García Pimienta spoke to the media in the press room after the match against Cádiz CF at Gran Canaria. The yellow coach mentioned regarding the draw, 'It might seem like you've lost two points, but today wasn't our best game. We started with good play and considerable dominance, but there were moments in the first half where we lost control, and the second half was very open. They caught us on the counter a few times. Today it was important not to lose, and I can't say anything to the guys.'

Some of his statements:

'There were moments in the first half where we lost control, they had chances, and today we weren't good. It's also important on days when you're not doing well, like today, not to lose.'

'I don't think Moleiro will be available for Bilbao. Tests are being done, but it's very unlikely he'll be ready for Bilbao. Hopefully, it's as short as possible, but for sure, I haven't talked to the doctor yet, but surely, he won't be available for Bilbao.'

'We need to be more aggressive in our attacks, but if you lose the ball, Cádiz CF always left two players upfront. You can't tell the players not to attack, but there were moments when we lost control, and that's why Cádiz CF equalized.'

'Álvaro Valles is proving to be a top goalkeeper in La Liga. I'm very happy with Maxi for the game he had. Yes, it's true that towards the end, he got a bit tired because he hasn't had many minutes in several games, but he provided balance, very good play, pause when necessary. He's a very young lad who is in the learning process but is destined to be a great footballer.'

'I liked it; it's one of those things that sometimes come to mind a couple of days before the match when I think about the lineup and Pejiño stands out. I don't think he did badly, but it wasn't his best game. However, he has that talent that teams really need.'"
