García Pimienta spoke at the press conference in the Sports City, ahead of the UD Las Palmas vs. FC Barcelona match at the Gran Canaria Stadium tomorrow. The yellow team's coach emphasized the need to "play a perfect match against Barça; we're talking about one of the best teams globally, with a well-defined strategy for many years. Even when they don't perform well as a team, they have individuals who can provide solutions."
Here are some of his statements:
"It's a special match; I've been there for many years. We're preparing for it exactly like any other game. Perhaps we'll have less possession than we'd like, so we have to be brave and take charge. It's all about competing in the match, just as we've always done."
"I want to thank the fans for filling the stadium; Las Palmas deserves to play these kinds of matches, and the team should give its all. Let's see if we can achieve a positive result."
"It's a shame about Pedri's absence; I wish all 25 players in each squad were always available. It's unfortunate that injuries have affected him a lot, but he still has a long way to go. I wish him the best and a speedy recovery to continue enjoying football."
"Moleiro is highly motivated; we didn't expect his recovery to progress so quickly. I dare say he'll be in the squad."
"Fabio is doing almost all the exercises. He's been out for four months, and we won't put pressure on him."
