The YOU decided to stop being Las Palmas on the worst day he could choose. The one with the derby The one of pride for the Canary Islands. And that, with the emotional aggravation that it supposes for the thousands of followers of the yellow team who traveled to the neighboring island and had to see how four blows to their hearts fit, does not allow it. Garcia Pepperwho wanted to calm the waters with the Yellow Tide and at the same time sends a positive message. “I apologize to the fans on behalf of the entire squad, but we are not going to throw away the previous 31 games”remarks the Catalan to try to make a clean slate for the ten days that remain for the conclusion of the season.
No half measures. “the Tenerife it was better, more intense with the ball and we didn’t. They had the great fortune to arrive in the first two and put them in. They have won that second action and when we had the ball we were not participatory”, the UD coach’s reflection on the game did not hide any excuse for the superiority of the blue and white team in all registers, emphasizing the areas in which Ramis detected The weaknesses of the yellow squad: “They were intense running behind us. But I also agree that on the offensive level we were not good, if we had been accurate we would have stopped the opposing team at least”reflected the Barcelonan.
Likewise, in this line of not hiding the deficiencies of Las Palmas in the Heliodoro, Pimienta admitted that “the team has lost its identity” on the green of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while highlighting: “It is the only party of the season in which it has not been us”at the same time that he linked it with a reflection on all the previous work: “That’s why we are where we are. I believe in this team and I am convinced that next week we are going to give these fans a victory.”
Asked if the team is suffering a physical downturn, one of the issues in which Tete passed over UD, García Pimienta did not buy the idea. “I don’t think we are worse than in the whole season, I put aside this game (the one against Tenerife). In the other matches when we played against ten, I can say that we should have done more, but at least the team has been recognizable, like against Málaga, when the team’s identity was never lost”, the strategist stressed.
At the same time, he ruled out that the yellow team has melted batteries. “Certainly not”. “At the level of play it can be improved. This team has earned that all the rivals respect them a lot. Everyone has seen Las Palmas and they know how they have to compete,” added the Catalan, who took the opportunity to make it clear that he is going to continue with the same philosophy: “If for one or two games we have to change everything, I refuse to think this”.
Regarding the intention of changing Mfulu, Loiodice and Loren after the break, Pimienta threw for a politically correct reflection. “If I know that after ten minutes we were 2-0, surely I would make another line-up. I’m not going to point to Nuke and I’m not going to say it’s a matter of freshness.”the coach referred to without wanting to blame these three players: It was a matter of the whole, not of a specific player, otherwise he would have had to change the entire team.”
Of course, of this trio, he did leave a small note about lorenwho arrived with great expectations in the winter market accompanied by goals and who is now going through a gray stage in front of goal: “Much more is expected of him than of any of his teammates”indicated the person in charge of the insular staff.
