Seasons statistics

At the end of the season looking back here are some of the good points about the year with some of the players figures for their time in the first division.








This season is now finished and here are some of the good aspects of the season both for CD Tenerife and for the players. The first figure for the team is that the result for the end of play most frequent was 1-1. This occurred in 45 occasions. In the whole league the Tenerife team were awarded 4 penalties, two of these were converted into goals and two missed. Against CD Tenerife there were 5 penalties which were all converted into goals. The blue and white team were the team with most passes into the goal area (1,202), followed by Osasuna and Sevilla respectively.

Nino was the third highest national goal scorer equally with Llorente they scored 14 goals, (only Villa had more.)  He scored 11 with his right foot and three with headers. The CD Tenerife forward was the field player who played the most minutes with a total of 3,360 minutes played ( the whole league with the exception of 60 minutes in round 36 the Barcelona-CD Tenerife game.) This was followed by Capdevilla (Villarreal CF) who was missing 109 minutes and Iraola (Ath. Bilbao) with 141 minutes.

Other interesting information about Angel who played 24 games and in all he started on the bench. He was the substitute who played in most games (24) followed by Antoñito (Xerez 23), Raúl (R. Madrid 22) and Dinei who also played in 22 games as sub and one he started.

Finally as players substituted Aranda (Osasuna) was changed 24 times, De La Cuevas (S. Gijón 22) and JuanLu 21 times.

When numbers are counted then keeper Sergio Aragoneses should be included. He was the only player in CD Tenerife who played the full 38 rounds accumulating a total of 3.420 oficial minutes.

Interview with Sergio Aragoneses

From the club website.

Sergio Aragoneses is one of the most senior voices representing the present CD Tenerife team. A player with more time than most involved with the club, a goal keeper with great experience in the first and second division. His thoughts are interesting.

¿How do you feel? “We are now motivated to start the new season with the idea to gain the position for ascending to the first division.”. ¿Should you look forward instead of looking back and thinking what might of been? “Without a doubt. It is clear what happened. There is no way back and now we need to think of the future, to aim high, give our all and start for zero with maximum enthusiasm”. ¿Did the support of the fans help you overcome these bad moments? “Yes. It is important to feel the backing of the fans. Their support the whole season and the hope we can continue to feel this in the coming year”. Santiago Llorente is now building a new team. ¿Are you confident it sill be a winning project? “This is what we hope. This is the idea, to make an ambitious project, aiming high in the second division. I believe it will all come out well and who ever comes will feel comfortable in the team to be able to fight for our objectives”. ¿The next goal, in fact, should be going back to Primera? “Yes, thats clear. CD Tenerife needs to return to the place it deserves. We hope to build a good squad and we aspire next year to go up to the first division.”. ¿What would you say to the blue and white fans right now.? “There is not much to say. They have no responsibility, they were the whole year with us, supporting us. I want to say thanks for this support and I ask that they will be here next season, because their support is a plus and they are really important for the team to achieve their goals.”.

Kome back but injured

Kome was back at training yesterday but has an injured leg muscle and it is questionable if he will play on Saturday.

There were more than 200 people waiting to buy seats for Saturdays game this morning in Santa Cruz. The game is expected to sell out.

In interviews yesterday in the press room at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium Carlos Bellvis stated "I can see a very competitive team and we are capable of staying up. The fans always help us. On Saturday I hope the Helidoro will be full and am sure the fans will be ther to support us on hundred percent". When asked abou Sevilla Bellvis commented that they were a great team with many great players especially their forwards. "We know that a simple error could cost us the game. So we will need to be very concentrated from the first minute onwards."

Sergio Aragoneses started his interview by commenting that they were talking about a very complicated rival, a team that in the last few years has always been in European competitions. "That said," he continued "it is a game that anyone could win. We need to make the most of our chances as they present themselves. We need to go all out to win because the best would be if those three points stay here at home." To conclude he confirmed that the support of the fans will be very very necessary.


Miguel Concepción again affirmed that nothing had been discussed about paying the players an extra payment if they stayed in the first division. He said the players hadn't asked for anything all they need is to go out and win the 45 points the club needed to stay up.

Big game tonight

Tonights game starts at 8pm our time. The gates are opening at 6.30pm so everyone can get to the stadium and those of us who finish work earlier can get in earlier leaving time and space for those people who don't finish work until just before the game. Hopefully on the San Sebastian side they will have all the gates open and everyone will get to see the start of the game.
CD. I know there are season ticket holders who can't make it who have passed their cards to others so the stadium should be fairly full.
Tenerife trainer Jose Luis Oltra said yesterday in an interview that the team needs the fans tonight so I hope everyone who can will be going.
He started the interview saying "I am convinced we are going to win I have total confidence in the team. The home ground is an important factor, also the fans and we need to show that in Tenerife it is not easy to win this season." He stated that he didn't see Atletic Bilbao as a trial by fire, The players are just starting at this level and it takes time. Then he commented that he was sure they would win this game "but if not we will try for the next one" easing the pressure off the players. " The loss in the Ono Stadium was an accident and you shouldn't worry too much about it. He finished with the saying "Always try to remember, we were not so fantastic before neither are we so bad now. You need to stay calm as the season is complicated and long."

The team from Athletic de Bilbao arrived on the Island yesterday afternoon at 19.15 and are leaving on Thursday morning. They are staying in the Iberostar Hotel Mencey in Santa Cruz during their stay.



Aitor Núñez y Sergio Aragoneses were the players interviewed on Monday afternoon in the press room of the Mundialito stadium.
The defender Aitor Núñez said "We have our heads well screwed on for this game. Coming from a bad game like the Mallorca one we need to correct things so we don't make the same mistakes in the future". He followed by saying “When you don't play you have to wait but at no time have I lost the illusion to play. Every day that passes I see that I play better and am adapted to the style of play the team plays. When it was his turn to talk, Aragoneses explained in front of the journalists present that “we are looking forward to Wednesday and expect to have a good result. Our rival is a team with many class players, and because of that e need to try harder”. He continued “I don't think last weekends loss was due to euphoria or over clever attitude, as all we are looking for this year is to stay up.”

Tickets for the Madrid game can be picked up today if you have ordered them until 1pm. They are for the 4th level of the stadium which corresponds to the price Madrid are charging for on their website.
