what ever reason yesterday that wasn't to be and this was lovely for the fans from the Herradura end. The players went wild and celebrated the goal. Careful playing followed for the last 10 minutes and a win was finally ours.

Presentation game results in a win

A good result for the team against Mallorca who were fifth in the first division last year. The 2-0 win with goals by new player Natalio and fans favourite Nino led the team to a victory. The first in the last five games. Pre-season is always full of ups and downs but the supporters left the stadium happy last night with a good feeling for the up coming league which starts away next Saturday in Montilivi, Girona. A stadium which will be in the hearts of many as the place where CD Tenerife went up to the first division two year ago.
