Diego Martínez: "We have the chance to close the first half of the season with 25 points, and that should motivate all of us"

Speaking on Friday at the press room of the Estadio Gran Canaria, Martínez analyzed Sunday’s match against Getafe CF. "Getafe is a very intense team, with a clear approach to their matches and high-quality players. They have a solid defense and a consistent playing style. We know they perform well away from home and are highly competitive," he noted.

Here are some of his key statements:

"There are two training sessions left. Viti is still in his recovery process, as is Campaña. We’ll assess the rest of the squad."

"A defeat hurts everyone. We had a bad game, but we’ve moved on. Managing the emotional aftermath means not getting too low or too high. From there, we analyze, observe, and correct."

"Weeks when you win are much more enjoyable. Every team needs to go through adversity, and the outcome is to keep improving, working hard, and believing in ourselves."

"Bordalás is a coach with a great track record. It’s a privilege to face managers like him. This will be a very tough game, regardless of what happened in our previous match."

"We have the opportunity to finish the first half of the season with 25 points, and that should motivate all of us. On Sunday, there are three points at stake that are very exciting."

"There’s one clear issue: the rules need to be the same for everyone. The club and the president have been very clear on the matter, and there’s nothing more to add."

"Getafe is a team that concedes few goals and consistently performs well beyond their results. It will be a very complex match. We must never forget where we come from or who we are. We need to give our all, but sometimes intention alone isn’t enough; the outcome depends on many factors."
