Mathematically there are still chances and we need to make the most of them. We need to move forward” said Juanlu

Juanlu Hens & Julio Álvarez were the two players who were interviewed this Tuesday in the Heliodoro press room. The CD Tenerife players talked to the journalists who were there about the importance of the game against Villarreal B. Although this is something we have heard all season it is still true.
Juanlu started talking about how sad the loss against Alcorcón last Sunday had left them saying: “The loss has complicated things even more, It was a blow to lose, although the team competed well. It is a pity, a trip up that caused us harm”.
“We know that everything is complicated and we need to win this Saturday. If we get the three points, then this will pressure our rivals. The objective is to think only about Villarreal B. they are a young team who are in a safe area of the table. We need to make them feel that we need the three points. Mathematically there are still chances and we need to make the most of them. We need to move forward”, he added.
The midfielder from Cordoba also said, “no one expected at this stage of the league to be where we are. This has been a really hard year and it's difficult for everyone. Now we shouldn't think about anything but the three points at the weekend”.
On the other hand, Julio Álvarez recognised that “Things are complicated, but we need to try harder. We need to compete the best we can and achieve the win against Villarreal B. In the club we are realistic and the whole thing is complicated. On Saturday we need to add the three points and not look any further”.
“The numbers don't lie and the reality is what it is. We will carry on fighting. This a a delicate moment, but we are looking for the triumph”.
“I came here to help the team, to be one more. That said I am going to help with everything I have and as much as I can”, he then commented that, “ the squad hurts. We know that we haven't done things very well. We have to be strong and not throw in the towel. We are all there ready to fight”.
When asked about the arrival of David Amaral to the training squad, Álvarez commented that “he is trying to help all the players. He knows the club well. Between all of us we need to face the day to day playing the best we can. We have been a few weeks together and everything is going well”.
This will be the first time that Villarreal B have visited the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez.

First win away in Villa real

The team managed a convincing victory in Villa Real against Villarreal B with goals by Nino and Natalio.










CD Tenerife showed their real form this Sunday against Villarreal B in the Mini Estadi (0-2), with goals from Nino & Natalio. The first victory away form home this season. The lads in blue and white have now seen three games without a loss and without receiving a goal. No one has scored against Aragoneses since the Tenerifians visited Cordoba, in October. With these three points, CD Tenerife finally stopped being last and moved up the table to the edge of leaving the relegation positions.
CD Tenerife started strongly and in the second minute, David Prieto shot at goal with a header. The same movement came from the opposition minutes later with a chance from Falqué which went out without much danger. In the following minutes, the opposing team had control of the ball but all the chances were for CD Tenerife. First Natalio shot from a distance and later Mikel Alonso kicked a ball high over the goal inside the area.
The game continued as the ball moved from one end to the other creating danger in both goals The best chance for Villarreal B was by Falqué with a shot inside the area which Marc Bertrán managed to block.
In the following moments control wasn't so clear and CDT managed distant shots by Mikel y Nino, that weren't very dangerous for keeper Mariño. But in minute 44 Nino took advantage of a bad kick by a Villarreal B defender and took the ball into the area and shot into the net.
The second half started in the same style and in minute 49 Marc centred from the right, Nino too control of the ball inside the area, shot and hit the post. After this Villarreal too possession but CDT had several counter attacks and one of these led to two chances one by Nino and one by Natalio but Mariño managed to repel both.
Villarreal B continued to dominate although their attacks were centred from the wings or distant shots at goal that contained no danger for Sergio. The one person who created danger was Mikel Alonso, who took advantage of a pass from Melli to try to slide the ball but it didn't work out.
A little later in minute 75, Nino had a chance, straight in the mouth of the goal but he couldn't manage a second try when the first was repelled. The game went to sleep until in minute 85 Marc Bertrán took the ball to a shot at goal but it wasn't hard enough. A minute later Natalio had the chance to finish the game but again it didn't reac the goal.
But in extra time came the moment for CD Tenerife to make everything clear with a centre from Nino which Natalio made the most of and score to bring the final result to 0-2 and the first away victory of the season.

Beranger comments on the team spirit

The CD Tenerife first team completed the weeks training with a last session this morning, Saturday, in the sports city in Castellon. They started at 11am Canarian time and concluded sixty minutes later.
After individual warm up, there was ball practice, followed by a game in half the field. Finally towards the end of the session, Julio Álvarez had muscle difficulties in his right leg, and couldn't complete the training.

Juanlu & Beranger were the players interviewed this Saturday after the morning training session in Castellon. The two CD Tenerife players both agreed that the game on Sunday against Villarreal B presents itself as a great opportunity for the team to show all the good things they have trained in the last few months.
“We are here with every intention to repeat and improve all the skills we have shown this year. We need to work hard as you always must to win away form home”, Juanlu Hens started to explain.
For the midfielder it is most important “to keep the ball under control as much as possible. This week we have been over this again and again we have trained hard but this has been the most important point”.
About their rival, he pointed out “They are a difficult team to beat and w will need to concentrate. Villarreal B are no easy option. We can make no mistakes. This second team are full of rapid players who know how to apply pressure. In attack they can count on important players. Our defense needs to be really solid”.
When asked about his performance to date, Juanlu has things clear “every player needs to give his all. Personally I feel good, with a desire to help the group”.

For his part, Gregory Beranger considered that “we are on a long path. We are improving, we have improved, above all at home. The next point is to win away and bring back three points to the island”.
“We have done things right and wrong, and we need to work hard to maintain the right line for more minutes. We are growing”, he added when he was asked about his impressions on the teams level to date.
In his personal ability the Frenchman noted that “In the last game I had more work, I suffered more. But the opposition also has a right to play. In a team you need to work together”.
“I fight day by day to reach my best fitness level, although the dynamics of the team doesn't help. Being at the bottom of the table is always hard and you see every mistake. We need time and to work hard to improve”, he explained.
“Our rival doesn't look like a second team. They are a team with expert players. We need to go out and give our all. With luck they will have a bad day and we will gain three points”, he finished.
