Interview with coach Calderon aftr the Real Madrid Castilla game

Antonio Calderón was interviewed as always after the game against Real Madrid Castilla. Firstly the CD Tenerife trainer commented that, “I am satisfied, the team once more have shown that they are agressive, organised brave and intense. Remembering that they are a new team, we have taken a step forward against a rival at the highest level who kept their trainer and main block of players from last year”.
He continued on this theme saying, “The sending offs were a pity as they affected the game. We had their attacks under control and were frequently in their area but the final result was a zero zero draw. We are happy with the way they worked”.
The man in charge of the CD Tenerife team continued "you can see that the team are assimilating offensive and defensive concepts. We are still missing speed and that spark but everything will come in time. We didn't have so many shots at goal but generally it was a serious game between two strong teams”.

Meji talks about his hopes for the Trofeo Teide and the league

Meji was the player interviewed in the press room in the Mundialito on Saturday. He started by talking about the Trofeo Teide, which is due to be played on Sunday, against a a rival from our own level (Real Madrid Castilla) and now we will see if we can play a good game”.
'Then we will have the classic games against Las Palmas', he continued, 'these are also important matches, but I don't want to look further than the final of the Trofeo Teide. We want to show how we can play', he added.
'It will be a good test although it is still a preseason game. We are a new squad and we need to keep trying things´underlined Meji about the game against Real Madrid Castilla.
Also, He commented on the outlook that they need to have for the upcoming season. “We need to stay simple and have our feet on the ground. This is two B and is hard. We need to form a good base to achieve our aims”.
To finish the blue and white footballer pointed out that the support of the fans was important, 'If we can combine good results from the beginning of the season, I am sure the fans will get behind us”.

Calderon talks after loss against CD Marino

Antonio Calderón was interviewed after the game against CD Marino. The CD Tenerife coach commented on the team, “They worked well. There are things that need to be improved and because of this we have the loss but we controlled our rival and they did a good job. We tried various things. Physically they are in good condition and there technical tactics are improving”.
The trainer from Cadiz talked about the match, “They scored from a still ball. We didn't defend the corner well and they scored. The 1-0 could have been avoided. That said the team fought hard, looked for the equaliser, achieved this and I feel a second goal would have been fair but it wasn't to be”.
On this vein Calderon continued. “I can see that the team wants to win, they tried to dominate the rival, they were brave, daring and we need to insist on this. Now we need to correct our errors but we had chances to score. Now we need to correct the mistakes, but we have had clear chances to score and importantly that those chances were generated“.
Concerning the performance of Álvaro Zazo and David Medina, the coach from Andalusia pointed out that “they are players who have arrived later. In a new team we need to integrate them as soon as possible. The minutes that they played were good for them and for the team”.
Lastly he was asked about the signings that are not finalised, Antonio Calderon admitted that “We are missing a minimum of three players still. They are working on this and these games are good to know exactly what positions we need to sign players for. We have this mostly clear and we hope to find what we are missing for the team”, he finished.

On the positive side Melli has left the team, he hasn't signed for anyone else but has terminated his contract with the club.

Pedro Cordero at the presentation of David Medina

Pedro Cordero was there today for the presentation of new player David Medina who joined the team last week. After the medical he rushed to La Palma to take part in the team concentration there. He was presented in the Heliodoro press room today.
David talked about his decision to play for CD Tenerife and how although he had offers for other teams in the higher division and abroad finally he decided to come to Tenerife saying: “I am excited to be here and await the start of the season. It wasn't an easy decision as I had other offers but finally the interest CD Tenerife showed was what made me come here. It is also a big club with a great history and I am happy to play here”.
After the presentation Pedro Cordero was asked some questions and when asked about David Medina said “ he is an experienced player at this level and is convinced by the project we are preparing”. He continued, “it was not easy to persuade him to come as he had other offers but I am sure he will contribute balance and experience to the team”.
The sports director from Murcia then covered the most recent CD Tenerife news saying that,”Some of the players who are in the ERE might end up playing for us. The squad is not complete but we are now all rowing in the same direction so we can solve this problem”.
Cordero, also made reference to local Omar Ramos saying that “he is a player who is important for CD Tenerife and he may well be important on our path out of 2B”.
 
CD Tenerife, since they have returned from Barlovento, are not complete as a squad for 11/12 Cordero himself said, “some other players may arrive to reinforce the mid-field but we also have chances with the youth teams. Ayoze & Abel are playing well and we are all pleased with them”.
 
When asked about Zazo the most recent signing, who has still to pass his medical. Pedro Cordero said, “Zazo can play high balls very well and his is good in midfield”.
Finally he commented that the management were happy with the work realised till now and “we will try from the beginning to be at the top of the table in the league”

Don't forget that the next friendly game is in the south against CD Marino in the Los Cristianos stadium at 8.30pm on Wednesday.
