Luis Carrión: "We’re ready to put on a good performance and secure the win at home"

In the press conference at the club's training ground, Carrión noted, “Betis is a good team, with strong link-up play and a solid build-up from the back. They defend well in the box and also press high effectively. We need to be at 100% to win games like this.”

Here are some of his key statements:

“The team needs to transmit excitement, energy, and hunger to the fans. The supporters need to see that the players are giving everything. It’s understandable that people were unhappy with our first half against Athletic, although the second half went better for us. Tomorrow’s match is important, and we’ll try to make sure the fans enjoy the game, get the win, and keep moving forward.”

“What Álex Suárez is doing deserves praise. His ankle injury was expected to keep him out longer, but he’s making a big effort to be ready. We’ll need to assess whether it’s risky for him to play. I want to thank him for putting his ankle on the line for the good of UD Las Palmas. We need to remember that when things don’t go his way.”

“In Pamplona, we created six clear scoring chances, including the offside goal by Fabio Silva, which was very close. We scored from a tricky set-piece situation, but we got it right. After that, we had four more clear chances that we couldn’t finish. The team generated a high volume of chances, and watching the other games in La Liga, this is less worrying than if we weren’t creating anything at all.”

“I have confidence in everyone on the team. Injuries give us the opportunity to see the level of other players. The lineup tomorrow will be chosen with the goal of beating Betis. If we need to call up a player from the reserve team, we will.”
